This scene and the “hell I got lots of friends” moment.

Val Kilmer titled a memoir "I'm Your Huckleberry", and has confirmed it was huckleberry and was meant to be huckleberry in interviews.
WizardOfAahs@reddit
I’ll be your huckleberry…
Cautious-Ease-1451@reddit
Val Kilmer in Tombstone was like Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. An actor who transformed the movie by operating on a transcendent level.
iamsolow1@reddit
This is the way.
Joescamel@reddit
The item is most probably a 🔫.
Tracy_Williamm@reddit

As far as I can tell, Val Kilmer is the real Doc Holliday and the historic Doc Holliday is just a story.

CaterpillarUnfair409@reddit
It's In my top 10! Such a great story and the only time other than tombstone I enjoyed his acting
Friscogooner@reddit
One of those films that just stays in your mind forever. The scene with the 2 girls arranging the sock drawer...
jibbitsjunior@reddit
The interactions with Pooh Bear, and the scene at the Hotel and a harpoon gun. “I do not mean to impose, but I am the Ocean”
ImmiLitigation@reddit
The two supporting actors absolutely dominated Tombstone. Kilmer and Johnny Ringo just outshined everyone else. It was almost like I was annoyed when Kurt Russel and Wild Bill we’re on camera

Horny4theEnvironment@reddit
As an 8 year old kid my dad would watch the SHIT out of this on VHS, I still remember this movie because of Val Kilmer. I kept thinking, why is he so sweaty yet cool all the time? Had a lasting impression.
According-Hat-5393@reddit
I heard he was consuming gunpowder during this role to give himself that sweaty, pale, sallow complexion - - not sure as to the veracity though. One of THE BEST character portrayals of ALL TIME though!!!
Altruistic-Text3481@reddit
I’m your huckleberry!
Kooky-McKookface-329@reddit
After the movie I thought he really must have consumption.
heffel77@reddit

He did an outstanding job in that role
mpcollins64@reddit
"My dear, you're not wearing a bustle. How leud."
mpcollins64@reddit
Most definitely.
Thisfugginguyhere@reddit
Watched it today, it was good but they over applied the palour and sweat to a shocking degree. His performance made it less noticeable but it's a lot. I mean he looked like he was certainly sick, but also just out of a steamy shower for the whole film.
Spiritual-Can2604@reddit
Tell me you’ve never had a fever in Arizona without telling me. Lol. For real tho, it’s hot there, when you’re sick you get real clammy, real fast and that’s when you’re wearing a t shirt and shorts. Those guys were wearing many many layers of thick, hot wool, hats, boots, etc. also people didn’t bathe all that much. Holiday partied and played cards for days on end, he also did drugs and drank like a fish. It’s really not a stretch to imagine he would’ve looked pretty shitty all the time.

crucis119@reddit
He so thoroughly disappeared into this role that when my husband and I watched this for the first time recently, he didn't believe it was the same guy from Top Gun at first.

Most quotable means it ends up being the most memorable.

I don't remember anything about this movie other than that I read two entire biographies about Doc Holliday because of it.

That and his delivery of “That is a hell of a thing for you to say to me” kill me every time. The hurt/anger in his eyes over the suggestion that Wyatt’s fight isn’t also HIS fault simply by default of friendship is something I think about regularly.

FlowJock@reddit
As a young girl, I can say that this was the only "nerd" movie that I felt comfortable watching because the goal of the nerds wasn't to just look at naked ladies. It was about being smart. And there was a smart girl in it who wasn't just a sex object.
Yes, there was the whole beauty school party scene, but it wasn't the central plot of the movie.
Also, the Asian character was just a guy. He wasn't the butt of jokes.
People don't talk about it often, but it was probably one of the most progressive movies of its time. And it managed to do so without being even remotely preachy about it.
I would love to see a remake and would change very little.
Tardisgoesfast@reddit
Nonononono! Not a remake. No way the cast wouldn’t suck by comparison.

Confident-Ad-5858@reddit
I agree with everything but the remake. This is perfection. Don't mess with it please.
4URprogesterone@reddit
Yeah, this movie never gets talked about with the other nerd movies, which is weird.
Chickwithknives@reddit
And Jordan obviously was a woman with ADHD long before they decided women and girls could have it!

