Jerry Maguire (1996 Cameron Crowe & scr)

How do you follow Wilder? You either watch another, straight away, go back to Lubitsch, or forward to Crowe.

This is so full of quotable lines you might as well just quote the entire screenplay.

106 EXT. DOROTHY'S FRONT PORCH -- NIGHT

Door opens to reveal Jerry Maguire with brown bag, shoulder hang-up bag, disheveled hair and sunglasses.

JERRY
I'm Jerry Maguire.

LAUREL
(super pleasant)
You seem just the way I pictured you. I'm
her disapproving sister Laurel.

JERRY
Honesty. Thank you.

Bonnie Hunt as Laurel is great.

And then there's:

"That's a bad cut."
"Thank god I didn't get her the ring she really wanted."
