The Doors (3 stars) 1991 Jim Morrison ( Val Kilmer) forms a band and turns tragic 1960’s 1960s rock star.
I’m blown away by Val’s performance in this movie. I guess I can’t make fun of the ice-man any more. He played the part of Morrison of inspired genius.
He deserved an Oscar and I highly recommend this movie.

Kilmer got the part after making a video of himself performing Doors material and playing it for Stone. He told Stone that songs were mixed up between his own singing and Morrison’s. He asked Stone to tell them apart; after he made his guesses as to who was singing what songs, Kilmer admitted that the entire video was him singing.
