> [@Ibanez](#): > > Robert DeNiro in Heat. The first time a movie made me cheer for the bad guy. 'What do you care who I am or what I’m reading?" True – but (spoiler) he doesn’t make it in the end. Excellent character, excellent movie. Look at Val Kilmer’s face when he’s buying the charges at the hardware store – almost Tombstone good. ---

As much as we love Kurt Russell (a LOT, especially in _Big Trouble…_), we watch Tombstone to watch Val.

Alan Arkin as Harry Roat in Wait Until Dark Powers Boothe in the title role of Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones. There’s a reason he won that Emmy! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favorite-movie-starring-the-particular-actor/592948.md?page=2)
