The only thing about this film that I thought was unfortunate was that they did not develop the Lisa Ellenburger character, Seegur, any more than they did.
In fact, Ellenburger was a body-builder and could easily have run circles around the other actors in that obstacle course, yet they portrayed her as being physically too weak to get over the climbing wall.
For people considering the military, the movie Full Metal Jacket is how it really is. The Marine Corps boot camp was very accurately portrayed. Forget what recruiters tell you. Recruiters are paid liars and are very good at it. They find what you want to hear, and promise it to you. Full Metal Jacket, real.
Ever see "Texas Chainsaw Massacre?" Horrible, isn't it? When I get to the movies, you know I'd like to see something more romantic, you know. Like 'An Officer and a Gentleman' or something. Something you can take the wife to, you know what I mean?

I am saddened to hear of the death of Lisa Blount, who played the scheming Lynette Pomeroy in this movie. She gave it all in everything that she was in. This is one of my all time favorite movies. We love you, Lisa. And we will miss you. RIP.
@WorleyClarence No, she apparently died of somthing called ITP, which is a condition where the sufferer's blood platelet level is too low, resulting in the blood not to be able to clot. It's related to haemophilia, by the sound of it.
@sluggo06 trust me when i say lou gosset jr is much nicer. ive been to the navy camp already and boy htey were all DICKS. but i guess they were just doing their job
aghhhhhh i love this movie...since i was a little girl richard gere and julia roberts have always been my fav actors...richard gere is just so amazing in this movie...awsome.
AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN - HQ Trailer (1982) Are you kidding I loved Richard Gere in this film, great acting, great movie. One of my all time favorite classics. I was engaged to a military man at the time & this movie hit me like a ton of bricks. Richard Gere is one of my favorite actors, so loved this film. Debra Winger was great also. My high school sweetheart even looked very much like Gere, same eyes. Thanks for capturing love & a timeless story. Gloria Houghton
An Offcer & a Gentleman, Is a great movie from the director of Ray, White Nights,& Against All Odds. It stars Richard Gere, Debra Winger, David Caruso, David Keith, & Lousi Gossett Jr. as SGT Foley. in the role he won an Oscar for. better him to deserve it than Robert Preston as the pansy toddy in victor / victoria. SGT Foley's the man!
@courtneykayem12 haha at first i thought it was my computer freezing up or something at that point, then i heard the narrator and was like oh...i seee.
david caruso is part of the cast celebrating the 25th anniversary of the movie - he praises the film - as do richard, david, lou and others. for its time, this was one gutsy and very sexy movie. i also recall lou gossett jr. winning the oscar - that was a very cool moment.
@scriptumcreative I`m compilating a video with the first appearings in Movies of the CSI actors. Can you recommended a scene of this movie that includes mainly DAvid Caruso???
David Caruso might not want for people to remember his part in this. He might not want people to remember his part in First Blood either. CSI Miami caters to his ego much more I'm sure.
I would like to thank Louis Gossett for making my decision much easier as to eliminating the military as a career choice. Honorable mention to Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket for solidifying my decision.
Great movie. Great actors/actresses. Jr's skeleton would break Gere's(just do the math). I'd love to debate Jr's & Gere's politics in public without going """"there""""

DIE FOR WHAT!!!! ELITIST SCUM FUCKER! I HONOR YOUR REASONING< BUT YOUR WRONG, WAY TO GO Mr. Rich Scum Fucker Gere, FOUND rELIGOn in the 13 Dali Lama! Should we trust gere I say NO!!!!
Yeah, I know. I meant that I have twin brothers. One wants to be a marine. The other wants to be in NCIS. I think he might go into the armed forces anyway.
If by above the Navy you mean, above all branches in having a combined lowest ASVAB score among it's members, only 10% of the Navy's funding, and the lowest quality of life among all branches, then yes, Semper Fi!
Can't we just admire a beautiful movie? I hate corporations and am a social democrat/socialist(Spanish PSOE) but I don't spew hate and spam people all around.
Go fuck yourself. Learn to appreciate the simple things before you attack the complicated things
Well why don't you go complain at some political video, yes? This is a sodding movie and a good one at that. What does this movie have to do AT ALL with killing innocent people? Its a bloody love story and a struggle against one self, not a movie supporting any war. For fuck sake man, the star of the movie is the world's most famous Buddhist.
