New Doors Movie

Former Doors drummer John Densmore , now 65, refers to the Doors' late frontman Jim Morrison as a "Dionysus." Densmore adds that his bandmate's pleasure-seeking ways didn't make him want to quit the legendary band. The film features never-before-seen archival footage of Morrison rehearsing with the group. Also featured are Densmore, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, and guitarist Robby Krieger. Oscar-nominee Johnny Depp narrates. "When You're Strange: A Film About The Doors" is rated R.
