I introduced my 24-yr-old daughter to TOP SECRET! last night and she absolutely loved it.
I'd always been aware of him and his movies, but I really fell in love with him when I saw him in THE SAINT. It remains one of my all-time favorite movies. The way he could so easily shape-shift into all those different characters...just so good. And of course, his performance as Doc Holliday.
His documentary VAL is so raw and real...I don't know if I can watch it right now as I've been grieving over his death. I've struggled to understand why it's hitting me so hard...but it's a loss. No, I never met him. But his movies centered around some pivotal touchstones in my life, and I think I'm grieving not only his loss (because my god, the world is less bright without him in it), but because I am grieving the woman that I was when I was watching his films, that college kid with all the lofty dreams that really never came to pass. Maybe it's because I'll turn 50 this year and I'm aware that I'm in the second and last part of my life. I'm not sure, but the grief is real, and I've decided there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
I have kiss kiss Bang bang ready to go tonight
omg i loved this bonkers film!
I will NEVER tire of watching Top Secret, while The Doors and Top Gun were both seminal movies of my lifetime. Farewell Val, one of the best
three absolute crackers there!
So many hours spent watching Top Secret as a teenager with my bestie! Tombstone and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang will also definitely get a rewatch.
Same!! big part of my teen fun!
He might have been a pain to direct but watching him on the screen was wow
Rewatched Tombstone late last night. Vale, Huckleberry. ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Great choice :)
