Favorite movie quote from Jerry Maguire, released in 1996

Movie Quote: I've got this great guy who loves my son, and he sure does like me a lot.
Quoted by: Dorothy (Rene Zellweger)
Context in the movie: Dorothy (Rene Zellweger) says this to her sister, and is talking about her boss Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise). They have been dating and she falls in love with him, but he is just in the relationship for convenience and maybe a sense of guilt for causing her to quit her former job. So her sister is trying to talk her out of marrying him.

Impact it had on me: This line makes me sad because there are a lot of single women out there who settle for less just to have a father figure for their kids. They stop looking for "Mr. Right" and settle for "Mr. He Will Do".

Favorite movie quote from As Good As It Gets, released in 1997

Movie Quote: You make me want to be a better man.

Context in the movie: Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson) says this to Carol Connelly (Helen Hunt) one night when he's trying to convince her to give him another chance, and to have a relationship with him.
Impact it had on me: This line gives me hope that we can all have a positive impact in the lives of others if we try.
