Enough with this serious talk: via Jonathan Last, ten of the greatest minutes Hollywood has ever produced:

This video was preceded by ten minutes of spirited discussion in the office about the various merits of Val Kilmer. I, for one, am firmly in the pro-Kilmer camp: his portrayal of Doc Holliday is one of the single greatest performances of all time. Add to that expert turns in Heat, Top Gun, and The Doors, and you’ve got a superb actor. I even enjoy his schlockier stuff like Red Planet and The Island of Dr. Moreau.
