Cellar Door is the fourth album by John Vanderslice, released in 2004. The album contains a few songs based on then-recent films: "Promising Actress" is about Mullholland Drive and "When It Hits My Blood" narrates Requiem For A Dream.

The album's name, "cellar door", is one of the most beautiful phrases in the English language, according to J.R.R. Tolkien.
