Uhmmm... Top Gun?
Come on, think whatever you want about that movie but without Tom Kazansky goading Pete Mitchell it doesn't even get off the ground.
Kilmer is one of my favourites of all time. I read his book, it was weird, but gave great insight into his life. I expected to see big chapters on all my favourite movies, but as major milestones they may be in his career, in his eyes they were small insignificant side distractions to his true passion, which was classically trained theatre acting.
I gained a lot of appreciation for his artistic side. It almost seemed to me like he took those roles to keep the lights on so to speak, and to fund his passion projects.. which unfortunately never really came to light.
