Real Genius
Earlier this week, we lost another great actor in Val Kilmer. Most people will always think of Iceman from Top Gun when they think of him, or Batman, but to me he will always be Chris Knight from Real Genius. So to honor him in my own way, I continued my rewatch of my old favorites with this gem.
Even though laser technotogy has come a long way since the mid-80's, this movie played just as well today as it did 40 years ago. I'm guessing people not interested in such technology probably now about the same amount about lasers now as they did back then, and because the laser was just a prop for the character-driven story, the movie aged well.
If you've never seen it, you owe it to yourself to check it out. It's one of my favorite movies of all time, and some of Val Kilmer's best work.
