Any day we lose a Batman is a bad day. RIP Iceman.
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.
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
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.
The greatest movie ever made in fact ☻ (IMO of course). I just watched it this morning after hearing the news. RIP Nick Rivers
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.
Wow
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
He’ll always be my Huckleberry.
Personally believed he carried that movie. Without him it would have been different to me.
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
Heat.
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)
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.
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?
The Saint will be missed.
Whew, thought i was gonna be the only weirdo that enjoyed that one.
“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.
Another one to throw into the mix of mentions here. The first Val Kilmer movie that I actually always think of is The Island of Dr. Moreau. A bit offbeat I suppose but one of my absolute favourite childhood movies and I rented the VHS on more than one occasion. Think I might need to rewatch now.
Did you know the original director was fired, made himself up like one of the abominations and lived out in the jungle stalking the production for a while?
I love that movie.
Haha I did not know but that is awesome. Makes the movie even better lol.
When the music’s over…
I hope he gets his sun god robes and thousands of women throw little pickles at him wherever he ends up.
No one has mentioned The Salton Sea.
RIP to one of the Batmen I grew up watching. I used to love going through my dad’s DVD collection and watching batman forever.
