When You’re Strange is a 2009 documentary focusing on the band’s formation, rise, fall, high points, Jim Morrison’s overall presence and alcohol/drug use, and more. Narrated by Johnny Depp and directed by Tom DiCillo, the doc is well worth a watch:
Feast of Friends, meanwhile, came out in 1969 and was directed by Paul Ferrara, Babe Hill and the Doors themselves, with Ferrara documenting the band’s day-to-day activities and performances at points throughout 1968.
