Twenty years ago Tuesday, Jerry Maguire hit theaters. Starring Tom Cruise (pictured above with his then-wife Nicole Kidman), Jonathan Lipnicki, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Renée Zellweger, Kelly Preston, and Jerry O'Connell, among others, the sports film brought in $273.5 million worldwide and picked up Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor for Cruise, Best Original Screenplay for Cameron Crowe, and Best Film Editing, as well as a win for Gooding Jr., who was named Best Supporting Actor. Jerry Maguire also introduced the iconic quotes "You complete me," and "You had me at 'hello,'" and taught viewers everywhere that the human head weighs eight pounds. In honor of the beloved movie's 20th anniversary, take a look back at its star-studded 1996 premiere, ahead.
