Jerry Maguire is currently #47 on my flickchart list.
It took a bit of scrolling through my list to find my first J. I really expected it to be Jurassic Park, doubly so since the kids have recently been introduced to my favorite dinosaur movie and we have watched it a lot. However, Jerry Maguire is ONE SLOT ahead of Jurassic Park.
I have not seen this movie in a long time. And I am not really a Cameron Crowe fan.
This movie, however, was released during an incredible time of doubt and self-reflection in my own life. When I went to see it, alone, it resonated with me. A man who lost himself...needed to hit the bottom before bouncing back. And Jerry's mission statement..."The Things We Think and Do Not Say"...it was MY call to arms. Everything in the movie, especially at the time, showed me how things could be for me.
It was me.
And I am almost afraid to watch it again. I worry it won't stand the test of time. I also don't want to re-rank it.
But either way, I got the happy ending I finally realize I deserved.
