  • Whitney in her late prime and Costner at his peak head the list.
  • Professional bodyguard romances are loved, including Ridley Scott's late-80s Someone to Watch Over Me with Mimi Rogers, which has a similar premise.
  • A British terrorism series possibly called Bodyguard, with a Game of Thrones actor named Richard is liked.
  • Protectors crossing lines are compelling because the job is so intimate: a rigid, disciplined guy whose gooey center someone reaches.
  • The Sentinel with Michael Douglas as a framed Secret Service agent is recommended as a rewatchable mid-2000s entry.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • The original singer owned and loved the cover, pulled over the first time she heard it, and showed no bitterness.
  • The resentful older sister-assistant concept is an untapped idea for movies and TV.
  • A favorite quote: "I'm no good in a permanent position, Monty, my feet go to sleep."
  • The widescreen framing was hard to follow on square TVs for 15 years and now plays better.
  • 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.
  • Costner's idea to open I Will Always Love You a cappella was great.
  • What Becomes of the Brokenhearted was meant to be the cover until Fried Green Tomatoes used it to end that film in 1991.
  • 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.
  • 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.
