25 Football Films to Love (Even if You Don't Love Football)1 of 25
Jerry Maguire (1996)
This Cameron Crowe classic made "Show me the money!" part of the pop-culture lexicon. In addition to Tom Cruise's turn as a young agent who walks away from a successful career to embrace a core set of values, we also meet an adorable child actor (Jonathan Lipnicki), witness a breakout performance by Renee Zellweger, and get to revel in Oscar-winning work from Cuba Gooding Jr. as a volatile, demanding, but ultimately redeeming professional football player.
