    **whispering to date at the beginning of the movie** That's the officer.

    **whispering to date at the end of the movie** And that's the gentleman.

    Just hasn’t really aged well at all. He becomes an officer but idk about a gentleman. An Officer and an Asshole maybe a more suitable title

    that scene where Sid is standing in a patch of flowers and forlornly looking out over the cliff to the ocean with the words ‘loverboy’ printed on the back of his sweater is such a Mood

    set in a world where industry chimneys disgorging heavy plumes into the air while that is set as a nice landscape of small-town USA like nothing happened, this is at the bottom of its heart a movie about Richard "80s David Duchovny type" Gere looking for a real father figure and place for his fragile manhood in this world. he's so alone. at least he's breaking down once saying this, while being kind of an assholy hero for the rest…

    Only 14k people on here have seen this? 14k!? This movie gets referenced in movies and TV shows all the time! Well if you haven’t seen it and are a fan of 80’s cheese then it’s definitely a must watch!

    A decent navy cadet training school depiction, wrapped up in a downtrodden blue collar love story.

    This film feels influential on the later likes of Top Gun and even Full Metal Jacket. Inspiring, and full of truthful moments. Richard Gere is smoking, and Debra Winger has rarely been better, but the real star of the show is the Oscar winning performance by Louis Gossett Jnr.

    A solid crowd pleaser thanks to a worthy ensemble.

    ”Wave good-bye to your buddies, Mayonnaise!”

    Richard Gere’s a Navy Officer candidate who’s got nowhere else to go. Then he meets Debra Winger, a Puget Sound Deb who’s better than candy. Nearly two hours later, love finally lifts them up where they belong. The End.

    This boot camp drama with it’s heaping helping of schmaltzy romance, and more daddy issues than the Oates Military Academy, feels a bit like an already completed…
