Great piece in New Yorker by Molly Ringwald looking back on her films.
Peter Dinklage
Fred Ward
The Station Agent is a fantastic small film. A must-see for any Dinklage fan.
I would chalk Kilmer’s problems up to people have seen The Doors.
I remember being in the minority at the time, but I liked the Doors movie - I like some Doors songs a lot (esp when I was in college) but not a Doors fan per se. I thought the movie was an accurate depiction of a self-destructive person. The Meg Ryan stuff was awful and probably wrong, but Kilmer was fine.Not his fault. I blame the director.
Kilmer has had some awesome performances, HEAT, Tombstone even Top Gun.
I wish he would get it together and start making movies again.
Last I heard he was asking to be included in the Top Gun sequel.
Him and Elizabeth Shue were great in the Saint, made the best of a mediocre script. Arguably his worst movie was Ghost and the Darkness, which if done right could have been a great film.Not his fault. I blame the director.

I think he has some health issues recently, although he is still working. He rarely had a bad performance in his prime, but that prime has past, and he hasn't made the transition to father/mentor character.
Samantha Barks, who played Eponine in Les Miserables, stealing the show in a movie that won 3 Golden Globes and 3 Oscars. She is smoking hot and very talented, but her IMDB profile looks like she practically retired.
The Saint was great. The title of worst Val Kilmer movie goes to The Island of Dr. Moreau though. My favorite is definitely Heat with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang right behind it.Him and Elizabeth Shue were great in the Saint, made the best of a mediocre script.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
way underrated film, RDJ is great in it as well
The title could be a reason. Sounds like just a stupid shoot-em-up. But apparently there might be more to it.I can’t believe I have never seen it.
Oh man, totally forgot about Spartan. Great, slow burn flick!The Saint was great. The title of worst Val Kilmer movie goes to The Island of Dr. Moreau though. My favorite is definitely Heat with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang right behind it.

I'm a big fan of Sam Rockwell. He's been in plenty of movies, but usually as a supporting actor, or in B grade or indie movies. He's incredibly versatile, he's got plenty of charisma, seems like the guy should be a much bigger star than he is. As both Zaphod Beeblebrox and Guy Fleegman, he's nailed down 2 of the better comedic sci fi performances of all time.
Chris Cooper and Ben Mendelsohn. Neither has matinee idol looks, they are both actually a little creepy looking.
Guess they are more grossly underrated actors, to be a huge Hoywood star you have to have the look. People like Treat Williams, Clive Owen, Mark Ruffalo, Eric Bana, Alison Lohman, Ron Eldard, Michael Biehn, Carla Gugino should have bigger careers.
I always wondered what happened to Mandy Patinkin after Princess Bride. They didn't even have him sing. Looks like he's had some TV success in shows I didn't watch. Antonio Banderas is no Mandy Patinkin in a musical role.
He went the TV route. Chicago Hope. Criminal Minds. He's one of the leads in Homeland on HBO atm.
