Although the movie is titled “The Doors†it’s really a bio-picture about Jim Morrison. It’s a good movie that captures the 1960’s and early 1970’s and shows the influence the Doors music had on the times. The music is excellent since... Full review

Watch and listen as Kilmer morphs into Morrison taking on the actual singing duties during the film's live performances; so dead-on even the surviving members of The Doors couldn't tell his vocals apart from the real Morrison.
Oliver Stone's mind-trip of a film impresses with special effects, soft light, psychedelia and the music; the music is the thing.

The film looks as best I've seen it on home video in this Blu-ray release.
The Doors is Oliver Stone's vision of the iconic band and features an interesting look at the time period from whence they sprang.