I remember renting the VHS of Top Secret sometime in the mid-late 90’s and feeling shock that a movie so perfectly suited to my sense of humor had evaded my radar so long.
LostBetsRed@reddit
I once had the privilege of introducing a millennial to Airplane! She laughed hysterically and at one point wondered why they didn't make movies that'l genius anymore. I was extremely proud of my generation's sense of humor.
Four-Triangles@reddit
My partner had never seen The Naked Gun and so we checked that out recently and it was a hit.
LostBetsRed@reddit
Yeah, but I can't watch The Naked Gun these days without thinking, "OJ, how could you?"
If you like it The Naked Gun, It's well worth the effort to find a copy of the TV series It was based on, Police Squad. Only ran for six episodes, but they're gold.
Hot Shots! is an underrated gem of the same genre, featuring Charlie Sheen doing his best Tom Cruise.

Definitely a Top Secret reference as u/3-orange-whips (by the way, I LOVE the name) said, but you're not wrong -- Judge Harry Stone was a huge Mel Torme fan. I think they even got him to make a guest appearance on the show once.

Single-Award2463@reddit
Thats not the truth. Its huckberry. The subtitles on the movie say Huckberry. The script says Huckleberry. Kilmer has said before it’s Huckberry. And he also named his memoir “I’m your Huckberry.
I don’t know why this rumour has been so persistent when it’s been debunked through so many different ways.

Because for every person who debunks it, there are three others out there bunking it again.

He was both. But, he was also a victim of his own circumstances.

Absolutely correct. Too many people view Blazing Saddles as a racist movie, but the jokes are against the ignorance of the white people. The language is coarse, and could never be made now, but it was intentional to make it blatantly obvious how ridiculous racism is.
“You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.”

Why do you call Tombstone a mess? I loved that movie and watched it many many times.
AngryScientist@reddit
Most of the characters are one-dimensional and the writing is cheesy. The pacing feels like they ran out out money - it spends half the film setting up the war between the Earps and the Cowboys just to resolve most of it through a montage. It's absolutely a mess, and if it weren't for Val Kilmer's performance it would have likely been forgotten altogether.
alien_survivor@reddit
i was pretty young and didnt really disect the film. thank you for your insight!
AngryScientist@reddit
Same. I only know how rough it is because I tried to watch it this year.
quasifun@reddit
yes, exactly. There have been several films about the OK Corral, and this was the least exciting version of it. Kurt Russell is a good actor in the right role, but his character was not interesting in this film, and he's the main protagonist. His love story was boring.
It was a troubled production and the original scriptwriter/director was fired midway. Depending on who you ask, the replacement director either didn't understand the script or was just hired to be a ghost director so Kurt Russell could actually direct.
Val Kilmer is fantastic, he really created a totally unique interpretation of the historic Doc Holliday. It's everything else that doesn't work.
alien_survivor@reddit
thank you for replying,. Looks like I need to look at some moveies with a more critical eye.
ladder_case@reddit
It's perfect for YouTube clips, though. Relive the good parts, argue with the guy in the comments who thinks he said "hucklebearer," move on.
op_is_not_available@reddit
Tombstone a mess? There were parts that felt really rushed (especially that montage sequence) but overall I thought it was so much fun and I think THAT movie is Val’s best performance. I looooove The Doors movie especially for Val’s performance but I knocked off a few points because a lot of it was fabricated for the movie and Ray Manzarek HATED it for making Jim look like a piece of shit. That being said I’d put The Doors on the same level as Tombstone - amazing.
quasifun@reddit
Val Kilmer is the lead in The Doors, and he's a supporting character in Tombstone. The lead in Tombstone is Kurt Russell, who is good in the right part, but not in a superficial role like this. The production shut down when the original writer/director was fired, and some subplots were removed by Kurt Russell who became the unofficial director.
I feel like without Doc Holliday, there's not much in Tombstone other than a completely generic Western with mostly boring or unlikable characters. But I know the film has many fans, maybe I am just being too critical.

