Gimme Three Podcast - A Series For Cinephiles

69 - Val Kilmer Films

Nicholas Ybarra & Bella Efstratis Episode 69

On this episode of the Gimme Three Podcast, we discuss the career of the late, great actor Val Kilmer; a life and saga cut short, but left several iconic performances. We explore a few here:

  • First, Val Kilmer transforms every fiber of his being into Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s hypnotic masterpiece, The Doors. 
  • In one of the most memorable and quotable performances ever, Val Kilmer plays the dentist-turned-outlaw Doc Holliday in Tombstone
  • Finally, Val Kilmer becomes the Caped Crusader in the wild and memorable Batman Forever. 


This is just scratching the surface of Kilmer’s storied career. So please, leave us a comment and let us know your favorite Val Kilmer performance.
