Jerry Maguire There are few movies quite as quotable as Jerry Maguire, which also managed to make Tom Cruise into a viable romantic lead, not just "action hero guy." The story of a self-centreed sports agent who slowly gains a conscience isn't exactly a new narrative, but the humour and wit of the script — not to mention some iconic performances — elevated it into the pantheon of movie history, to the point that even people who have never seen it can quote its most famous moments.
