In addition to the numerous roles already mentioned, his performance as Jim Morrison was incredibly detailed and multifaceted. He spent a year on his singing and learned 50 songs. He was absolutely mesmerizing. His commitment to his craft was unbelievable. In At First Sight, he played a blind man that went through a surgery to restore his sight and then goes blind again. He wore opaque lens and spent time studying with a sculptor that lost his sight in Vietnam. He truly immersed himself in the characters

Such an incredible actor. The Doors, Real Genius were great. He was unbelievable in Tombstone, he was Doc Holliday. "I'll be your huckleberry" is one of film's greatest lines. RIP Val

Finally watched Tombstone last night. Very good and not at all what I was expecting. Val Kilmer steals the show. Favorite line: 

Cowboy: "Why, it's the drunk piano player. You're so drunk, you can't hit nothin'. In fact, you're probably seeing double."
Doc: "I have two guns, one for each of ya."

Glad you enjoyed it, Maroon.  He definitely steals the show.  The other great scene was when Ringo was dancing his gun around and Doc starts flipping his whiskey cup on his finger.  Lol

The shootout between Doc Holiday and Johnny Ringo has got to be the most entertaining gunfight that was made..."Say When?".

Just finished Tombstone and Heat. Both were very good. Can’t believe it took me so long to watch Tombstone.
