[@Father_of_Death]

Literally one of the best endings for a movie. It's not about the man saving the woman, she saves him and he carries her off to a new life.

[@alejandrovidal6441]

A new life for both...

[@janesgems7]

Please....why is needing to be saved seen as weak? Remember Titanic.

[@KalvinEllis]

Both saved each other. She saved him from his childhood trauma about his mother's suicide and not wanting to open up to people because of it, and he saved her from her fear of being abandoned like when her father abandoned her mother after she got pregnant. They were both broken people with fear of commitment, Paula just didn't hide her feelings for him, while Zack was afraid she'd end up like his mother and his friend so it took longer with him.

It’s a shame we don’t get movies like this anymore.

[@gregoryphillips3969]

Debra Winger may have been unhappy with the production but wow she was great in this movie. Richard Gere couldn't have been better. John Travolta passed on this which was a huge mistake. Gere captured the young stud actor in his prime as well as anyone ever has. Fantastic and for me top 10 movie of all time.

[@alexandriabutler440]

my girlfriend knew I wanted to marry her but she was afraid so she "ran away", then 3 months later she called me and said to come and get her. I drove 950 miles over 17 hours and we got married in Vegas on our way back to California. Watching this always gives me the same feeling I had when I saw her again. the best ending to a movie and I didn't even see it coming.

Greatest romantic love scene in the history of cinema

[@Glenn1967ful]

Up to An Officer And A Gentleman, America was making loads of cynical films with anti heroes and grim storylines. Then this came along and it was the story of a man with nothing going for him and a bad attitude overcoming his problems, falling in love and becoming a navy officer.

How come this movie is last to show up on every format. What the hell Paramount? You missed the Anniversary, but you put other dumb stuff on 4k first and not this? I mean we lost Louis Gossett Jr recently, this should be out by now. You guys are slow as molasses. The ending is so good, love this film. I first saw it in 1990 as a teenager. I too, wanted to fly jets, but my vision stopped me in my tracks. I still joined the military and retired after 20 years. Every time I wanted to quit I thought back to this movie, it helped me make it to the end.

If you had ever worked in a mill, you would know how stupid your statement was. You get paid by quota and all bonus pay depends on the amount of material you process.
