Watched Top secret in honour of Val Kilmer. What did you watch?

We would have watched Real Genius but I don’t have it on cd. It was a toss up: top secret or Willow, or island of Dr Moreau. All so entertaining!

But Neek Reevers!

You seriously need to watch Top Secret! (the exclamation point is part of the title).

If I had anything other than HEAT I'd watch The Ghost and the Darkness

u/badgersister1 2d ago

Oh yeah! Ghost and the Darkness! That’s on for tonight!

Last year my lady picked MacGruber, then I picked Top Secret!

u/badgersister1 2d ago

I haven’t seen MacGruber! I’ll add it to the list. My SO wanted to watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang but I said that’s a Christmas movie!

Real Genius with my nephew to pass the Val torch!! 💔💔

All the Val Kilmer threads, I have not heard one mention of Wonderland.

u/Icosotc 3d ago

I was watching MacGruber, then my kid walked in…

I quickly turned on Batman Forever instead :)

Just finished Top Secret as well!  Saw it once maybe 20 years ago and had been meaning to revisit it.

Hilarious movie, though probably not as much of a classic as Airplane and the Naked Gun.  My favorite bit was the old lady slow-walking to pick up the phone during the execution.  I lost it.

I just told my brother to stop smoking 🤷 Chances are that I'll watch Heat in the next week or two...I watch it numerous times a year. RIP Val

“You can be my wingman Bullshit you can be mine” Topgun “I’ll be your huckleberry” Tombstone

Tombstone. He’s my huckleberry.

u/Bodymaster 2d ago

Nothing, but I did stick on Skyrim and kill some Falmers.

Had a Val Kilmer Film Fest Day.....The Saint, Tombstone, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Willow & The Doors. Have a few more left to watch over the next couple of days. Haven't seen any mention of his cameo on the last episode of the tv show Psych....he was mentioned by the lead actor throughout the series & shows up at the end of the last episode with a couple of lines.....which was fabulous. And I still and always cry when Doc dies in Tombstone. RIP to a great & much loved actor....."I'm your huckleberry".

u/DivineAngie89 2d ago

Never saw real genius but Willow is great but Dr.moreau is anal sauce. Go with willow

1

u/Rvasq72 2d ago

Tombstone to me was his best acting

1

u/JonPaula 2d ago

Had never seen "The Doors" - so that was a fun choice last night.

1

u/tkecanuck341 2d ago

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.

u/Tylerdurden389 2d ago

Heat is gonna be playing in a small theater I frequent later this month. I'd imagine they'll put an in memoriam montage video before the film starts.

u/cybrgigolo 2d ago

Doubled down with Willow and Real Genius. Ccrappy weather this weekend - Val marathon?

1

u/ewogi1 2d ago

Watched MacGruber and then the Saint. Two classics, and he says the same line in both films.

1

u/ovine_aviation 1d ago

I've got some lined up after many subs inevitably asked for your favourite Kilmer films. I'll be watching (in this order):

The Doors

The Saint

Top Gun

Deja Vu

Real Genius

Willow

I would include Top Secret and Kiss Kiss had I not recently rewatched them.

1

u/SpaceCadetMoonMan 1d ago

Red Planet was super fun, if you like the matrix you’ll like the casting

Also it’s set in 2025!

1

u/SpaceCadetMoonMan 1d ago

Wait maybe not but I swear they said 2025 lol

1

u/Denverdogmama 1d ago

I rewatched his documentary. This weekend, we plan to watch The Doors, Real Genius, Willow and Tombstone (these are Kilmer movies I own).

1

u/Middle-Egg-8192 1d ago

The Saint and Batman Forever. I need to watch Ghost and the Darkness next.

1

u/MeanTelevision 1d ago

Deja Vu was on and we watched some of that. He's in it.

u/Careless_Whisper_007 20h ago

Thunderheart, was the first movie of his that I saw and I immediately fell in love with him

u/SurlyRed 3d ago

Watched The Saint (1997) for the first time, gotta admit it wasn't very good overall. Whoever thought it was a good idea to have him talking while munching an apple needs stringing up.
