Summary
Oliver Stone's biographical drama traces the rise and fall of Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors, from his days as a UCLA film student in mid-1960s Los Angeles to his emergence as a rock icon. The film follows the band's formation with Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore, their explosive success, and Morrison's turbulent relationship with Pamela Courson as drugs, alcohol, and self-destructive excess consume him.
The Doors (1991) is a film IMDb files under the biography, drama and music genres.
209 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 216 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 4,081 1990s films, not against the whole corpus.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where The Doors lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1990s (4,082 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 209.
