No, I'm serious! Have you seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang? While the writing helps, his performance is priceless. It's hard to hold screen time with the riveting Robert Downey Jr., but Val does it. His timing is masterful.
Go back and rewatch The Doors. It's a brilliant parody! Comedy on the Spinal Tap level. Remember his classic back-to-back Top roles: Ice in Top Gun and Nick Rivers in Top Secret! Then there is his Philip in Alexander. Maybe you disagree with some of the film maker's decisions (yes, yes, Stone is a nutjob!) but you have to watch. Okay, maybe you just can't look away, it's practically the same thing.
Go to Netflix and queue up a personal Val Kilmer filmfest. Then come back and tell me I'm crazy.
On a personal note (speaking of crazy) about 15 years ago I took a writing class with an "older" lady. She was single, living in a loft, doing a TON of coke. Not that she ever offered it to me, no one does. She slept with Val while he was at Juilliard. She would tell anyone who would listen (mainly bartenders) that she was plenty willing to repeat the experience any time he was interested.
And yes, that's a picture of him with Winona Ryder. I think it's safe to say he still likes coke whores.

Val as Bruce Wayne = knock out performance. He was Batman to Nicole Kankleman. Jeez.
I still can't put my finger on Elizabeth Shue though. As The Saint's love interest, she could have put a little more effort into the "interest" part. Snooze.
