 | In this movie a young Richard Gere joins the Air Force in the hope of a beter life. The girls who live near the base camp are willing to do anything to get to marry a Naval Aviator.Sadly Richard and his best friend do not see past the deceptiveness of these two girls played by Deborah Wiger and Lisa Blount. This movie seems to be sending out the message that if you are a woman trapped in a tedious job then all you gotta do is find a successful guy to rescue you from your life. Gee. I though that concept went out the window back in the days of Knights In Shining Armour Rescuing Poor Damsels In Distress. I give this movie 5 stars because it is a another sad attempt by Hollywood to portray Fantasy as Reality. |

| Who can forget the tearjerking ending and the big sighs in the theater when Richard Gere carries Debra Winger out of the paper mill? Gotta be one of the most unforgettable romantic moments in film! Streetwise, embittered Gere finds true love with gentle blue-collar Paula and wisdom in the rough lessons taught by Lou Gossett Jr in his Oscar-winning performance. Always a classic! |

| This 1982 romantic classic is a perfect remedy for Valentine's Day. This movie not only pleases the woman you love, but it's only enjoyable for the guys, too. I'm a man, so there I admit I liked the film. I'm not too keen on romantic movies, but if the story is about a man who trying "to be all he can be" and trying to get the girl, that's my ticket home. This "chick flick" has a young Richard Gere playing a self seeking, ill-bred nobody who enlists in the Navy training corps under a strict and disciplined drill instructor(Louis Gossett, Jr. who gives a Oscar winning performance) who teaches him the fine line of courage, friendship and compassion toward his fellow man. And of course his hard work pays off by wooing the lovely Debra Winger where both of indulge into tendor passion. This movie is oozing of sexiness and the commanding performances by Gere and Winger are all worth while. The film has enticing moments of drama, which are perceptive to the viewer. The timeless song UP WHERE WE BELONG may be kinda fruity to listen for a guy, but hey admit it! Some of you sing it in the shower I bet! Anyway, AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMEN should be a perfect gift or viwing on Valentine's Day. |

| I never really thought to watch this movie because it was considered to be "sappy" but watching it on cable, one can appreciate the romance portrayed in this movie. Gere plays a naval cadet training to be an officer who meets a factory woman played by Deborah Winger. His character is unemotional although he is love with the girl. His friend, however, is opposite of him. He was willing to love the woman who was Winger's friend in the movie, but she made it clear that love was the least thing she was looking for in a man and he met his own demise. Although this movie is over twenty years old, it is still a good movie to watch. Sometimes romance doesn't have to be about sex. It's about the emotion, the heart. |
