- The gas-station dance to My Sharona is remembered as a defining scene from the original release.
- The walk after Winona Ryder’s character is fired makes her connection with Troy legible before he tries to kiss her.
- Their angriest interactions are said to validate the central connection more convincingly than the positive ones.
- The Melrose Place AIDS monologue wins for turning Steve Zahn’s character’s fear into a funny, period-specific imagined television plot.
- The secret-handshake confrontation between Michael and Troy is praised for performances that could easily have failed with different actors.
- The All I Want Is You montage, including Winona Ryder’s character thinking she sees Troy and checking on him through Steve Zahn’s character, is praised as an effective use of music. — Chris Ryan

- Another participant explicitly selects “the U2 scene” as the most rewatchable scene.
