And The Bodyguard an iconic moment? That movie is utter gash and I'd be hard pressed to find a person of my generation who has seen. Heck, I'd struggle to find many that even know who Kevin Costner is.

But YOU do LOL


You know about the movie lol


The movie is an Iconic moment mostly because of the soundtrack and "I Will Always Love You" the song.

I study film at university and I'm a member of a music site. People that don't have those passions, they haven't seen the film.
The song is famous, maybe even iconic, but I don't think the film is in any respect.
