An Officer and a Gentleman

The movie that made Richard Here and Debra Winger major stars. Gere is an officer candidate trying to become a naval pilot. Winger is the townie he falls in love with. Louis Gossett Jr is his drill sergeant in an iconic role. Good movie but not great. Gere's delivery of a few lines is laughably bad to the point that he sounds borderline retarded. 7/10.

Arbitrage

Richard Gere is a bigwig at an investment bank who's trying to sell his company before his fraud is discovered. He's a good guy though - he only committed the fraud to cover up losses on investments being wrongly held up in Russia. This isn't anything particularly groundbreaking but it's good. 6/10.
