Same. It's the greatest Lord of the Rings ripoff of all time. :prohm:
I wouldn't categorize it that way at all. It's just a fun swashbuckler, doesn't take itself real seriously, closer to an Indiana Jones adventure popcorn movie. Just fun.

Total favorite of mine as well. Kilmer was great in it too, just playing it wide and having fun. Memorable score too.

Don't believe I saw any of his movies, but 65 is too young to go.

Rest easy

You somehow missed Top Gun, Top Gun:Maverick, Batman Forever, Tombstone, and Willow?

What were you going the 1980-90s?

Working and getting laid?

I wanted to see The Doors movie. I just read the book No One Here Gets Out Alive.

Made it through maybe 2 minutes and knew it wasn't working for me. But I haven't seen these movies.

I checked out his imdb listing and didn't see any I've watched.
That is almost impossible to believe that you have never seen a Val Kilmer movie. The best way to get laid back in the day is take a girl to see Top Gun or one of his other movies. I actually don't believe you have never seen a Val Kilmer movie. I don't know one person that has not seen Top Gun or Tombstone.

Hand to God.

I have to mention the 2006 Denzel movie "Deja Vu".

Kilmer has a fairly tiny part in the movie but I've always thought it sure looked like a cinematic look at where his health was starting to go the other direction.

Totally forgot to mention that one. Loved that movie.

Was Val with Brando in Island of Dr Moreau? I haven’t pulled up IMDb, but I feel like he was in that one. Which certainly could not have helped career trajectory in the late 90s.

@KnappShack , start with Tombstone.

I'm similar. If I saw top gun it was when it first came out and I was 6. Not a Cruise fan so didn't seek it out as an adult. Tombstone not a Western guy. Did see Batman Forever which is one of the more disappointing Batman movies despite an great cast.

The movie with Kilmer in it that I've seen the most is Magruber.

Would have to say this movie, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, & Thunderheart are his off the radar, underrated movies. Wonderland is sneaky good, too, but there have been a lot of adaptations for those murders & what went on there.

Loved him in Heat (supporting role). Great movie (watch the unedited - Michael Mann is the best). His mag change during the shootout after the bank robbery is so good military instructors use it teaching new recruits.

Salton Sea is another one that I don't think many saw that is decent. It's a pretty wild and dark movie.

I've never seen Tombstone. Clips here and there but never sat thru the whole thing.
