An Officer and a Gentleman
Directed by Taylor Hackford
Zack Mayo is an aloof, taciturn man who aspires to be a navy pilot. Once he arrives at training camp for his 13-week officer's course, Mayo runs afoul of abrasive, no-nonsense drill Sergeant Emil Foley. Mayo is an excellent cadet, but a little cold around the heart, so Foley rides him mercilessly, sensing that the young man would be prime officer material if he weren't so self-involved. Zack's affair with a working… From TMDB

60 of 104 · most liked firstMy grandma and grandpa went to see An Officer and A Gentleman, their convinced that it was a nice upstanding movie about the Navy, in which my grandfather had served. (Although since grandpa was in the ACTUAL NAVY, I’m confident he only pretended to be shocked.)

Despite famous ending, romance is not AOAAG's greatest attribute. Richard Gere's charisma, rawness, & character arc define film's success. And supporting cast excels. #filmsky 📽

But formula is executed to perfection in this crowd-pleasing romance. Winger & Gere hating one another is just icing on cake. 6 Oscar noms. Louis Gossett, Jr. win. #filmsky 📽

A narcissist watches the same film and wants to be the Sergeant – shouting, causing fear, and controlling everyone. Anyone who prefers control over love is a toxic danger to be avoided.

Star Trek's original pilot featured Spoke and a female Number One.
