Once in a great while a movie comes along that truly grips and uplifts its audiences. Such a movie is An Office And A Gentleman, a timeless tale of romance, friendship and growth.
Loner Zack Mayo (Richard Gere) enters Officer Candidate School to become a Navy pilot and in thirteen torturous weeks he learns the importance of discipline, love and friendship. Louis Gossett, Jr. won an Academy Award for his brilliant portrayal of the tough drill instructor who teaches Zack that no man can make it alone. And while Gossett tries to warn the young officer about the local girls who will do anything to catch themselves pilot husbands, Zack eventually learns to love one (Debra Winger) while his fellow candidate, a memorable character portrayed by David Keith, struggles with a very different fate.
An Officer and A Gentleman is a rich and satisfying story with moving performances that will stay with you long after the film has ended.

I was disappointed. I feel that this 30 year old film has little to offer a modern audience. One redeeming feature for me, though, was Louis Gossett's role as the drill sergeant was a pleasant surprise. His character was tough without being the - too often presented - sadistic creep.

Yep, its amazing how good this movie is even after almost 30 years. Have always liked Richard Gere as actor and he is great in this movie. Well worth watching.

Even after 28 years this film still stands up, Quality acting, script and story. Debra Winger and Louis Gossett Jr own this film and Richard Gere's career would peak with this film.
Get it, watch it and remember the lines!

This would have to be one of the classic love stories. The characters predictably 'find' themselves, but it's beautifully done.

I think this is one of Richard Gere's best movies. I enjoyed it when it first came out and I wasn't disappointed the second time around. This is definitely a "let's all back the underdog movie." Great stuff!