I was an extra in that movie in the 1969 Miami concert scene where Jim Morrison exposed himself supposedly, and Val kilmer was being a horrible method. Actor and the shoot took hours and hours and hours because Val kilmer was acting like Jim Morrison and screwing up everything. It was really annoying. But I still love him.
Timely-Youth-9074@reddit
I was an extra in that movie, too, but in Not to Touch The Earth concert scene.
Val Kilmer jumped off the stage and landed on me.
The only part of the scene they used was a clip of Val jumping off the stage.
Also, my friends were the naked hippies dancing around the bonfire. Good times.
ahydell@reddit
Seriously, we sat in that hot smoke filled theater for EIGHTEEN HOURS and I think maybe one minute is in the movie and only like 1/4 of the songs we shot was used, it's nuts. I empathize with you. Was the shot of Val jumping on you spliced into my concert? We had a stunt double stage diving in our concert, and then Kilmer popped up on the floor for the conga line to Break on Through.
Timely-Youth-9074@reddit
Did you film at the Haight?
I remember there were indoor shoots in SF.
We were outdoors overnight in some property of EBMUD’s. We were bused in and I don’t know exactly where we were.
They shot the scene many times. There was one point where VK got a weird look on his face and dived right at me. Method acting? Most likely planned but it looked spontaneous.
I was dressed in an old dress of my mother’s.
A fabulous gold paisley dropped waist pleated mini dress. The more authentic looking folks got to be up front so I got to be right up at the stage. Thanks, Mom!
ahydell@reddit
No, our shoot was at the Olympic Auditorium in DTLA. We started shooting at 6am and finished around midnight. I was also in period clothes that looked like a weird hippie so I was allowed up front too.

ahydell@reddit
OMG and first, the guy doing Eve of Destruction pretending to be Barry McGuire kept not doing it to Stone's liking, so we had to hear that about 12 times. Then they did The Doors doing Five to One and holy shit, Kilmer was fucking up EVERY SINGLE TAKE and it was so obvious that it was method acting, because Val Kilmer is SO NOT LIKE THAT right? And I had to hear Five to One about 35 times and I never want to hear that song again. And after that (about 10 hours total) we still had to do Touch Me (which was where the supposed indecent exposure happened) and the last shoot of the day was Break on Through with the stage dive and the conga line and it was the stunt double for the stage dive but then Kilmer again for the conga line. I was dancing right behind the giant Indian dude in the conga line and had NO IDEA how central he was to the story, so that's when you can see me for a second.
That shoot was a total trip, definitely the most interesting of film shoots I went to. I did get to be in 18 Again and meet George Burns, that was really fucking cool. And we met Billy Crystal at the premier and we accidentally stole Scott Bakula's seat in the theater.
BetMyLastKrispyKreme@reddit
This is fascinating. 🍿
ahydell@reddit
It was really interesting, I was 16 and it was at the Olympic Auditorium in DTLA and at the time it was condemned and so it was really shabby and not open and the place was maybe 1/4 full and I swear people were planted to pass out joints because EVERYONE hotboxed the entire theater and I got the highest I'd ever been at that point and I met Oliver Stone and talked to him about the Kennedy assassination and it was all around a great experience even though it took like 18 hours and they gave us frozen sandwiches and it was swelteringly hot in the theater, I loved it. It was super easy to get into movies as extras in LA, I did it a few times. I grew up in LA.

Classy_Affair@reddit
Did he show dong? Or did the method acting take a backstage at that moment?
ahydell@reddit
No, he simulated oral sex on the guy playing Robbie Krieger.
THe method acting was acting like he was high and drunk and fucking up his lines and doi9ng a ton og obnoxious bullshit that I could see even Oliver Stone was fed up with. During a long break they had while they were getting ready for the stunt double to fall into the audience (to do the conga line, I can be seen briefly in the conga line on the floor) I got to talk to Oliver Stone for a few minutes. I was 16 and obsessed with the Kennedy assassination and I had read like in EW that he was making a movie about it and I asked him and we talked about it for like 5 minutes, it was awesome.

re_gren@reddit
I don't disagree with you, but as someone who isn't a Doors fan, I always thought he was more known for his lyricism. I always thought of him as more of a poet fronting a rock band
Sgt-Bilko1975@reddit
I think that's how he likened himself also but became what is arguably the prototype for a rock and roll frontman.

