Jerry Maguire, 1996

There is a sensitivity thing that some people have. I don’t have it. I don’t cry at movies, I don’t gush over babies, I don’t buy Christmas presents 5 months early, and I DON’T tell the guy who just ruined both our lives, ‘Oh, poor baby.’ But I do love you.
If you’re able to grab a copy of this film, you will see a catchy phrase out front – “Everybody loved him… everybody disappeared.” Tom Cruise plays Jerry Maguire, a sports agent whose so-called perfect world changes as he realizes he’d been doing things the wrong way. His philosophy changed, and so did everyone. Everyone who loved him left him. The very few who stuck with him (Renee Zellweger as Dorothy Boyd and Cuba Gooding, Jr. as Rod Tidwell) proved to be loyal and were Jerry’s saving grace. Jerry was able to stop doing what he’d always been doing and made a difference for himself and for the only athlete who stayed with him, Tidwell. A truly inspiring story, Jerry Maguire will captivate you and leave you talking about it for days.
