  • Tulane receives a qualified affirmative nomination.
  • Grisham’s ability to sell unwritten ideas as films supports an affirmative selection.
  • Conspiracy movies are rejected.
  • The return-from-the-plane farewell hug loses to The Bodyguard.
  • Edwin Newman is proposed, but his SNL hosting appearance offers a competing peak.
  • A later Washington peak is preferred; the title is unclear in the transcript.
  • Roberts’s Pretty Woman period is preferred, with Notting Hill and Erin Brockovich another strong stretch.
  • Adult theaters are considered, with a later Nicholson theater scene offered as the counterexample.
  • John Heard’s Big, Home Alone and After Hours roles displace this film.
