Versatility Comes Naturally to American Gigolo Richard Gere

1. Yanks (1979)

In this war drama, Gere turns heads as a soldier stationed in Lancashire, England preparing for the Normandy landings. Gere represents the self-confident, outgoing American to the more cautious, war-weary Brits. He's happy-go-lucky and heart-breakingly earnest by turns - sincerity practically oozes from his eyes.
