Val Kilmer
He can play the hero. He can make the ladies swoon. He can play a room for laughs. He brought Jim Morrison back from the dead. He’s the Ice Man: Val Kilmer.
And his career has some outstanding cheesecake roles that take full advantage of those pouty lips and chiseled features.
So many moments of hotness, but what Zenith of Hotness?
Top Secret! (1984)

Top Gun (1986)

Willow (1988)

Heat (1995)

Spartan (2004)

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)

Credits and Suggestions
Thanks to Raul for the suggestion of doing Val Kilmer.
Have a suggestion of your own?
Hit us up with the hotness. Heck, even suggest the works and send us some images to put a heater on the hotness.

Even though I wasn’t legal at the time he reached his Zenith of Hotness, 1988 was THE year of Val Kilmer. And I would so have said “yes please”.
I loved Willow! It’s the movie that made me fall in lust with Val Kilmer!
This is sort of unfair - Val Kilmer has had two periods of hotness: The Young Stud period and the Old Pudgy Man period (yes! hot in its own way!). It’s like apples and oranges.
I’d like to deviate from the options and suggest The Saint as his zenith.
@Brett T.T.Macfarlane - agreed the saint was the peak - should have Batman on the list too.
Guys, I know you’re Val fans but too much stirring can ruin the cake. Or something equally obtuse but suggestive. The Saint received consideration but was dropped as too obscure.
Batman: did have no chance.
Val Kilmer? Really? Raul, how can you go from Ryan to Val? Ew.
He is soo Smexxie in Top Secret!
