US (1982): Drama/Romance

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), Taylor Hackford's An Officer and a Gentleman proves to be a no-brainer date movie.
