Why is it so entrancing watching a boy learn to be a soldier (and, presumably, a man at the same time)? I don’t know, but it is and not only do I love Officer and a Gentleman, but I also love every movie since then that is a cheap O&aG copy. Such as Annapolis. And The Guardian (on cable yesterday when I needed some downtime. Altho I do own it on DVD as well). (And one could even argue Top Gun belongs in that list.)
