As a kid into science, I really liked Real Genius.
Realise he went on to do bigger and better things, but liked him ever since that one.
Feels weird, like I’ve already mourned him after watching TG:M. Just me?

Also an incredible performance playing Jim Morrison, even did his own singing.
RIP

when I was a little kid there was this film occasionally on TV - Real Genius - and ever since I wanted to be Val Kilmer.
Then Top Secret - hilarious spoof of a spy film
And then he hit it big with Top Gun.
He played some of the best roles ever, including Batman.
I'll dedicate my weekend film time to him.

Rough one this. He had a presence on screen that would never be matched, never afraid to take a risk and do something slightly left field ultimately led to some of his most iconic roles.
The audience reaction to him appearing in Top Gun Maverick probably encapsulates the man's incredible versatility. The moment he's revealed on screen there were gasps of joy around the screen I was sat in (myself included). You could then hear the quiet sobs creep In as the scene progressed with Kilmer delivering the entire scene almost without words. Such a beautiful moment that Cruise insisted on being in the film.
Brilliant in everything he was in. He leaves behind quite the legacy.
