36. Jerry Maguire (1996)
Who knew a comedy about a sports agent could be so moving? Cuba Gooding Jr. may have won the Oscar for his showy role as NFL hotshot Rod Tidwell, but the heart of director Cameron Crowe's endlessly quotable film is the deeply affecting romance between Tom Cruise's titular 10-percenter and single mom Dorothy Boyd (Renée Zellweger). Using his sweet-talking powers for good instead of evil, the superagent discovers he has a soul — and pours it out to his mate.
KLEENEX MOMENT Jerry's instant-classic climactic speech, delivered to estranged love Dorothy in front of a divorced women's support group, includes not one, but two guaranteed-to-moisten-faces catchphrases: ''You complete me'' and ''You had me at hello.''
