Girls usually swoon over a guy in uniform, but when that guy is a cocky, emotionally distant (but reachable!) Richard Gere, it's not even a fair fight. Gere melted hearts as hopeful Navy pilot Zack Mayo, an aloof cadet who needs a stern hand (Louis Gossett, Jr.), a best bud (David Keith) and a good woman (Debra Winger) to help him reach his true potential. At least one hanky required.