Same I suck at singing!!! But love me some Doors. There was a song I picked though, maybe Riders on the Storm? Can’t remember which song it was in actuality, but it had such a long bridge that I forgot about so I was just standing on stage awkwardly hoeing for the sing to just end lol…

Supposedly, he gave an auction tape to oliver stone with The Doors music on it and told him/them to figure out which were The Doors/Jim singing or which had Val singing the songs.

But…I was 12 and my dad was Navy, and we lived on a Navy base when that came out. So that movie was everything for me at that time.
GrayMouser12@reddit
Top Gun is my first, base instinct. My Dad was in the Air National Guard, and I was obsessed with fighter jets. I used to watch Top Gun repeatedly on my beat-up VHS tape. I'd always sing "Danger Zone" while riding my Huffy White Heat bike with my friend around the neighborhood, imagining we were F-14 Tomcats. But it's definitely Val as Doc Holliday when I want to think of him, though Madmartigan is up there.

During the entire production of that film, he wore a silicone reproduction of Jim Morrison's penis that was made from an actual plaster mold of Morrison's member.

I think of Top Gun followed by Top Secret first but how can The Doors not be on the list? He basically was Morrison.
plasticrat@reddit
Yes, this one.
DrEnter@reddit
I don't think of The Doors with Val Kilmer automatically, because he disappeared so completely in that role he just became Jim Morrison in my mind. When I think of associations of actors with the movie, I think of Meg Ryan or Kyle MacLachlan or Crispon Glover.
For Val Kilmer, I think the first thing that pops into my head is Top Secret. Not his best performance or anything, it's just the first association I make.

And he morphed his Morrison character into Wonderland which morphed into The Salton Sea. but that all lives within The Doors file.

I mean, the only reason I can think this wasn’t included in the list was because this is the obvious answer. The title should’ve read, “Aside from the Doors….” This is like excluding the terminator from a list of Arnold Schwarzenegger movies.

I_love_Juneau@reddit

kitaurio@reddit
saaaaaame! maybe it's also a dash of nostalgia for me, but I really love the campyness and the general feel of the movie. Also I agree with a fellow commenter in that Kilmer felt more like the Bruce/Batman combo than the others. (Michael Keaton is next for me) The others seemed to only enliven one half of this character but not the other (imo).
Besides, he was the sexiest Bruce Wayne imo 😁
OshetDeadagain@reddit
Right? It. Went back to a much more campy, comic book style. I loved how Bruce Wayne/Batman was still angsty and brooding, but had a wry sense of humour that just rolled with the absurdity going on around him.
My biggest complaint was how Batman reminded Two-Face to use his coin so he could throw a bunch and mess him up. It was such an important thing for Two-Face, but at the climax of the movie it felt more like a line prompt - "uhh, coin? Remember your coin?" "Right, yes! Flip the coin, then monologue!"
Milocobo@reddit
Honestly, my favorite theory is that Batman Forever/Batman and Robin were feature films that aired in theaters inside of the Keaton Batman universe. So basically, the "irl" Batman is Keaton, and someone in that universe was like "Batman is cool, let's make a movie of it". And then they ended up making Batman Forever, and recast Batman for the second one.
StanleyCubone@reddit
This is fantastic and should be a more known and accepted theory.
Dadscope@reddit
It's my vote for the best comic book feel, it took itself just serious enough but still felt like a comic/cartoon.

Not as good as the Burton movies, certainly far better than Batman and Robin though. I think I actually fell asleep in the movie theater for that one!
zorkzamboni@reddit
Batman Forever actually isn't even that bad. Like, it's not as good as Burton's films and it's obviously more wacky and absurdist than Nolan's films but it's pretty entertaining and makes sense as a comic book movie. I think it just gets lumped in with the other Schumacher film, Batman and Robin, which is hilariously bad and retroactively ruined Batman Forever.
maxman162@reddit
The worst movie I've ever seen, 40 times.
happybuffalowing@reddit
I actually love Batman Forever and a large reason why is his performance. If you can ignore the corny/campy aspects of the movie, you’ll see Kilmer’s performance as Batman (and the movies portrayal of Batman in general) is actually quite impressive. He’s definitely not the best Batman but he sure as shit isn’t the worst, either.
electricconcha@reddit
Nipplesuits is how I envisioned Bruce too. Giggidy.
elspotto@reddit
Joel Schumacher took the kitschy 1966-esque Tim Burton Batman movies (not saying they were great cinema, just that I love the 1966 series and saw the similarities) and couldn’t carry it forward. It’s a shame, as I also appreciated Val Kilmer and Michael Keaton in the role.

