An Officer And A Gentleman
Navy recruit Richard Gere strives to prove he's officer material while lifting factory girl Debra Winger up where she belongs in the neo-classic romance. Lou Gossett Jr won an Oscar as the drill sergeant who puts Gere's cocksure cadet Mayo through boot-camp hell. But it's worth all the pain and tragedy as the finale sweeps everyone off their feet. There'd have been no Top Gun without it.
