Review: We're big fans of the Doors here at the Legion.  They were one of the first rock bands that really got my attention as a kid.   I remember going to see the Doors movie starring Val Kilmer back in the day, it was this great biopic.  Now, we get something even better.  This is an actual documentary about the band.  The narration by Johnny Depp is appropriate, since he's such a counterculture icon.  

The documentary features the story of the band, which doesn't include a lot of new insights, but the amount of new and rare footage that has never before been seen by the public is astounding!  This is an amazing documentary about a classic band.  Its definately a must-see!