There you are. At last I found my people. We're a ways down the page but that's understandable.
It's not his best work. Maybe not even top three. Okay definitely not top three.
But it's fucking BATMAN; the most iconic character in all of fiction.
Of all his films it's definitely the one I've watched the most just because Batman is such a massive part of my life.
I admit bias, but the question was what you think of, not what you judge to be greatest or even most relevant.
Everyone I know besides my mother and a few really old friends call me Batman.

Collateral had some really excellent gun fights. As did the Miami Vice movie. All three were directed by Michael Mann. The gun fighting does look a little dated by contemporary standards and of course take significant liberties for entertainment purposes, but they were largely true to the popular best practices of the time.
Of the three I would say Heat is the clear stand out, but that's not to say that the other two aren't enjoyable and have their merits.

styckywycket@reddit
My "I am not a crackpot" claim is that if that movie had to be remade, Tom Hiddleston should be cast as Colonel John Henry Patterson. I don't know who I'd cast as Charles Remington, though.
horsenbuggy@reddit
Funny thing, Val's character was real. The hunter character was not, so he's not needed in any remake.

Some of the characters were of course dramatized for film, but the facts about the lions and the dozens and dozens of humans killed and the many times the hunters tried to capture/kill them are all true!

Partner and I are due a baby girl this week. Kaiya was front runner name for a good while... and his youngest daughter is called Willow so we eventually decided against Kaiya so as not to be those people. Elora was also a very big hit here, which I think we could get away with. Except my youngest is Ella and we figured the possibility of 2 Ella's would be too much. Bump has the pet name of Burglekutt.

I feel like this is a pretty universal thing, but when I was young I would associate every actor with the first thing I knew them from, until something came around I liked them better in, or until I eventually got older and just remembered their names.

Maleficent-Log4089@reddit
I whole heartedly agree. That being said I am quite sure they never show his face in the movie. What scene is that picture from?
ClarenceWorley47@reddit
It is an outtake, they show his face very briefly in the mirror in that scene but even if you’re looking for him, you can’t tell… except the voice… “Are you haunted? You wanna get un-haunted?”
Maleficent-Log4089@reddit
Says the man himself! What a username!
cityfireguy@reddit
You're right. The pic is probably an outtake or behind the scene photo.
It's me favorite movie. But it's the last movie anyone remembers Val Kilmer in.

Val Kilmer is one of those actors who could play any character and you believed him. Unlike other actors who are always themselves in different scripts. For example, Nicolas Cage is always Nicolas Cage. Kilmer has remarkable depth. So sorry he will be unable to continue his career. He has always been my favorite actor.

Kylearean@reddit
Heat.
The documentary about Val Kilmer, simply entitled "Val" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val_(film)) is worth a watch for those of you who appreciated him. Really insightful.
Slightly more meta -- acting seems to be an awful profession to get into unless you can be the absolute best of the best, and there's no formula for that.
Even guys like Brendan Fraser, who was always much beloved, struggled through most of his career. A lot of extremely well known actors who were in big budget films had bad agents and got royally screwed out of what they could've made from the films. I feel like Val was one of those guys in a lot of his films.

I’m gen Z (barely) but I saw Val Kilmer mentioned and feel obligated to invade your space and defend his honor.
For any decent person it’s Tombstone first, a HUGE gap, then Heat and Top Gun in either order very close together as 2 and 3.
Doc Holiday is one of the most iconic roles in the world, he absolutely stole every scene he was in. At least where I was from in rural south we were raised by our Gen X parents on Tombstone being the greatest movie ever made and for almost all of us Doc Holiday was the absolute coolest character ever, somehow he’s still just as cool in adulthood too. I think every time I went and stayed with any of my cousins we ended up stuck watching hours of absolutely awful old as hell spaghetti westerns my uncles would have on praying Tombstone would come on or something John Wayne/Clint Eastwood haha.

