Val Kilmer's performance is one of my favorites. Although the final scene with Doc and Wyatt in the hospital is terrible. They really should have just skipped the epilogue altogether.
I must say I thought Dennis Quaid was a much more convincing (and compelling) Doc.

Love it. So disturbing.
I loved Dark City until I saw The City of Lost Children. Still like Dark City, but it's kind of a ripoff/Americanized version and nowhere near as good.

Also, speaking of Alex Proyas, The Crow is fucking GREAT. That should at least be an honorable mention.

Come to think of it, Kilmer is my least favorite of all the movie Docs I've seen. I don't like Tombstone, though.

I'm a Blue man, myself.
It was close between it and Red, too. I haven't seen Blue in a long time, though. Probably need to re-visit.

I haven't seen any of 'em. Is there a proper viewing order?

Blue-White-Red
It's mainly a thematic linkage, but there are a few details that make watchin them in order worth it.

I haven't seen White, but Red was my favorite out of the other two.

Blue is fucking awesome. One of most brilliantly cinematic movies I've ever seen.
