  • Cruise is rejected and Brickman affirmed. One host chooses this for high-quality 1980 s teen movies over Fast Times, while another prefers Say Anything.
  • Chicago suburban films leads to a four-film grouping: Home Alone, Ferris Bueller, Risky Business and Thief.
  • Porsche receives a strong case for inspiring a generation's aspirations, but no explicit final yes.
  • Pimps loses to earlier cultural examples; In the Air Tonight loses to Miami Vice; Pantoliano and Pinchot are rejected, while De Mornay's later blockbusters challenge this film.
  • The Drake is considered but other appearances, including My Best Friend's Wedding, prevent a settled answer.
