Anybody else a fan of Elvis movies

Andy Griffith's performance in 'A Face In The Crowd' is incredible.

Elvis movies blow, but I agree, are very fun musicals. And I enjoy the nostalgic dated backdrops to Vegas, Acapulco, etc..

Love old classic films for the same sentiments. Love Turner Classics, and loved AMC when Nick Clooney hosted the old B&W films.

viva las vegas is the only one I've seen...but what's not to love about Elvis?

I loved Graceland and all it's cheesy greatness.

Also, I named my horse King Creole :)

When we were kids, we used to love the Elvis movies and the "Beach" movies (Beach, Blanket, Bingo, etc.)

Giving away my age now.

Is this a "must watch"? I never hear an Andy Griffith conversation without hearing about Lonesome Rhodes.

As big as an Elvis fan as I am, I have never actually watched one of his movies all the way through.

King Creole
Jailhouse Rock
Viva Las Vegas
Flaming Star

Watch those and don't worry about the rest.

Yeah a bunch of them are pretty bad but I enjoy a good bit of them. King Creole is by far my favorite and one of my favorite movies from the 50's. It's one of the few believable Elvis movies instead of a surfer who's also a Indy car driver who sings during pit stops and roofer all in one. I also really like Kid Gallahad, probably my second favorite. Flaming Star and Jail House Rock are pretty good too. Fun In Acupulco is fun solely off of Ursula Andress.

Blue Hawaii!

Viva Las Vegas FTW