I treasured that movie as a kid. It was like a warm blanket. I still get goosebumps watching him be the unlikely hero.
In my darkest times I often thought about how he started out as a prisoner left to die and rot in a cage and emerged the perfect hero. That movie meant something to me. I emulated his cavalier approach to danger later in life and made it through some pretty horrible dangers.
Every time I see it or even think about it I want to give him a hug. His performance in that film did so much for me as boy, I worry now as a man that he may not know what an impact he had on kids. I fear he’ll never grasp the confidence I gained just watching Madmartigan slip and fall and get back up and never doubt himself. He was hated and looked down on and in the end his good heart won out and he became more than who he was.
I owe a great debt to him. I could feel all alone and without hope and watch that movie and be ready to face the day.
He played perfectly against Warwick Davis and the parallels in their journey and growth as heroes and friends was presented so well. When I complain now about the lack of movies with a good hero’s journey it’s because the bar was set so incredibly high for me as a 6 year old that nothing could hope to match it.
I love Madmartigan because Val Kilmer absolutely embodied everything he needed to be for a lonely 6 year old who felt like nothing was ever gonna be ok.

Batman. People say that he was the worst Batman, but I like how he did the role.
George Clooney is the worst Batman. He was mad that the studio wouldn't let him out of his contract with them, so he put out zero effort to make the role work. The movie he was in didn't suck. He sucked as Batman. Here is someone who could have elevated his cred as an actor by taking on a role that he hated,and he chose to be a baby about it.

…Batman Forever.
Now LOOK, I KNOW that this movie was a harbinger of Batman and Robin, and that Joel Schumacher nearly ended comic book movies singlehanded, but Val Kilmer was the total package in that role, playing off Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey, both of whom gave it their all in spite of Carrey’s unsanctioned buffoonery, like the three of them together nailed the simultaneous camp and dark atmosphere. I wish we’d gotten more Kilmer Batman movies.

Tombstone. Not even close. "I'm your huckleberry." Although it was meant to be "I'm your huckle bearer." Back in the day the casket handles were called huckles. So people carrying a casket were, "Huckle bearers." Doc was essentially telling the dude, I'll carry you to the other side. Badass!

Of the six movies here, I'll sit down and watch The Saint no matter which part it currently is displaying (well, except end credits duh). My younger self had a thing for Elizabeth Shoe and Val was good also. However, Tombstone is the obvious choice. He does have a good place as the anti hero in Top Gun, but is quite overshadowed by Cruise, Edwards, and McGillis.

I'm your huckleberry...
Master-Jump-544@reddit
A huckle bearer is a pallbearer who carries the handle, or "huckle", of a coffin or casket during a funeral. The term "huckle" was used to refer to the handle of a casket in the early 1800s. The phrase "I'm your huckleberry" was popular in the 1800s and meant "I'm your guy", "I'm the one", or "I'm the most qualified for the job". In the 1993 movie Tombstone, Val Kilmer says the line "I'm your huckleberry". However, some say that the line is actually "I'm your huckle bearer". According to Val Kilmer, the line is "huckleberry" and is written that way in the script.

One_City4138@reddit
When l got to meet Mr Kilmer, l gave him a set of coasters from my favorite works of his: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Batman, Top Gun, and The Doors. I also gave him a personalized autographed copy of a book an aquaintance of mine wrote, specifically because she was inspired by his performance in Tombstone (Doc by Mary Doria Russell, if it does ya). He put his thumb in his stoma so he could vocally thank me, and l honestly consider that to be one of the greatest honors of my career.

