An Officer and a Gentleman
Dir: Taylor Hackford
1982
***
An Officer and a Gentleman is probably most famous for its end scene with the song 'Up Where We Belong' (sung by Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes) playing and Richard Gere all dressed up in his immaculate white Navel suit. It's probably the best bit too. It's somewhere between Full Metal Jacket and Heartbreak Ridge but with a romantic story-line. It's much cheesier than I thought it would be but as long as you ignore David Keith's horrible performance you will enjoy and to be honest, Louis Gossett Jr's performance more than makes up for it.
