Weaver, Biehn and Goldstein: yes; Cameron and Paxton: no

Hanks’s mid-1990s summit, Quinlan’s nomination and Houston’s championship era

Die Hard successors and LA buses; Daniels’s 1994 is debated

The panel audits Fincher, Ruffalo as a detective, Gyllenhaal, San Francisco movies, Chloë Sevigny, Fincher villains, John Carroll Lynch, Donovan, wooden dildos, and Zodiac within Fincher’s filmography.

No person peaks here; mistaken-identity car crashes, same-night sequels, the early slasher era, and hospital horror are considered and rejected or left unresolved.

The panel considered Redford as director, Fiennes, Schofield, Christopher McDonald, Geritol, and Morrow, with several explicit yes/no judgments and no single winner.

Jonathan Demme, Anthony Hopkins, serial-killer movies, Q Lazzarus, face-wearing, Chris Isaak, Francis Bacon homage, lamb chops, Ted Levine, night vision, the tuck dance, and Gumb’s van all receive cases.

Tom Hanks is the strongest apex, with qualified cases for Zemeckis, Sinise, shrimp, boomer culture, and the 1994 Oscars.

Tommy Lee Jones and Andrew Davis: yes

Under Siege was identified as Seagal’s apex; other cases included Busey, Eleniak, the 1989 Playboy issue, Voodoo Child, and movie cooks.

The movie is not the people’s apex, but it has cases for Uggs in 2008, weed itself, comic gun-cocking montages, and the Daewoo Lanos.

Day-Lewis and PTA both have strong apex cases; oil, modern outdoor epics, oil-covered faces, private bowling alleys, well explosions, and feeding liquor to a baby receive playful subcases.
