- The first answer is Phoenix.
- A case is made for Rob Reiner, read from Wikipedia: after this film he co-founded Castle Rock Entertainment, probably worth billions.
- That participant still sides with River Phoenix for a generational, timeless performance; James Dean in East of Eden now seems histrionic, while Phoenix would fit an HBO show tomorrow.
- Phoenix was revered by his generation in a way Leo may never have been; the speaker knows of no documentary about him, and people close to him will not exploit him, so he wins the movie.
