Jim Morrison was born in 1943 and died tragically in 1971 at the age of 27. In honor of his birthday I have included 2 related films in my daily newsletter of streaming movie recommendations at fiveaday.substack.com.
The Doors (1991), which is currently streaming on HBO Max, features Val Kilmer as the legendary singer with a supporting cast of Meg Ryan, Kyle MacLachlan, Kevin Dillon, Michael Madson, and Billy Idol.
When You're Strange (2009) is a great documentary currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Narrated by Johnny Depp, it includes rare exclusive footage of The Doors.
