  • The crusted pornographic magazine is a leading choice because it anchors a major comic scene. — Bill Simmons
  • The giant penis sculpture is another leading choice, with a joke about repairing its severed portion. — Bill Simmons
  • Michael Cera’s yellow windbreaker, the gun, Franco’s paintings, Channing Tatum’s collar, and the Gandalf pipe are alternatives.

Saturday Night Fever

Most Rewatchable Scene

You Should Be Dancing solo; opening credits

  • The opening credits are indelible and endlessly parodied; most people have only seen the first minute. — Bill Simmons
  • In the opening Tony carries a paint can, stacks two pizza slices and eats them at once, and hits on two women, blocking one from passing in a point-of-view shot; the music makes the scene. — Jimmy Kimmel
  • Travolta gives a one-of-one unicorn performance; no actor of the last 50 years could pull off the opening walk, with only a young Mario Lopez or a young Pacino floated. — Jimmy Kimmel
  • Magic Mike and Channing Tatum are named the closest current-era equivalent for driving women crazy. — Jimmy Kimmel
  • The first disco sequence brings Disco Inferno, an "I love to watch you dance" cameo by a Saturday Night Live alum, and the Night Fever group line dance. — Bill Simmons
  • Tony popping out of his bedroom in his underwear doing "Al Pacino, Attica" for his grandmother is a funny, real moment rooted in 1977. — Jimmy Kimmel
  • The first coffee scene, where Tony is called a cliche on his way to no place, is praised as well written and well acted.
  • The Father Frank Jr. disco visit includes the Fran Drescher cameo, and she is called the best-looking girl in the club.
  • In the You Should Be Dancing scene Travolta takes over the floor; he threatened to quit unless it was shot wide instead of in close-ups, and it plays like a sports movie. — Bill Simmons
  • The solo scene is called one of the five most iconic scenes of the 1970s and announced in advance as this participant's category winner. — Bill Simmons
  • The first Brooklyn Bridge scene was filmed about 600 feet up with few safety precautions. — Bill Simmons
  • The dance contest is enjoyable because it is infuriating, with Caesar and Maria excelling; the other view is that the final dance is underwhelming compared with the solo scene. — Jimmy Kimmel
  • The You Should Be Dancing scene is picked as most rewatchable. — Bill Simmons
  • The opening scene with the credits is the other pick, accepted as fair. — Bill Simmons
The Bodyguard

What’s Aged the Best?

Whitney and Costner at their peaks; bodyguard-romance premise; soundtrack; Dolly Parton connection; resentful-sister concept; 'permanent position' quote; widescreen; Costner's haircut; a cappella opening; song-swap story; Costner's eulogy; Secret Service guys

  • Whitney in her late prime and Costner at his peak head the list. — Van Lathan
  • Professional bodyguard romances are loved, including Ridley Scott's late-80s Someone to Watch Over Me with Mimi Rogers, which has a similar premise. — Bill Simmons
  • A British terrorism series possibly called Bodyguard, with a Game of Thrones actor named Richard is liked. — Bill Simmons
  • Protectors crossing lines are compelling because the job is so intimate: a rigid, disciplined guy whose gooey center someone reaches. — Van Lathan
  • The Sentinel with Michael Douglas as a framed Secret Service agent is recommended as a rewatchable mid-2000s entry. — Bill Simmons
  • The soundtrack is loaded and called the best of all time; I Will Always Love You was a Dolly Parton song that finally found the right voice. — Bill Simmons
  • One participant learned only about four years earlier, from a Dolly Parton fan at TMZ, that the song was a cover, at 37 years old. — Van Lathan
  • The original singer owned and loved the cover, pulled over the first time she heard it, and showed no bitterness. — Bill Simmons
  • The resentful older sister-assistant concept is an untapped idea for movies and TV. — Bill Simmons
  • A favorite quote: "I'm no good in a permanent position, Monty, my feet go to sleep." — Bill Simmons
  • The widescreen framing was hard to follow on square TVs for 15 years and now plays better. — Bill Simmons
  • Costner's crew-cut, Steve McQueen-style hair became a thing that Clooney took further on ER and Jake tried on Melrose Place, sparking a Grant Show tangent. — Bill Simmons
  • Costner's idea to open I Will Always Love You a cappella was great. — Bill Simmons
  • What Becomes of the Brokenhearted was meant to be the cover until Fried Green Tomatoes used it to end that film in 1991. — Bill Simmons
  • A piece of Costner's eulogy is read: Whitney lacked confidence during filming, sang the whole song without a band, and was the only one who could have played Rachel at that time.
  • Costner's feelings for Houston deserve their own discussion; a Grantland party anecdote says Costner, brought by Kimmel five or six years earlier, still had it. — Bill Simmons
  • Secret Service guys have aged well: The Last Boy Scout is defended, later entries include the Channing Tatum White House movie and the Fallen films, and Ving Rhames in Dave is a shared favorite. — Van Lathan
