The Doors (1991)
After Val Kilmer passed, actress Jennifer Tilly shared a story about meeting the actor while auditioning for The Doors. Tilly wrote on X that Kilmer walked into the audition “barefoot, shirtless, and wearing nothing but a pair of tight leather pants.” Tilly knew that Kilmer would play Jim Morrison, and “nobody else stood a chance.”
Oliver Stone’s The Doors follows the rise, fall, and tragic ending of Jim Morrison (Kilmer), the lead singer of The Doors. The band goes from local stars to overnight celebrities, mainly due to Jim’s magnetic persona. However, Jim’s drug addiction and foray into cult activities caused many disputes with the band. While not the greatest movie, it’s a bold performance from Kilmer, whose commitment to the role is worth celebrating.

Tropic Thunder (2008)
The children might love Jack Black in A Minecraft Movie, but the adults will appreciate his humor in Tropic Thunder. On the fictional production of the war movie Tropic Thunder, director Damien Cockburn (Steve Coogan) decides to drop his cast into the real jungle and film their reactions.
The cast includes Tugg Speedman (Ben Stiller), Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.), Alpha Chino (Brandon T. Jackson), and Jeff Portnoy (Black). The group doesn’t realize that they are in the middle of a dangerous war zone. They remain unfazed even after Damien dies. Now, these clueless actors must band together and survive the elements. Cue the music, fat-handed Tom Cruise.
