- Simmons receives an affirmative Apex choice.
- Teller's ultimate Apex is considered still ahead, with Maverick provisionally his biggest moment and its Great Balls of Fire scene a personal favorite.
- Chazelle's Apex is La La Land rather than Whiplash.
- Jazz movies are debated without a clear Apex winner; Lady Sings the Blues, Bird and Paris Blues are alternatives, and Whiplash did not launch a new wave of jazz films.
- The crash is praised for a small-budget film but not established as the all-time car-accident Apex; a Final Destination scene is offered as stronger.
- Caravan receives an unqualified affirmative Apex choice.
