Worst possible day to shuffle off this mortal coil… R.I.P Val
RIP. He starred in quite a few movies that I like.
Top Secret is still my favourite… ‘Is this the potato farm? Yes, I’m Albert Potato.’
The doc he made about his life a few years ago is well worth a watch. Goodbye Ice. Thanks for some great work that will outlive all of us.
He did an unforgettable Jom Morisson too. Break on through to the other side, Ice!
His Top Gun Maverick swan song almost makes one forgive him for Island of Dr Moreau.
Almost.
his Doc Holliday in Tombstone … was just fantastic
Was going to say that. He was really good.
“The Doors” - what a legend!
So sad
Sad news.
You guys ever seen ‘Spartan’? He was great, feel like that movie is underrated - or maybe overlooked is a better word.
Not the greatest ever, but a solid action movie that really moves you along from scene to scene. Lots of fun dialog too (Mamet).
Skeet surfing!
Let’s not forget The Saint along side Elizabeth Schue.
Val was in several memorable movies.
RIP.
Wheels
Real Genius was a staple for me growing up, saw that film so many times on cable.
That was the first Val movie I saw in the theater. Saw it with my summer camp group in 1985.
“Tombstone”, “Heat” and “The Doors” are his greatest three acting performances in my opinion.
