Of course I moved Kilmer to my alternates list this year. Of course. I probably swapped him out for Dave Coulier too. ---

Not a huge fan of Kilmer, but Top Secret! has always been a great comedy. He’s terrific in it, too. Great comedy timing from him. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Not a huge fan of Kilmer, but Top Secret! has always been a great comedy. Yeah, I think it suffered a bit from “not being _Airplane!_” - the joke pacing and hit rate wasn’t as high, but there are still some absolutely brilliant moments in it and Kilmer is very good indeed. I still prefer _Real Genius_ though. ---
