Why we chose it

Val Kilmer is Jim Morrison, who starts The Doors in Los Angeles in 1965 and three years later is drunk at nearly every show. Kilmer sang most of the vocals himself, and after two hours of Oliver Stone (“Natural Born Killers”) you’ll still be calling for an encore.

Synopsis

It’s 1965 in Los Angeles, and Jim Morrison is a film student with a notebook full of poems. He starts a band with a keyboard player he has only just met and two more musicians, and they call themselves The Doors. They land a regular gig at the Whisky a Go Go, where Morrison does things on stage that will soon get them thrown out.
