  • Chris chooses Andy’s promotion scene for Demme’s unsettling head-on framing and authentic wood-paneled club culture, compared with Trading Places’ banquet sequence. — Chris Ryan
  • Aged best: Hanks and Banderas’s authentic relationship scenes despite the thin Miguel role; Hanks’s Oscar speech inspiring In & Out. — Bill Simmons
  • Aged best: the awkward aftermath of the opera scene as Joe leaves rather than a sentimental fade. Wesley questions how much Andy’s solitude is actually shown, again connecting the perspective to Joe.
  • Joe’s hesitation on the stairs after leaving Andy is praised as an actorly moment; possible concern for his vulnerability is offered, while Wesley explicitly denies suggesting a sexual return. — Wesley Morris
  • Aged best: the family, the reuse of Demme actors such as Charles Napier, Philadelphia’s wealthy-club culture, period fear of lesions, and Andy briefly glimpsing his possible future in a dying patient. — Bill Simmons
  • Andy’s theater mustache and stubbled baseball-cap appearance prompt appreciation of Hanks’s looks and a teasing callback to Wesley’s earlier celebrity attractiveness opinion. — Wesley Morris
  • Aged best: jury deliberations reverse expectations about the apparent conservative juror, and the verdict reactions work. Robards’s villain and Joanne Woodward’s mother are praised. — Bill Simmons
  • Aged best: Springsteen’s award sweep is compared with Carly Simon’s Working Girl song; Robert Ridgely’s presence inevitably recalls his Boogie Nights character. — Bill Simmons

  • Keeping the romantic leads apart until the end is an aged-best structural choice. — Bill Simmons
  • Reiner's dopey, sarcastic supporting presence makes a strong impact in only two scenes. — Bill Simmons
  • Becky's repeated silent reactions to Walter are an aged-best comic detail. — Bill Simmons
  • Jonah's backhanded thanks for unusually cooked potatoes is praised as a perfectly childish insult. — Bill Simmons
  • A YouTube horror recut treating Annie as a murderous stalker is enthusiastically recommended. — Bill Simmons
  • Victoria's excessive laugh is admired as a comic conception, although the performance and character provoke disagreement. — Bill Simmons
  • The number-one soundtrack is praised, naming Jimmy Durante, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Carly Simon, Gene Autry, Joe Cocker, Harry Connick Jr., Tammy Wynette and Celine Dion. — Bill Simmons
  • Ryan's dresses and trench coat preserve a very 1993 look that can count as both best and worst; Annie Hall influence and a speculative AIDS-era aversion to revealing clothing are discussed. — Bill Simmons
  • Seattle's water, Pike Place and houseboat are aged-best choices; the airy light wood, round stair window and bathroom are especially admired, while the houseboat's mobility is questioned. — Juliet Litman
  • Annie's investigation anticipates modern internet stalking; her extensive results with limited 1993 resources are admired while hiring a private investigator goes too far.
  • Radio intimacy and parasocial attachment have aged well as evidence that people talking remains compelling content. — Amanda Dobbins
  • Drinks rather than dinner remains an effective first-date strategy because it allows a quick exit.
  • Movie references to Fatal Attraction, Pride of the Yankees and An Affair to Remember remain legible rather than dating the comedy. — Juliet Litman
  • Annie briefing Walter on sensitive family topics, including financial losses and the IRS, remains a convincing social detail. — Juliet Litman
