    An Officer and a Gentleman is the best movie about love that I've seen in a long time.

    Undeniably, there's an element of corniness to this. But that doesn't keep An Officer and a Gentleman from being a first-rate movie - a beautifully acted, thoroughly involving romance.

    This movie is so unimportant it flies over your head without significant impact. The movie has a layer of moral tone and is resembles a dream factory.
