The rest of his career is irrelevant. Hardly, if you saw “The Doors” He sang all the songs too and sounded just like Jim Morrison BudsOilers, NashvilleNinja, and chef 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rns90 Posted April 2, 2025 Report Share Posted April 2, 2025 Ugh. So many wonderful films from Val Kilmer. From the 80s stuff to when he hit the A list in the 90s to the underrated part of the 2000s where he was still cranking out great films . I’ll probably try to watch a movie from each decade. As much as I’d like to rewatch Willow, the crime buff in me will probably opt for Kill Me Again. The Salton Sea is a favorite . It won’t get mentioned by people because it’s kind of a “deep cut” film. Same thing with Spartan . He got fat afterwards. That Denzel Washington movie is a good example .

OILERMAN Posted April 2, 2025 Report Share Posted April 2, 2025 I watched a documentary on Kilmer a few months ago. Total idiot with his money, blew it all, mainly on a massive ranch in New Mexico. Then had to travel with B actors and make money signing autographs and was totally embarrassed about it BudsOilers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BudsOilers Posted April 2, 2025 Report Share Posted April 2, 2025 Kilmer really was a great actor - Doors, Tombstone, Heat.... Have not seen the Salton Sea but will watch now. Never saw Willow but looked it up and now know why.....looks incredibly dumb. No wonder @Jamalismsloves it. OILERMAN, and Jamalisms 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the need to extract revenge (honor among thieves ) that does it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scene at the end where Kilmer shows up through the checkpoint but she's under police surveillance was awesome. Gives him the no go sign and you see his smile fade and he drives off. rns90, and OILERMAN 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got that neon neo noir look that I love. Cruise doesn’t really challenge himself in roles but Collateral is one of his better ones. Weird thing about Heat is that it’s the first thing I associate with Tone Loc. not funky cold Medina or wild thing but he’s the guy that ratted out the Tom Sizemore character in Heat!
