Have you guys seen Spartan? It's another low-key release with this guy, and I thought he did a fantastic job in it. Another good movie with him is The Ghost and the Darkness. Heat's a good movie, and Kilmer is solid, but it's a supporting role. He makes the most of it, but it's a Pacino/DeNiro film.

i strongly disagree with you regarding heat and Ghost. both movies he was did not shine.
to understand when kilmer shines in roles you have to understand how he does his job. when he played doc, john holmes, the saint, morrison...batman... he literly watches hundreds to thousands of hours of video on these characters -- to build his own.
in the movies he did not shine, is where there were no historic figures or clear drawings of what he was to portray. he ends up muddling his way through it and is a big disappointment.
