Gimme Five! All-time Favorite Elvis Movies

It's Elvis's birthday, and a fine time to watch your favorite Elvis film. Here are some of mine.

Change of Habit

Three women, keeping secret the fact that they are nuns, are assigned to a ghetto clinic to assist a young doctor who falls in love with one of them. Elvis...and Mary Tyler Moore? The silver screen's oddest couple comes together in this film. The music is forgettable, but the pairing of these two stars is so unlikely, I have to rank this as one of my all time favorite Elvis movies.

Bubba Ho-tep

Mud Creek, Texas, is about to get all shook up. When mysterious deaths plague the Shady Rest retirement home, it's up to "Elvis," its most sequined senior citizen and a black curmudgeon-in-chief, "JFK," to defeat a 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy with a penchant with a penchant for sucking the souls from the barely living. No, Elvis isn't in this one, but there are lots of people who think they ARE Elvis. With Bruce Campbell, of course.

Elvis, That's the Way it is

Captures Elvis backstage, in rehersal and in concert at the International Hotel in Las Vegas in the summer of 1970. Includes 27 songs, including "That's alright Mama," "Little sister," "Love me tender," "Heartbreak Hotel," "Blue suede shoes," "All shook up," "Suspicious minds," and "Can't help falling in love with you."

Blue Hawaii

ElvisPresley plays an ex-GI returning home to Hawaii. His mother wants him to climb the corporate ladder, but his work plans focus on being a tour guide. Lush scenery and songs that include "Blue Hawaii," "Can't help falling in love," and "Rock a hula."

Viva Las Vegas

Musical about race car driver who comes to Las Vegas hoping to win the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Elvis at his peak and Ann-Margret matches him in talent and on screen presence.
