I went with "Tombstone" because it's stayed in my top 10 favorite films of all time list since I first saw it however long ago it's been. His utterances of, "Oh, hell" in that film are terrific. Still, I will forever and always think of that first and foremost as a Val Kilmer film.

I can't believe no one has said Soldier. This is a highly under-rated film. And although I like Big Trouble and Escape from NY (Not the other one) I still think Soldier is the best he has made.

Big trouble in little china is far more popular than I thought it would be.

Big Trouble got my vote as well, mainly because there's only one Jack Burton like the others said.

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

Okay. You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... call the president.

Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."

Now I'm not saying that I've been everywhere and I've done everything, but I do know it's a pretty amazing planet we live on, and a man would have to be some kind of FOOL to think we're all alone in THIS universe.

I picked Tombstone. The Thing was cool too
I wanted to pick the Barefoot Contesta- I think that's what it was called.
This is from his Disney days. I remember watching that at the drive in way back
when I was about 6 or 7. But the first two mentioned are better.

I just looked it up, it was the Barefoot Executive not Contessa.
