Seems appropriate as a last scene between two old friends, both in movies and real life.

Really liked him as Jim Morrison. You could tell he immersed himself in that role. Best scene for me in that movie is him recording LA Woman on a toilet in the outro.

That one is good but l love "Are we cross? (taps on six shooter)..."

Although the "I know, let's have a spelling contest" to Ike was hilarious

I've got 2 guns, one for each of you.

And yea the throat cancer diagnosis was even worse because he had such an awesome voice.

---

Being a two guns up Red Raider this was and still is one of my all time favs. Seriously no telling how many awesome memes came from that one movie.

Val was a great actor and brought so many good memories to the late boomer and gen X generations.

RIP. Watching tombstone right now as a result

Gonna watch Tombstone tomorrow, I guess.

Also, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a great flick with him and Robert Downey Jr. Buddy cop spy comedy movie, and Val plays a gay tough guy. RDJ and Val are both nails.

Political because April is going to be full of Val Kilmer memes. Even more than usual.

---

Glad you mentioned it. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is way underrated. Great film.

Val died of throat cancer from smoking on Kick Tobacco day. He was a really heavy smoker for years.

I just watched The Doors again just last weekend. Really makes you think. I'm gonna have to watch Top Secret again- totally forgot about that movie.

It is a guilty pleasure.

Ice is nice!

He actually did a great job in Top Gun 2. Nowhere near his aforementioned roles. I really liked him. Directors hated working with him because he was a perfectionist. RIP Val Kilmer.

The Ghost and the Darkness gets overlooked.

"I will sort this out. I will kill the lion, and I will build the bridge."

"Of course you will…you're white, you can do anything."

"You lack the courage to lead. Go! Tell all your men to go. But I will kill the lions and I will build the bridge. And you? You must go home and tell the wives of the men who died here that you fled with the others because you could not master your fear."

Tombstone
Real Genius
Top Gun
Willow
The Doors

Damn this sucks, we lost his skills a long time ago and now have to see him gone forever.

Asked on a convention panel if Val Kilmer was difficult to work with, Michael Biehn replied, "I don't know."
Then, after a brief pause, he added.
"I never met Val Kilmer while filming Tombstone.
I only met Doc Holliday." https://t.co/PixyMb5sPb

Bummer. Way too young at 65. He was one year older than me; almost to the day.

---

the throat cancer probably left his immune system weak so he was susceptible to pneumonia

still, he had a great ride.

I am telling you if you want a good tear jerker watch the documentary he made about his life.

he was actually a very deep thinker and gave up Hollywood to build a massive ranch.

Blue skies and tailwinds, Iceman.
