10. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang - "Gay Perry: Private Detective"
Harry Lockhart might be one of the most refreshing protagonists in ages, but Val Kilmer's Gay Perry steals the show. Hard-boiled, quick-lipped, feisty, and tough, he's a character that can work with just about any type of character. I'd personally like to see him tackle crazy case after crazy case, with Downey Jr.'s Lockhart making a cameo or two. Keep the style and tone of
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, but give Perry a really tough case, making him be a bit more Sherlockian and deducing than he got to be in
KK,BB. If there's any type of interesting character that could start up a new franchise, it's most definitely Gay Perry. And Kilmer's return to arguably his greatest character is non-negotiable. Shane Black, when you're finished with
Iron Man 3, your child awaits your return.
