Jerry Maguire/Meet Joe Black/Intolerable Cruelty

Relationship triple bill. In 'Jerry Maguire' (1996), top sports manager Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is fired when he suggests to his employers SMI that they concentrate on caring more for fewer clients.

He starts up his own company, with only two clients - one of whom double-crosses him by returning to SMI.

However, Jerry still has American football player Ron Tidwell (an Oscar-winning Cuba Gooding Jr), plus the unlikely support of fellow former SMI employee Dorothy Boyd (Renee Zellweger), a single mother who Jerry begins dating.

In 'Meet Joe Black' (1998), media tycoon William Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) is approaching his sixty-fifth birthday when he encounters Death (Brad Pitt) himself.

Parrish is offered a few extra days of life if he allows the Grim Reaper into his home and, keen to finish off an important company merger, agrees, introducing his new guest to friends and family as Joe Black.

Joe begins to fall in love with Parrish's daughter, Susan (Claire Forlani), who is engaged to Drew (Jake Weber), Parrish's deputy.

When Parrish decides against the merger, Drew stages a boardroom coup and attempts to oust the tycoon.

Finally, in 'Intolerable Cruelty' (2003), George Clooney stars as Miles Massey, a divorce lawyer who always wins his case until he comes head to head with the scheming, money-grabbing, yet alluring, Mrs Marilyn Rexroth (Catherine Zeta-Jones).

Miles and Marilyn each embark on their own ruthless romantic missions to outdo one another and amass great wealth.
