Wanna DVD Copy Of The Doors Documentary WHEN YOU'RE STRANGE + A Poster Signed By Ray Manzarek, John Densmore and Robby Krieger??

...with a cool opportunity you don't necessarily have to be a Doors fan to appreciate. WHEN YOU'RE STRANGE - a fascinating documentary about, well, The Doors - has been making the rounds at various film festivals and was recently broadcast on American Masters (PBS). Now it's breaking on through to mainstream distribution, where it's hitting home video, Netflix (discs and streams), and God knows where else you can find it. Narrated by Johnny Depp, produced by LAW & ORDER's Dick Wolf, and written/directed by Tom DiCillo (MONK, LAW & ORDER), this is a fast paced, no-nonsense look at The Doors, focusing (not surprisingly) on Jim Morrison. Sandwiched amidst oodles and oodles of high quality footage from the era (vividly chronicling many facets of The Doors' abrupt rise to popularity and the subsequent whirlwind that ensued) are cutaways to HWY, a Jim Morrison-created film whose unrestored version appears in the embed below. We'd like to give one (1) lucky recipient one (1) copy of WHEN YOU'RE STRANGE on DVD, along with a poster signed by surviving Doors members Ray Manzarek, John Densmore and Robby Krieger. The DVD itself includes a rare interview with Jim Morrison's father George, a Navy Admiral who didn't exactly get along with his decidedly non-conformist son. This apparently represents the first time Admiral Morrison has spoken to any documentarians at length about Jim, and I dont' believe this interview is included in the Netflix version of the film (I may be wrong about this - correct me below if so). What do you gotta do to get all of this? 'Tis simple. In the Talkbacks below, register your opinion about the best use of a Door's song in a movie (in as much detail as possible). The Powers driving this particular contest will choose the entry which speaks to them the most, they'll let me know who they've selected (I'm not judging this one), and we'll post the winner in a subsequent update. At that time, we'll also tell the victor how to reach us with his/her necessary contact information. I'll go ahead and broaden the peramteters a bit here to include: if someone says something you don't agreee with about the best use of Doors music in a film, argue that point and The Powers That Be will consider your arguments as entries as well. Be sure to keep an eye on the site WEDNESDAY JULY 14, when we'll announce who'll be getting the poster and DVD. Be sure to submit your Talkback entries before SUNDAY JULY 11th at 11:59:59pm CST USA. Good luck, and have fun! WHEN YOU'RE STRANGE is now available via Netflix (standard DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD streaming), or it can be purchased (at a pretty nice price) HERE. The picture's official site resides HERE.
