Album Description: Widescreen/Blu Ray. Rated R. Jim Morrison (Val Kilmer), one of the most sensual and exciting figures in the history of rock and roll, explodes on the screen in The Doors, the electrifying movie about a time called the sixties and a legendary outlaw who rocked America's consciousness - forever. Director: Oliver Stone. Featuring Val Kilmer, Meg Ryan, Kyle MacLachlan, Frank Whaley, Kevin Dillon. 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio (English). Commentary with director Oliver Stone. Deleted scenes, two featurettes (The Doors in LA', Jim Morrison: An American Poet in Paris).
Amazon.com essential video: Thanks in large part to its meticulous re-creation of the late-1960s and early-'70s rock scene and the uncannily authentic performance by Val Kilmer as legendary Doors frontman Jim Morrison, Oliver Stone's hypnotic film biography is standing the test of time. Capturing the carefree mood of the Age of Aquarius, the film charts the meteoric rise of the Doors on the California club circuit (including a memorable scene showing the creation of the hit "Light My Fire"), and chronicles the band's exploits with hallucinogenics and Morrison's battles against charges of public indecency on stage. Kilmer's performance is hauntingly perfect, and performances by Meg Ryan, Kathleen Quinlan, and Kyle MacLachlan are similarly impressive. The movie doesn't fully probe the depths of Morrison's character, but as a portrait of excess it is vividly true to the spirit of the self-destructive poet known to his fans as "The Lizard King." --Jeff Shannon

This is Oliver Stone's best film, Val Kilmer's best performance, and the 2d best fiction film representation of a rock band (This Is Spinal Tap is the best, of course). But first, the bad news:

My sister is a major fan of this movie, but in all honesty I am not a big fan of The Doors and so seeing the movie was not a huge priority of mine. After her incessant insisting I decided to give it a try though, ... Read More
Rating: - Val Kilmer's best performance
Great music, great concert camera work, and great acting by Val Kilmer.
The only real negative is the focus on Lizard King persona, and not
enough real Jim. But overall worth watching w/ the volume set ... Read More
