Please recommend a Val Kilmer movie!
What would be good to rent with him? We are watching Tombstone now and I love Braveheart. Tell me more that are worth watching!

24. I second that
He was awesome as Doc Holliday, and made it one of the few westerns I actually like.

2. I liked him in "Top Gun"
Edited on Mon May-09-05 07:42 PM by Godlesscommieprevert
Also "Real Science", and wasn't he a Batman once?

Doh, that was "Real Genius".

3. How About The Saint?
He is great in that. Wonderland is a little sick, but he of course is great in it!

That's a great film if you like the grit and blood!

30. me too.
I love that movie. I want to be that smart. Or know someone that smart. Or win all of those prizes. Or at least go to a pool party inside a university building with all the hot chicks. Or ice skate in my dorm hallway.

10. I mean, it's not like
all Val all the time, but it's an excellent movie anyway. Plus, there's some Val (if you're into that kinda thing. ;)).

34. Definitely Willow! He was tolerable in Masked & Anonymous, too, though
it's not everyone's cup of tea and he's in it for about 37 seconds.

31. I agree -- Salton Sea!!
This is a pretty good movie. Val is great in it and you get a good look at what it is like to be addicted to meth.

9. Top Secret.
Hilarious spoof of old war movies along the lines of Airplane.

44. Top Secret was made by the same guys who did Airplane...
Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker... it was in fact their next film directly after Airplane...
Same guys who made the Hot Shots & Naked Gun series later on...
Which explains the extreme silliness of Top Secret, probably my fave of all their films...

They all branched off and do different stuff now...
One of 'em did Ghost w/Demi Moore and Patrick Whatsisname...

13. that one about Jim Morrison
Can't remember the name of it. It was an Oliver Stone flick, I thought it was pretty good.

20. Wonderland--heard good reviews but it's awful grisly.
It's about John Holmes (the porn star, who Val plays) and the Wonderland murders.

25. Batman Forever
Edited on Mon May-09-05 08:06 PM by HypnoToad
!

Easily the best Bruce Wayne. Passable as Batman.

A bit more campy; but this one is the only unique and balanced mix of 60s camp plus 1989 revamp style.

Oh, Michael Gough as Alfred has his biggest and best role in this one too.
