60 of 359 · most liked firstSad news: Val Kilmer has died at 65. In the 1980s and 1990s--Top Secret, Heat, Tombstone, The Doors, really all the way through Kiss Kiss Bang Bang--he was so often an interesting and surprising studio leading man: An oddball with the face of a heartthrob. His best work is very worth revisiting.

neutral · AI labelView post →(Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Real Genius tied for second) (Tombstone is vastly overrated but yes, Kilmer is great in it)
positive · AI labelView post →Val Kilmer was a genuine movie star. He was also a killer supporting actor - his performances in "Tombstone", "Heat", "Top Gun" and "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" are performances for the history books. Those movies were blessed by his presence.

positive · AI labelView post →Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is my favorite Kilmer movie, but please also know that if Batman Forever has no defenders, it means I'm dead.
positive · AI labelView post →I think it says a lot of his work that if I was asked to recommend a Val Kilmer movie, I couldn't narrow it down to one. Tombstone? Willow? Heat? Top Secret? Kiss Kiss Bang Bang? The Doors? The Prince of Egypt? So many iconic roles.
neutral · AI labelView post →Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is a PERFECT MOVIE
positive · AI labelView post →Rest In Peace, Val Kilmer. As great as he was in dramatic roles, some of my favorite performances of his were in hilarious comedies like “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”, “MacGruber” and one of my favorite ‘80s movies “Real Genius”. youtu.be/XPEWBEa8pqg?si… via @YouTube

(which is an under appreciated spoof movie). And I'll always think of him as that dashing rogue: Madmartigan from Willow. Rest in peace good sir.
