The Doors
1991

Director: Oliver Stone
Cast: Val Kilmer, Meg Ryan, Kathleen Quinlan, Kyle MacLachlan, Frank Whaley

Oliver Stone's vivid but muddled biopic of Jim Morrison comes uncomfortably close to worship at times. After all, we are only talking about a rock singer. One thing is for sure, the film won't leave you cold. Val Kilmer’s strong performance deserves recognition.
