This one hurts! He hung on for so long. I'm glad he made it in Maverick.

Awful. Love him in so many movies. But my fav was His portrayal of the Doc.

RIP

 

[Dback Jon]

Yes, this one really sucks

 

[PDXChris]

Real Genius was genius! It made smart attractive!

Part of childhood just died.

RIP Val. He has so many great roles as all of us were growing: Iceman, Chris Knight, Nick Rivers, Morrison, Doc, the list of great roles just goes on. Cancer is the worst.

That’s how I feel - but more high school/college

He was only a little bit older than me

 

[Raindog]

RIP... he was in a lot of good films.

As a sidebar, April 1 is likely the worst date to pass away on. Nobody really believes the news. I had to doublecheck after I saw it all over social media.

 

[Town Drunk]

Damn. He was great in everything he did. This hurts.

 

[Mainstreet]

This is sad indeed. You will be missed.

Rest in Peace, Val Kilmer

 

[Covert Rain]

Unreal. Such a big part of my movie watching experience growing up. R.I.P.

 

[Chaplin]

Star of the criminally underrated Thunderheart.

This is a tough one. RIP

I can't say I grew up with him as I was already 30 when Top Secret came out but yeah, he had a lot of great roles and entertaining movies. I suspect my wife and I are in a distinct minority though as we'd also include The Saint and Red Planet among our favorites.

I liked red planet

Nick Rivers: Hillary. That's an unusual name.
Hillary Flammond: It's a German name. It means 'she whose bosoms defy gravity'.
Nick Rivers: I'm pleased to meet you. My name's Nick.
Hillary Flammond: Nick? What does that mean?
Nick Rivers: Oh, nothing. My dad thought of it while he was shaving
