‘Show ME the money!’ Yes, Cuba Gooding Jr. yelling down the phone to Tom Cruise in 'Jerry Maguire' will go down in history as one of the most famous movie lines ever. Of course the writer/director - Cameron Crowe - is no stranger to creating on-screen magic.
And whether documenting rock ‘n’ roll and groupie culture in the 1970s or first love in ‘Say Anything…’ you can be sure the characters’ sartorial glory will inspire a trip to your nearest vintage shop.

Penelope Cruz in Vanilla Sky
