Poll question: Favorite Elvis Film
He was the King of Rock and also one of the biggest box office stars of the from 1956-1969. He did tons of cheesy films and horrible films but there are a few gems out of his 33 films.

1. King Creole
Richard Simmons was in it... as a kid. He used to work in a praline shop and claims to have started Elvis on his way to chubbiness by selling him pralines.

Pralines and beignets.... damn I love New Orleans!

2. "Kissing Cousins"
It was the first Elvis movie I ever saw(It was like 15 years ago)...I loved the whole idea of a gang of hot chicks running through someones mountain home trying to "have there way" with the boys.

I guess I still do. ;)

11. Another "None"
Having a favorite implies that at least one of them was easier to sit through than oral surgery. bleh.

I share the same sentiment. Just different degrees of "terribleness".

10. Wasn't Roustabout the one with Barbara Stanwyck?
I saw it when I was a kid...but I recalled that she was in it.

Not a bad movie.

14. yep
it is one of his better later films, imo. Anything with Stanwyck can't be all bad.

15. Almost true about Stanwyck
I STILL don't understand why she did that horrible spinoff from "Dynasty"..."The Colbys".

ICK.
