What's your favourite Elvis movie? Let us know and will review them soon. Do we even dare to rank the Elvis movies? I'm sure all 3 of us will come up with different answers. That's the beauty of being an Elvis fan - so much variety and personal favourites for us all to enjoy!
My favourite Elvis movie, together with GI Blues! I remember queuing up at the Odeon cinema, in Liverpool, on its first day of release to watch the movie, the queue was massive! Heck the memories come flooding back, then rushing home to play the recently bought album! Brilliant, cheers guys!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, makes me want to watch Blue Hawaii again, after 30 years! It has never been one of my favourite movies, although I did enjoy it as much as I enjoyed all of them when I saw each one when they premiered in Melbourne in the 60s when I was a teen. I was too young in the 50s to go to the movies on my own, and I wasn't aware of Elvis then anyway, as my father wouldn't tolerate rock music in our house, so I didn't see the first four until years later when our fan club were able to hire them and pay a small theatre to project them for our club nights. Sorry Mark, but I wish fans wouldn't blame the Colonel for Elvis's movies. He didn't choose or even read the scripts - Hal Wallis and other studio bosses have said that it was always the studios decision what films any actor starred in, and in Elvis's case, the more music his films had in, the more popular they were with the fans, so naturally that is what they put him in. They were aware of Elvis's wishes for a more serious role, and gave him those roles from time to time, but it didn't work because whatever film you put Elvis in, he was always going to come over as Elvis, he projected such a strong image of himself without even trying. Same with John Wayne - they put him in Westerns because that is what he was best suited to. Errol Flynn was always a pirate or swashbuckler, so it wasn't just Elvis who was typecast. Getting back to Blue Hawaii, I was amused at the comments you guys made about the politically incorrect things said in this film. Geeez, hasn't the world gone stupid in this century.. All the statements you mentioned were completely innocent in the day - nobody thought anything was wrong with them. I still don't. As for wolf whistling - I really miss that! Not that I'd be whistled at nowadays at my age, but when I was younger, we (all of us girls!) would deliberately parade up and down the street in front of building sites to see who got the most whistles! There was no bigger compliment for us
Great show gentlemen! Enjoyed it so much. My favorite movies are Wild in the Country, Follow That Dream, It Happened at the World's Fair, GI Blues, Change of Habit, and King Creole
MY first time watching your show and I thoroughly enjoyed it ❤ I agree with Loving You I watch it at least once a month. I love most of the movies you discussed on this segment. Blue Hawaii has beautiful songs and Elvis was beautiful too. Thanks guys for your review. ❤
Jenny McGuire was 24 when she played the 17 year old, Elli getting spanked- dumb scene but some studio writer was turned on by thinking about it. You guys are such nice fans of Elvis. Thanks for info n trivia about Blue Hawaii. In my top 5, 😂
King Creole was actually the first to be rescanned/released in 4K, they just didn't release it on physical copy. It's idiotic to me because 4K streaming does not actually get you 4K quality. I was hoping the Blue Hawaii 4K disc release would be a success and incentivize them to release King Creole too. But I'm not aware of that :/
