In 1985, Val Kilmer was a "Real Genius," which it turns out is one rank below "Top Gun," at least chronologically. In what some (well, one) consider Kilmer's greatest film role, he shepherds a younger and perhaps realer genius through a college gauntlet of enemy dickey-wearers, mysterious closet passer-throughers, an administrator serving the perpetrators of a military weapons system, wacky parties, and even a girl!