Tombstone even though it's definitely Western fiction. Ringo for example was extremely drunk and he was not shot in a stand-up gunfight he was shot while he slept by buckskin Frank Leslie. Doc Holliday was known to be 700 miles away the day before and you cannot get 700 miles in one day by any method during the wild West Wyatt Earp was even further away and anyway Billy breckinridge came upon Johnny Ringo on the trail so drunk he had his cartridge belt upside down. He tried to get Ringo to come home with him because he was so drunk and Ringo was drunk and stubborn he did offer Breckenridge some whiskey Breckenridge said the bottle was so hot it burned his mouth about a mile down the trail he ran into buckskin Frank Leslie who admitted he was looking for Ringo. He told Breckenridge he wanted to apologize to Ringo but Breckenridge did not believe him. Ringo had embarrassed and humiliated buckskin earlier in the day by making him back down in a saloon with a bunch of people. They were drinking together as friends and somehow they got into an argument. So Breckenridge did not say that he saw Ringo but Breckenridge doesn't believe that buckskin Frank Leslie killed Ringo either. He believes Ringo committed suicide. Either way it's impossible for doc Holliday to have been involved and even more impossible for the Wyatt Earp to be involved and if they wanted to be involved as the newspapers themselves stated Ringo had threatened Wyatt earp, doc Holliday and all his cutthroats lives on at least two different occasions after the okay corral. So if you were anxious to have a fight with Ringo he gave him multiple chances.

I think it’s one of his best roles! I feel like a lot of his roles kind of centered around how pretty he was. In Comanche Moon he had lost his good looks, and was kind of bloated and gross looking which somehow added to his performance to me. Maybe he couldn’t use his looks as some kind of crutch, I don’t know. I don’t know why I liked it so much

Top Secret was when I was introduced to his goofiness, Real Genius was when I first appreciated his acting chops; Top Gun was when I realized he could be a bad ass; Tombstone was when I appreciated his ability to really get into a character, The Saint was when I realized I like him better than Tom Cruise in an action film; I haven't seen True Romance but Wonderland and Salton Sea are where I appreciated his edginess.

I HIGHLY recommend watching Kiss Kiss Bang Bang if you haven’t seen it. Val Kilmer is Gay Perry, Robert Downey Jr in what one of his first major roles after getting sober. It’s a really fun film.

I always found it ironic that Jim Morrison’s father, George Stephen Morrison, was a United States Navy Rear Admiral and Naval Aviator.
And Val Kilmer nailed Jim Morrison in the Doors (performing all of the songs).
— had a friend/colleague named Jim (a young Naval Aviator) that was paired up with RADM Morrison for a golf event at Miramar with RADM Morrison.
The RADM made a comment about having a son named Jim. This met with silence after the realization …

You make the kill, but your pain doesn't die with Harvey, it grows. So you run out into the night to find another face, and another, and another, until one terrible morning you wake up and realize that revenge has become your whole life. And you won't know why.

Ok-Push9899@reddit
One thing about Val Kilmer is that he really owns "Val" as a first name. You don't even question that it could be a first name. It's like Cameron Diaz. I had never heard of Cameron as a girl's name until Cameron Diaz came along, but since then, i've never stopped to think "Why has she got a boy's name?".
Only other Val I can think of is Irish crooner Val Doonican. But he was born Michael Valentine Doonican. Val Kilmer was born a Val.

Also, checkout his account u/OfficialValKilmer to get some really wonderful insights straight out of the man himself. Back when celeb AMAs were authentic peeks into their lives.
My favorite is when Val met Michael Jackson at the height of Thriller. He said he's only met 3 superstars at that point, but out of nowhere MJ locked eyes with him and started approaching him. It turns MJ was about to greet Cher, Val's gf at the time and one of those 3 superstars he's met so far.

The movie is…not great, but there is a behind the scenes documentary called Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley’s The Island of Dr. Moreau that is far better and more interesting than the movie itself. Highly recommend that for anyone who remembers that weird movie that had Fairuza Balk as a catgirl.

I was a huge fan of his growing up and enjoyed many of his characters. That said, there really is no contest, it’s Tombstone. It had a great cast, but that movie wouldn’t be half as good without him. He stole every single scene he was in, which considering the company he had, is impressive.

Later now in college, I watched Heat and Top Gun, and the latter one was a nice movie date for my partner and me 😊

It will always be Real Genius because that's the first time I saw him in a movie and its comedy gold - I don't even know how many times I've watched it over the years, easily over 100 times for sure
He's had some great roles though - one that gets overlooked was a Man who broke 1000 chains - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093485/ maybe because it was a made for TV movie and as far as I know, not on any streaming service or dvd/bluray - great drama though
