- Swayze gets agreement; Point Break is called probably his last best film.
- Ghost is proposed as Moore’s peak because it opens a decade including A Few Good Men, the Vanity Fair cover, a reported $20 million for Striptease, Disclosure and G.I. Jane. The cover itself is offered and accepted as an alternate apex.
- Whoopi’s Ghost peak is rejected in favor of Sister Act, with 1992 also including The Player.
- Goldwyn’s peak is placed at Scandal rather than Ghost; Zucker is selected, partly through speculative financial participation.
- Unchained Melody and the shadow-dragging depiction of hell get yes answers.
- A tentative unanswerable question interrupts: what happens to an ordinary person such as Lyle Ferguson, can one negotiate with the light, and is there minor-league heaven? A hospital patient’s immediate departure is contrasted with Sam remaining. Responses suggest only people involved in murder face the demons, while forgery might still allow heaven and good deeds might resolve purgatory. No separate formal category is announced.
