ELVIS PRESLEY MOVIES

Elvis starred in a total of 31 movies in his lifetime, and actually spent most of the 1960's making films.  Some of his films are good, some are not so great.  All made a financial profit, though, because Elvis fans went to see them in large quantities.  In almost all the movies we see the King singing a lot of songs, and the soundtracks of the movies usually sold well afterwards.

As the quality of his movies went down in the 1960s, Elvis started live concerts again, inspired by his successful TV show in 1968 and a month-long triumphantly succesful concert series in Las Vegas in 1969.  He continued touring in concerts till his death in 1977.

Even though critics do not generally appraise Elvis films, they are one more opportunity for fans to see and hear him.  Click on movie titles below to read a brief summary and see a few pictures from the movie.
