Product Description:
Once in a great while a movie comes along that truly grips and uplifts its audiences. Such a movie is An Officer 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 tortuous 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.
Amazon.com essential video:
Richard Gere plays an enrollee at a Naval officers candidate school, and Debra Winger is the woman who wants him. That's pretty much it, story-wise, in this romantic drama, which is more effective in a moment-to-moment, scene-by-scene way, where the two stars and Oscar-winner Louis Gossett Jr.--as Gere's tough-as-nails drill instructor--are fun to watch. Sexy, syrupy, with occasional pitches of high drama (Gere having a near-breakdown during training is pretty strong), An Officer and a Gentleman proves to be a no-brainer date movie. --Tom Keogh

Part love story and part coming of age story, `An Officer and a Gentleman' tends to work on most accounts; surprisingly so. I say surprisingly since I am not a fan of Gere and found the films prose to be a little, how would you call it, weak; but I was pleasantly surprised by just how much I enjoyed this movie. Parts are a little preposterous, or should I say a little overdone (the ending in particular is a tad over the top) but for the most part the film seems genuine.

This 1982 flick was kind of a bitter sweet movie that was touching, heartfelt, that would make you smile and want to cry, since it's a movie about a young man(Richard Gere) who decides to join the Navy to do something with his life to get away from his sleazy alcoholic father who ends up going through hell & back while serving in the Navy and falls head-over-heels in love with a foxy down on her luck small town lady(Debra Winger)who brings out the best in Zach(Richard Gere) and supports him throughout ...

It is great to watch a young and buff Richard Gere evolve from a self-serving bad boy to a caring and involved friend. I absolutely love the scene where Zach helps Segar walk the wall of the obstacle course, including watching the guys go wild with happiness over their triumph.
Debra Winger is a good actress, and you have to hand it to both Gere and Winger that they could pull this movie off when their lack of rapport was legendary. To be fair to Gere, Winger (at least at that time) was known ... Read More

An officer and a gentleman tries to combine two plots: 1) a good-for-nothing tries to make it in the navy and 2) A romance between two people from different social standards. These are two genres that CAN mix, but director Taylor Hackford just didn't succeed. In two hours, he showed 13 weeks of military training, a developing romance and character building. As I said before, this can be done, but Hackford just scratched the surface with every plot. He just took too little time to really show the essence of ... Read More

can love overcome a troubled and loveless background? Can a cold heart have the ice melt away? Well,this movie was fascinating and I loved richard gere's character and how he was able to rise above his past to become something better.
