He’s always Chris Knight to me. Still one of my most quoted films.

Same-probably my first exposure to the idea that you could be smart and fun and that not everything social had to revolve around small town sports, drinking beer at the bank parking lot and making out in the bed of a pick-up trucks in some pasture.

He should have won Best Actor.  Amazing performance.

I remember reading an article where Ray said some times it freaked him out how much he was like Jim.

Thought Val captured Morrison better than Rami did Freddy.

Tom Cruise made sure Val had the opportunity to have Iceman be a lasting memory for us.

So I do appreciate that:


“In 2021 the film's producer Jerry Bruckheimer told People that it was a necessity for Cruise, sharing: "He said, 'We have to have Val, we have to have him back. We have to have him in the film.'

And he was the driving force. We all wanted him, but Tom was really adamant that if he's going to make another Top Gun, Val had to be in it."

I sure as hell didn't expect to get hit in my feels during the fucking Top Gun sequel.  The guy delivered in everything he was in.

RIP Iceman.

i just started rewatching Entourage with my wife, who has never seen it.  just last week, we watched the episode where Val Kilmer was a sherpa who was the only dude in LA that had weed.  helped Vince land the lead in Queens Boulevard. good to see Kevin Dillon and Val reunited from The Doors.

RIP

Nick Rivers again. One note actor.

Kidding.

 

This one sucks. I discovered Top Secret before Airplane and thought it was the most hilarious movie ever written. I'll probably watch that with my boys this weekend.

As others have said, tons of great roles including many deserving of industry awards. The Saint. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Fucking Tombstone...suddenly need to re-watch a bunch of films.

And just really fucking cool -- and a little eerie -- that he was in Top Gun 2 and given a funeral and memorial in that - I assume his final on screen performance.

I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said,

“... I drank what?”

The Doors, Heat, and Tombstone were iconic roles for me. RIP Iceman 😞

RIP Gay Perry

His later work, highly recommend:

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Spartan
Wonderland (as Jon Holmes)

But seeing Top Secret and Real Genius for the first time in movie theaters was a treat and as a kid blew me away.

Thought his performance in Wonderland was stellar and went unappreciated by the Academy Award system.

I agree, but also want to mention that Rami Malek was awful as FM and Bohemian Rhapsody is a complete POS movie. 

RIP, Val.

Just pointing out that Rami won Best Actor while Val was ignored.  I wonder why?  Thought the band sold out just so they could make more money which is kinda pathetic considering they were already multimillionaires.

Counterpoint

The hollywood remastered songs on the film sound better than the albums ever did.

I know Tom Cruise get's shit on for his fake religion and craziness...but he always gets my money cause his films are amazing and you can tell he really loves to make movies and most the actors he's working with.

He'll he still keeps employing Ving Rhames in every single MI movie when they could have obviously moved on by now.

 

I LOVE that he basically rail roaded Val into this movie.

I loved him in The Saint. I know it’s not one of his highest rated movies but I enjoyed it.  And he was perfect as Jim Morrison. 

Another very underrated performance.

But My fave is Willow...that's the one that made him amazing to me.

Heat was a killer one as well...

But Doc Holliday was transcendent.  We still talk about it today. 30+ years later.

Got to Big Sky yesterday. Lots of huckleberry everywhere and in everything around here. 

Enjoy some huckleberry pancakes, some huckleberry jam, and some huckleberry chocolate bars.
