Giant Squid: Visions of the Giant Squid: Give Unto Me That Dirty Love by the Giant Squid
Although I have neither long nor often been acquainted with these internets as a graphical medium (the most conducive way for me to interact with he internets, when opportunity arrives, is via tele-text session, oft using the tiny screen and keyingboard here, aboard my cramped velocitating suit), I have long known by words-of-the-mouth that the internet is itself a veritable picto-pornucopia.

I've never seen Jerry Maguire in its entirety, but thanks to TBS's relentless airings of this film, I've seen enough to know the plot, and I've probably witnessed Tom Cruise smarming "you complete me" a dozen times. Despite the smarm, there's something about this movie — when it's on, I watch at least until the commercial break, even though I think it's one of Cameron Crowe's weakest films and, in general, a pretty crap movie.
