"I believe in a long prolonged derangement of the senses to attain the unknown... Although I live in the subconscious, our pale reason hides the infinite from us."

Acclaimed and controversial director Oliver Stone has yet again tackled heavy subject matter and trodden on dangerous ground with this rock biopic. The Doors is a film that takes a look at the band of the same name and th... read more

"Ray Manzarek turned down Stone's many requests to help in the movie. Manzarek has since said that the movie is a horrible account of the history of the band." --FROM Internet Movie Database trivia

Gee, I wish he had participated.

Oliver Stone's "The Doors" is a film that loves "the lizard king's" stage presence. And the poetic a... read more

“Missed this one by 31 years. First off, what an incredible cast. And love him or hate him, the director knows how to leverage film as a visual medium. The Doors has dreamlike imagery throughout, which seems an obvious technique to shake the viewer off their already precarious footing. What's more, the music is outstanding and is treated like part of the ensemble.” read more

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1929 movies items)

" Oliver Stone’s take on the life of former The Doors frontman played by Jim Morrison, played by Val Kilmer, and while the film is called The Doors, is more focused on the mythological version of Morrison. With taking issues with this version of Jim Morrison, including members of the band, they do agree on one thing.... Val Kilmer is Jim Morrison. Released by Tri-Star Pictures on March 1, 1991, The Doors grossed $34 million worldwide against its $32 million production budget and received mix"
