THE BODYGUARD[JANUARY 90s FILM FESTIVAL]

Running time: 164 mins

Join us every weekend in January as we rewind the tape and return to the 90s at The Arc Cinema for our third annual celebration of the greatest decade in movie history. A time of blockbuster soundtracks, over-the-top heroes, megastar romances, suspiciously baggy jeans and a Hollywood budget spent entirely on explosions. Relive the films that defined a generation, broke box office records, and made us all genuinely believe we?d be wearing cargo trousers forever.

Before The Bodyguard, soundtracks were just albums. After The Bodyguard, they became EVENTS. A superstar romance with a world-class voice at the centre, this film didn?t just give us Whitney Houston?s legendary performance ? it gifted the world the ballad of the decade, a song so powerful it's practically a public emotional hazard. But the film itself has its own lasting legacy: glamour, danger, heartbreak and two megastars at the height of their powers. It's the 90s bottled into a single movie ? stylish, dramatic, and unforgettable ? the kind of cinema we simply don?t make anymore.

★★★★ ?An innocent popcorn pleasure, all the way up to that over-the-top scene on Oscar night.? ? The Guardian
