Crowe and Connie Nielsen receive affirmative apex rulings; Hans Zimmer is proposed, gladiator movies are disputed against Spartacus, incest is deferred to Game of Thrones, and touching wheat is affirmed.

Lisa Bonet is accepted as the main Apex Mountain answer; the DMV on film is an additional candidate, while Jake Busey is rejected in favor of Starship Troopers.

The unusually clear 105 freeway and possibly pre-L.A.-Live Los Angeles are the only plausible apexes; none of the principal artists peak here.

McGillis, Rossovich and Simpson–Bruckheimer are leading apex candidates

Rob Reiner receives a qualified case, while Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan, and New York are rejected in favor of later or earlier peaks.

The Coen brothers’ picture/director win and Javier Bardem’s iconic Chigurh make this a plausible apex for both; Brolin’s later franchise fame complicates his case.

Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, 1980s action movies, Argyle, and John McTiernan are accepted Apex Mountain cases; Bonnie Bedelia is rejected.
