Since this movie is such a huge 80's classic, I was really get to check it out. Well, eventually, I ended up with some mixed feelings about the damned thing. Indeed, even though there were some good things in it, there was also some stuff that really bothered me. First of all, what kind of title was that? I mean, I have to admit that it did sound catchy but it didn't represent at all the movie or ... read more

Brilliant romantic drama! Amazing themes on the difficult struggles to become a Naval pilot. Kind of inspired me to become an officer someday.

(OK) Effective love story with melodramatic touches but most of all the push or arribism in Gere and Winger and their couple of sidekicks. Hackford has punch...

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 80’s (1542 movies items)

" 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 girl is likewise compromised by his unwillingness to give of himself."

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)

"Pros: Debra Winger, Richard Gere, and Lou Gossett, Jr. The theme song, by Jennifer Warnes and Joe Cocker. It’s one of the best romantic dramas, ever. Cons: For some, Zack may come off as kind of a jerk. It may come up as times, as a bit melodramatic."
