# Jerry Maguire (1996)

Aug 19, 2025 | Rated 4 out of 5 | Dir. Cameron Crowe

This movie worked for me. What a strange screenplay structure - but it totally worked for me.

I just have memories of seeing this VHS in every thrift store ever. But now I get it. Everyone on Earth watched this movie and had to own it at home.
