  • Hands down my favorite Val Kilmer movie has always been Real Genius. It's not to be taken too seriously at all. It's a goofy comedy from the 80s about a couple of young geniuses that uncover a nefarious plan that they have unwittingly become…

  • Batman Forever

    Batman & Robin

    I'm not afraid to admit that Val Kilmer is my very favorite Batman. Am I biased because he's one of my all-time favorite actors? Maybe. Am I also biased because the villains in Batman Forever are two of my favorite Batman villains? Maybe. But hear…

  • Though he lends only his wonderful voice, Kilmer's performance in The Prince of Egypt is no less impressive. He voices the main character, Moses, in this powerful Dreamworks musical about one of the most amazing men and events in history. He also…

  • Tombstone is a heavy movie. The classic Western-style cowboys versus lawmen. It tackles tough topics and kills off main characters. But it's always been a favorite of mine, mostly due to Val Kilmer's iconic performance as Doc Holliday. The movie is…

  • It has been a very long time since I watched this film, but I remember watching it several years ago with my grandmother and enjoying it. I do remember that Kilmer and Douglas give fine performances as two hunters who become hunted when they seek a…

  • Comanche Moon is a mini-series based on the novel of the same name. Kilmer's performance is impressive but so is basically every other performance. The cast is filled with talent. Definitely worth a watch especially if you enjoy the Lonesome Dove…

  • Top Gun isn't one of my all-time favorite movies, but like most of the world, I do appreciate it. And while Val Kilmer doesn't play not the main character, his performance as Iceman is definitely iconic.
