An Officer and a Gentleman - 5 stars out of 5 stars

Ah to be a Naval Aviator,May -o -nese !!!!Thats what I think off when I hear"Up where we belong"No popular song ever fit a movie much better.One of the best "3 tool" movies ever made.
1) Military movie covering the training of what is still the premier glamour job in the service,a naval pilot.
2)Coming of age for a young person whose fighting a past full of grief and disappointment.
3)Romance against all odds.
Released in 1982 it ran 124 minutes and I gave it a full rating,the cast fits like a GLOVE,Velvet and Mace.Trailer URL below pix and a IMDB summary below.MUST SEE.

Zack Mayo is a young man who has signed up for Navy Aviation Officer Candidate School. He is a Navy brat who has a bad attitude problem. GySgt Foley is there to train and evaluate him and will clearly find Zack wanting. Zack meets Paula, a girl who has little beyond family and must decide what it is he wants to do with his life.
