Jerry Maguire (1996)
A great football movie, and almost perfect movie all around, Cameron Crowe’s 1996 Jerry Maguire follows sports agent Jerry Maguire as he has an epiphany: more focus on clients, less on money. That doesn’t play well with his superagency, which fires him, leaving him with one client, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr., who won a supporting actor Oscar for his incredibly charismatic performance).
This one has plenty of drama, excellent comedic dialogue, and plenty for the romantics out there, too: Not just Jerry’s fumbling relationship with adorable single mom Dorothy (Renee Zellweger), but also Tidwell’s deeply committed marriage to Marcee (Regina King).
