No one has mentioned The Salton Sea.
This dude made movies so good.
Tombstone Batman Top gun The saint Prince of Egypt Red planet
Shame his career was cut short. I assume he lost his speech because God needed it after watching Prince of Egypt.
SIR/MADAM! I call foul! Most foul!
Your list is horribly disingenuous, due to the absence of Val Kilmer’s greatest movie:
Ah hell no.
Real Genius. That’s where it’s at
One of my favorites. I own that film. He died way to young.
I watched that one much later in life but it was in fact good.
It is a cinematic triumph. Peter Cushing himself called it his greatest role! Well, he might have said that.
Fun fact that I actually just learned today. The cast made from Mr Cushing’s face for his scene in Top Secret was used by the SFX wizards working on Rogue One to digitally recreate the actor for the movie.
Imagine that, a casting for a prosthetic made over 40 years ago was used to recreate the image of Peter Cushing so that he could appear as Grand Moff Tarkin again.
Have to admit, that rather stunned me when I read it.

They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
In the end it was really creepy to have a dead person have so much screen time in a movie.
I have to agree with you.
Actors that have been “de-aged” or simulated just don’t quite cross the uncanny valley for me. I loved Tron Legacy, but the de-aging on Jeff Bridges was just off. So those scenes with CLU and in the past just drew me out of the film.
Wow
The greatest movie ever made in fact ☻ (IMO of course). I just watched it this morning after hearing the news. RIP Nick Rivers
Uhh, Heat???
One of my favorite movies of all time. The gun battle in the streets is an all-time great scene.
Im going to have to re-watch. I remember being so bored when I was a kid.
It’s a long movie, but so so so excellent
Top Secret! is a gem of a movie and I will be watching it tomorrow in his honour.
Okay, what’s the name of the movie? Yes, what’s the name of the movie. What movie? Top secret? Yes! What’s the name of the movie? That’s the name! The movie’s name is that? If you’re referring to the top secret, then yeah, that’s the name of the movie!
What fake doggy doo?
Telling that, as of now, most comments mention a different film of his. Kilmer was great in so many things! I’ll just add Kiss Kiss Bang Bang to the pile, RIP to a great actor
Open the dictionary and under the word idiot, what do you see?
A picture of me?
No! The definition of the word idiot! Which you are!
(done from memory, so likely not 100% accurate)
Heat.
I’ve read that he was a bit of a pain in the ass to work with, but I’ve always appreciated the results. So many great rolls. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is great, Tombstone, etc. I’ve not met too many people who mention The Salton Sea. That’s in my top 3 for his performances.
Second for KKBB. I love that movie. Always have. Also, bonus to Doc Holiday, as people say I look like him.
How has nobody mentioned Real Genius yet?
That was the first movie I saw him in. He defintely stole all of the scenes with his great acting chops.
RIP Mad Mardigan 🖤
Any day we lose a Batman is a bad day. RIP Iceman.
I shall honor him by going Skeet Surfin’ tomorrow.
If everybody had a 12 gauge
With a sufboard too
You see em shootin’ and surfin’
From here to Malibu
Thank you. Love this movie.
How has Willow not been mentioned? He was really good as a halfling!
But Kilmer didnt play a halfling
Shhhh! I’m trying to get people to watch it!
But it has Kilmer in it, that’s all you have to say
And Joanne Whalley (who was briefly married to Val Kilmer)
If Gary Oldman can play a little person, why can’t Val Kilmer play a halfling?
Because he’s dead!
That wouldn’t stop Gary Oldman!
Either just coincidence, or I may have found a GAM listener in the wild.
Does anyone else have a mandela effect about Val Kilmer being dead already? I feel like I have read about his death mutliple times over the past decade and then had a mandela effect that I thought he had already died, but then also when I heard any story about him I also have a mandela effect that I thought he was dead.
He was very sick for a bit and hid it for awhile so there was lots of talk about his health for a bit then he disappeared from the public eye for awhile because he was fighting cancer and recovering. He never rejoined the public eye to the degree he used to be. He was in Top Gun Maverick though which I remember being kind of a big deal because he hadn’t been in much for awhile and of course had had lots of trouble with speech following the cancer I believe.
No, but I knew he’s been pretty bad off for a long time
In the immortal words of Socrates, I drank what?
RIP Doc!
Still my favorite role for him.
Does any body know what movie this gif is from? Or the name of the actor so I can go through his filmography.
I’m looking for a movie my dad and I watched once a long time ago. I didn’t give the movie to much of a chance back then. Just liked the quality time. I think it had this actor in it. Id really like to find and rewatch it.
That’s Robert Redford in the film Jeremiah Johnson.
Thanks, didn’t recognize him with a beard.
No worry, I didn’t either until it was pointed out to me.
The movie is good, but it’s very possible that Jeremiah Johnson IRL was a murder hobo.
He’ll always be my Huckleberry.
Personally believed he carried that movie. Without him it would have been different to me.
I got a reply from him on Reddit once. Well, maybe his assistant, but whatever. What a bummer. Definitely thought is peak role was on Top Secret. Loved that film so much! Guess I’m going to have to go watch it again
Tombstone and kiss kiss bang bang are my favorites
His role as Gay Perry in Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang is underrated. He owned the role and outshone even the protagonist!
R.I.P. legend.
“Wyatt Earp is my friend.”
That scene always gets me, it’s one of the greatest in all cinema.
“hell I got lots of friends”
… “I don’t.”
God damn that scene gets me every time.
