Best memories from Val Kilmer?

My favorite memory of him is from his most recent bittersweet appearance in Top Gun, Maverick.

I liked him in Willow.

Val Kilmer in Top Gun in the volley ball beach scene.

My first thought was Willow too. Madmartigan. I watched it many times with my kids, enjoying it for its own sake.

Jim Morrison for me.
He actually spent a lot of time here in SW Mo.

Heartbreaking. He was an incredible Jim Morrison, but I think I agree with @Caravanfan. While I hated the Top Gun Remake, that scene with Val was powerful. Also Heat was another phenomenal film. He was a supporting actor but delivered a great performance.

He was pretty close to me in age, so like millions of women, our appreciation for his talent came after, “OMG he’s hot!”

Val was a professional; talented in his chosen occupation.
I won’t belittle that by attempting to rate his individual performances.
And to clarify, OMG he was hot.

My condolences to his family, and other fans.

A never meet your heros post from reddit.

LOL @Patty_Melt Yesss…he was hot! He died way too young, but apparently he’d been battling cancer (throat?) for a decade. RIP

Thank you @kevbo1 for that link. I haven’t read it yet but look forward to reading about his craziness!

I only know him from that one Batman movie.
