    I highly recommend his autobiographical documentary Val (2021). I also recommend the absurd comedy Top Secret! (1984), his first movie.

    I watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang recently and really appreciated his performance in that movie. He’s one of the original “indie stars” of my generation. Sorry to see him go.

    I wonder why „The Saint“ is not mentioned. Loved the movie and the different characters played by val kilmer.

    So I guess that any article from the Guardian is automatically flagged, no matter the subject?

    Never seen any of those, I'd have mentioned Heat instead.

    I wonder what does this sentence mean

      Kilmer took part in Suzuki Method training

    I mean, I would probably have highlighted his starring in Top Secret! first, considering it was his break-out role, and he is excellent in that film. And also that Top Secret! is an excellent film, that too few people have seen.
