  Jerry Maguire might be about a sports agent, but it's really about taking a chances. Over the course of the movie, Jerry's (Tom Cruise) relationships with his client Rod (Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr.) and his wife Dorothy (Renee Zellweger) grow and change as he learns to let people in for the first time. The movie also contains two of cinema's most unmistakable quotes about love: "You complete me" and "You had me at hello."

  Jerry Maguire is the perfect dose of rom-com mixed with a pinch of football.
