Favorite Elvis Movies

I will always believe that Elvis would still be with us if "The Colonel" had allowed him to co-star in the remake of "A Star is Born." Parker said that Elvis would never take second-billing to anyone, not even Streisand. E had lost weight and was in the best shape he had been since his TV Comeback special; he was gone within a couple years. I think it broke his heart that he could not prove that he could act.

These movies are almost all fun farces. But watch some of them closely, and you may catch glimpses of talent in the rough.

You'll also find his concert releases below, all are highly recommended.

Viva Las Vegas (DVD)
Viva Las Vegas(VHS)
(1964) Elvis and Ann Margret in Vegas of the sixties. A fun movie, maybe the best of Elvis on film.

Elvis: That's the way it is(DVD)
(1970) 1970 Concert footage.

Aloha from Hawaii (DVD)
(1973) The famous concert broadcast worldwide, a must for every Elvis fan.

Elvis '56 - in the beginning (DVD)
(1987) Chronicles the breakout year.

One Night with You (DVD)
(1968) Elvis unplugged. A few of these songs appeared in the "comeback special," but this is Elvis at his best. A must have for even the casual Elvis fan.

Jailhouse Rock (DVD)
(1957) Great music, featuring several of his early hits.

Blue Hawaii (DVD)
(1961) Elvis loved Hawaii, and Hawaii loved him. Lousy script, but great music including "Blue Hawaii" and "Can't Help Falling in Love."

Girls! Girls! Girls! (DVD)
(1962) The second movie in Hawaii, makes little use of the scenery and very little good music.

Paradise, Hawaiian Style (DVD)
(1966) The last movie in Hawaii, the scenery is better but the music still leaves something to be desired.

Love me Tender (DVD)
(1957) First screen appearance, one of his best films. More like a real movie instead of a way to make more money from his musical success.

Download from Amazon:

King Creole (DVD)
(1958) Some of the King's best acting, but the music is just not good.

GI Blues (DVD)
(1960) First film after getting out of the army.
