By far the better of the two Cameron Crowe-Tom Cruise collaborations (let’s not even talk about Vanilla Sky), Jerry Maguire finds Cruise in top Oscar-baiting form. He succeeded, nabbing a nod for Best Actor. Still, this tale of a sleazy sports agent finding love and redemption has got everything: the manic Cruise (“Show me the money!”), the huckster Cruise (“Help me help you”), the emotional Cruise (“You complete me”). Watch the clip of that last scene again. Dry eyes = no heart.
