***Le Mystere Morrison (1991)

***Ohne Maulkorb: Doors Documentary (Austrian)
A very rare show! This is by far the best copy I have ever come across! Very trippy show...unfortunately it's all in the Austrian language. Also included on this same DVD is...
***1981 Musik Szene Doors Documentary (German)
Another rare one! This show has some great clips of the Doors playing although it is in German.

A flurry of specials were aired in France amidst all the goings-on of December 8th, 1993. This DVD includes all of the best! Contained is 'Culture Rock: Jim Morrison Special' and 'Jim Morrison's Last Days In Paris', and a few other short clips!

***Strange Deaths - Jim Morrison
This UK special focuses on the deaths of James Dean, Andy Warhol, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison. Herve Mueller hosts the segment on Morrison's death...probably one of the most accurate account I've ever heard anyone tell. It delves into several of the conflicting stories surrounding Jim's death.

***Easyrider Video Magazine Vol. 1 & 4
The same guy who produced many of The Doors videos, (Rick Schmidlin) also produced these biker classics. Rick used video outtakes from the Feast of Friends movie set to Doors music in one show, and in the other, a stripper is dancing to Doors music. Beware: These contain nudity.

***Beyond The Doors
Very hard to find movie about Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison and the government conspiracy to kill them. This copy comes direct from one of the very rare original rental video cassettes...It was never commercially produced on consumer video or DVD. This very weird show contains some very bad acting and was pulled from the shelves when multiple lawsuits from Jimi's, Janis' and Jim's families were filed against the producers when it was first released, but never-the-less has maintained a classic amongst classic rock fans!

***Last Days of Jim Morrison (2006)
This is the most complete documentary on the death of Jim Morrison that was ever made. Interviews included in this excellent documentary are with John Densmore, Pearl Courson, Herve Muller, Frank Lisciandro, Bill Siddons, the owner of the R&R Circus, and more! Walk throughs included in the DVD are from inside the 17 Rue Beautreillis apartment and several other places Jim had been. Unfortunately it is 80% in French, but even having flunked French myself, I was still able to pick out many interesting things that I didn't know. This show is recommended viewing!

***Jim Morrison: An American Poet in Paris (2006)
Another recommended documentary on Morrison's time in Paris. This DVD includes interviews with Gilles yepremian, Phil Trainer, and Philippe Dalecky - all of whom were friends with Jim in Paris. Unfortunately as with the documentary above, it is 80% in French, but even having flunked French myself, I was still able to pick out many interesting things that I didn't know. This show is recommended viewing!

Part travelogue, part X-Files, Dead Famous: Ghostly Encounters explores the intimate haunts where the famous dead are said to tread. Tune in for the real story of celebrity lives—after their deaths. Very interesting!

***When Hippies Ruled the World (2002)
A look back at the flower power era of the late 1960s, when Woodstock was the ultimate music festival and the Beatles helped to popularize Eastern Mysticism. Narrations by Ray Manzarek and Dennis Hoper and others. Very recommended!

***Get Crazy (1983)
Get Crazy is a 1983 cult film directed by Allan Arkush and starring Malcolm McDowell, John Densmore, Lou Reed, Bobby Sherman, Fabian, and Ed Begley, Jr. The musical comedy depicts the fifteenth annual New Years Eve concert at the fictitious Saturn Theater, and satirizes the rock business along with many rock and roll stereotypes. The film is also a tribute to the Fillmore East theater in New York City, where Arkush once worked as an usher.
The film's main conflict comes from an evil industry mogul who wants to tear down the Saturn for a high-rise office building. In contrast the operator of the Saturn Theater, Max Wolfe (an idealized version of Bill Graham), is established as the hero of live music fans everywhere when he sums up his credo thusly: "I put on shows at the Saturn so that the kids can see the stage, afford the tickets, and hear the music."

***The Doors 21st Century: Jones Beach, Wantagh, NY (8-24-03)
Our DVD is a digital first generation and is amateur shot with one camera. The complete 'LA Woman' album was performed this night! A tripod was definitely used because there is very little jiggle on the
many closeups. Because of the distance from stage and the use of a telephoto lens, there is a little fuzziness if you watch this on a big screen, otherwise you probably wont even notice. Very good sound
quality! Highly recommended!

***Robby Krieger & John Densmore: Pistoia Blues Festival, Italy (7-19-98)
Whilte quality on this show isn't as perfect as we would like it to be, it certainly makes up by being the only show that was video taped, that I know of, that features Robby and John, in this exciting pre-D21C performance...that once was, but will certainly never be again.

***Nico Icon
This is one of the best documentaries on Nico. The weird but mesmerizing horror & occasional beauty of Nico's life & music are extremely well evoked. The most impressive scenes are the interviews with Alain Delon's mother Edith Boulogne -- who died soon after the movie was finished -- who had taken care of Alain's & Nico's son Ari, and, finally, John Cale performing "Frozen Warnings" alone on the piano. No matter if you know or like Nico's definitely genuine, but strange approach to music, the movie is worthwhile watching for its documentary qualities. Includes a short bit about her relationship / obsession with Morrison.
