Val Kilmer's autobiographical self made movie.

I've always been a huge fan of Val Kilmer. I know he can be a jerk, but his roles as Iceman and Doc Holiday are purely iconic. Top Secret is pure stupid greatness.

Anybody seen this yet?

I watched it late Saturday night and fell asleep before it was over so I need to finish. Good on him for documenting/filming so much of his life. Very interesting.

Top Secret is an all-timer for me. The part with the cow costume kills me every single time.

I was just about to post this topic. It is hard to see him today with his struggles, and be relegated to signing autographs a fan conventions. That has to be a beating. I did enjoy the look back on his childhood

Random real life Val Kilmer story:

Once I was in NM with some buddies and we wanted to go fly fishing, so the guide we were going with took us out to this private ranch where they had access for a fee. Turns out it was Val's ranch. So we're out there fishing and having a good time, and all of the sudden the ranch manager bushwhacks out to this remote part of the ranch where we were fishing and says "Val is here and he wants you to leave. Right now." And she gave us directions on a certain exit we should use so he wouldn't have to see us driving away.

Just a random anecdote confirming his reputation

Man, the fact that they put boots on a real cow, and then oscillate between an obviously fake cow costume and a real cow. And then when they hold the stethoscope and cigarette up to the real cow with a human hand.

He was shooting a movie in NOLA years ago and ended up befriending some of my good friends. They ran around with him a bunch for a couple months. I told him I wanted a voicemail from Doc Holliday but he never came through for me.

"Top Secret!" is pure greatness, but "Real Genius" is probably one of my favorite 80's comedies.

Similar story in NOLA. I think it was during the filming of Deja Vu. They evidently filmed some of the movie down in Morgan City. There were several accounts of Val hanging out at the local bars there and being very friendly and approachable.

He has a role in "The Birthday Cake"...but the previews dont show him talking. Curious if anyone's seen it, and if he had any lines?

He has 4 other movies coming out (Top Gun, and three others).

Does he talk in these? He's had a tracheotomy, so Im curious if he's finding roles he can talk with his tube?...or if these are non speaking roles?

I always thought The Ghost and The Darkness was such a solid, underrated movie. Always liked it, but I haven't seen in for a couple decades.

That is a great movie.

I ran across it on TV the other day. Doesnt quite hold up like it used to, but it's still a good one.

That was tough to watch. Hate to see him the way he is now but he has some amazing footage from his life. The play he did with Kevon Bacon and Sean Penn when they all appeared to be teenagers was crazy.

Watched this a few months ago for the first time in a while. Great movie. Michael Douglas is probably in my top 5 of all time favorite actors.

Great documentary if you're a fan of Kilmer, even just a little bit.

It really was a shame to see how his dad took advantage of his new found fame, and eye-opening how a lot of these celebs from pre-$20 million deals aren't rollin in the dough like we think they would be.

The clip of him at fanfests talking about how doing that circuit is looked down upon but at the same time it's taught him the appreciation of his fans...heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.

I love Kilmer. In so many of my fav movies....Iceman, Mad Martigan, Heat, Ghost and the Darkness, Doc Holliday....always took time to watch his movies.


And yes, Penn came across as a d-bag even at that young age. Especially compared to Bacon who came across exactly as friendly as you would expect. And no, this has nothing to do with F16 politics.

Sounds like that guide was granting access to land he wasn't empowered to do so.

The Saint is one of my all time favorite movies with him. Great soundtrack, Elizabeth Shue, and Val Kilmer playing several different characters.
