What products/methods work best for this? I've tried windex, newspapers with water and vinegar and costly specialty products. They work - but all leave a film on the glass.

Oven cleaner will work, but be sure to rinse thoroughly and dry completely before building a new fire.
Creosote on the interior of your glass doors indicates a few problems that could become real hazards. It could be a slightly blocked chimney or flue that needs adjustment for proper air flow. The more air flow, the less creosote. Creosote buildup also indicates a need to get the chimney cleaned (a chimney sweep shouldn't cost more than 60-100$ and can inspect the fireplace) asap. Creosote buildup is a highly flammable substance, and a leading cause of house fires caused by fireplace problems. It burns extremely hot and is very hard to put out.
Good luck, and please get the chimney cleaned to be safe.

I used warm soapy water and a brillo pad. Was hard work,but the results were worth it.
