Val Kilmer, star of Top Gun and The Doors, dies aged 65
- Philadelphia 2y agoAlso star of Real Genius
- Svip 2y agoI mean, I would probably have highlighted his starring in Top Secret! first, considering it was his break-out role, and he is excellent in that film. And also that Top Secret! is an excellent film, that too few people have seen.
- squarefoot 2y agoWatched it as it was just released back then and loved it, a lot more than Airplane and other similar comedies.
- ReptileMan 2y agoI think that his best role was Doc Holiday in Tombstone. He was the embodiment of the flawed wild west gunslinger.
- tmountain 2y agoI watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang recently and really appreciated his performance in that movie. He’s one of the original “indie stars” of my generation. Sorry to see him go.
- a-french-anon 2y agoNever seen any of those, I'd have mentioned Heat instead.

- mkl 2y agoI highly recommend his autobiographical documentary Val (2021). I also recommend the absurd comedy Top Secret! (1984), his first movie.
- evrflx 2y agoI wonder why „The Saint“ is not mentioned. Loved the movie and the different characters played by val kilmer.
- hans_castorp 2y agoThat's also my favorite Val Kilmer movie
- qingcharles 2y agoLoved this movie. Has one of my all time favorite songs in it, Polaroid Millennium, and features a Nokia 9000 joke. What's not to love?

- p0w3n3d 2y agoI wonder what does this sentence mean Kilmer took part in Suzuki Method training
- PeterWhittaker 2y agoThe Suzuki Method of violin training, perhaps: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_method https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_method
- p0w3n3d 1y agoThat's what I was suspecting, however couldn't connect the dots. Also I found a contradictory information: https://www.reddit.com/r/UtterlyUniquePhotos/comments/1jr8tm6/val_kilmer_training_in_a_suzuki_method_class_at/?rdt=57452 https://www.reddit.com/r/UtterlyUniquePhotos/comments/1jr8tm... It seems that there is another Suzuki who created method of learning of acting
