Hmm. Interesting. I managed to make it thru all of EP's movies. I did skip/browse thru some of the weaker ones-Charro comes to mind(bad!). Change of Habit I watched all the way thru since it was his last film(as an actor). And also because I remember my mother took me to see it in '69 or '70. I was around 9. Why it was just her and me I can't remember. Why it was an Elvis movie I can't remember either, he wasn't spoken of much in my home as a kid. I guess it was a random happening. All I remember was it was more serious of a role for him than I was used to hearing about at the time, and I saw it with my mom. Now having watched it in the future, it was a little more intense for 1969 than I remembered. With references and words involving sex, racism and drug abuse. For '69 and with Elvis(and MT Moore), that was pushing "Easy Rider" territory for both of them. I guess my fav. will be "Love me Tender" since he acted so well.....pretty much as good as Sean Penn or whoever in recent times. But the "fun" ones: the racing movies. Whether cars or boats. "Kissin' Cousins" bordered on X rated for that era. Well, fun stuff......about half of it. My 2 pesos worth. Jim

 

They are fun stuff... half of it like you said. And they make you feel good at least that' s how they made me feel.

My fav. Love Me Tender,Jailhouse Rock, King Creole, Viva Las Vegas,Blue Hawaii and Change Of Habit.

Love Me Tender is one of my faves too. :wub:

Hello. I finally got a copy of Elvis:The Movie 1979. I'm convinced no one could have done the job other than Kurt Russell. It was very good, although I saw it in "the day"once(I love it when he shoots the TV). I found it interesting that EP talked to his twin brother even towards the end. The only thing was, there was no mention of the pills. In 1979 they could have at least shown a shot of some pill bottles on a shelf without any network controversy. It was a fine 2.5 hour movie that documented his life and Kurt was fandamtastic. There was only one scene with him cuddling his daughter at the piano, other than that, his child was absent in the story(except birth). Well, I enjoyed it, I hope my new "Preslarian" freinds all have this movie on DVD, VHS etc....It's good. Highly reccommended.........A fine visual of "the King's" life.

Duh! Sorry. That movie ended with EP in 1969. Hence no drug use. Sorry for my lack of research. Jim

No worries, Jim, believe me, I'm no expert on Elvis movies or anything else, come to that, but it's great to find out new things

Well, now the problem is: payday has come. I want a -nice- copy of Kissin' Cousins LP. I need to slow down on my Vinyl spending. But I suppose I won't!

And what did you do, Jim? I reckon the vinyl won :dance:
