This is a great thread by the way. I'm hoping there are a few flicks on here that I may have overlooked throughout the years.

There was also a movie with Toluse Lautrec in it that I enjoyed but I can't remember the name of it

Hmm. Good question. Since it's Jim Morrison, I say yes, it does count.

Right on
ETA not to mention Jim dropped acid with Andy Warhol in the movie so you had a writer and an artist in one big clusterfrick of creativity
