"Double Trouble" (Warner Brothers VCD).
Double Trouble, Elvis' 23rd film, found its way to the nation's theatres just one month ahead of Elvis' marriage to Priscilla Beaulieu. While Elvis' filmmaking activities kept him continuously busy, he strived to remain a very private person. Elvis kept very much to himself and his close circle of friends, shunning the glamour of Hollywood for the simpler life he enjoyed at home. It even prevented him from attending the premieres of his own films. The Story; When suave American singing sensation Guy Lambert, packs his bags for Europe, little does he suspect that this tour will include stops along the way with spies, counterspies, jewel thieves and two lovely foreign femmes! It's a madcap European escapade featuring nine great songs including "Long Legged Girl,""Could I Fall In Love" and "There's So Much World To See."

"Blue Hawaii"

"G.I. Blues"

"Fun In Acapulco"

"Wild In The Country" (20th Century Fox VCD).
Presley specialized in playing the bad boy, and this is Elvis at his baddest ! "Wild In The Country" features one of Elvis' greatest and most overlooked roles; a rebellious backwoods delinquent gifted with a rare literary talent. Hope Lange is the sympathetic psychiatrist who tries to help Elvis, Tuesday Weld is the King's seductive cousin, and Millie Perkins portrays his childhood sweetheart. Boasting a screenplay by Clifford Odets, this is perhaps the sexiest and most passionate of all Presley films, and includes a quartet of hit songs, including; "I Slipped, I Stumbled, I Fell," "Lonely Man," and "Wild In The Country"is Elvis at his wildest, his baddest and his best.

"Charro" (Feature Films VCD).
Charro opened nationally in theatres on March 13, 1969 as Elvis' twenty ninth movie. Elvis' only singing in this western comes in the opening credits, as he sings "Charro." Shot mostly on location in and around the Superstition Mountains, near Phoenix, Arizona, was the only movie in which Elvis wore a beard.

"Love Me Tender" (20th Century Fox "coloured VCD).
"Love Me Tender" marked the screen debut of Elvis Presley...and what an excellent debut. With a fast and exciting plot and an unusual and compelling role for Elvis. This film ranks among the best of the many Elvis films. Set during the Civil War, this tale of a confederate family torn by jealousy and greeg is a strong, gripping drama. With Elvis giving an outstanding performance as a troubled youth battling passions which run far too deep to be settled peacefully. True to audience expectations, Elvis sings four great songs as only he can render them; "Poor Boy," "We're Gonna Move,"Let Me," and of course the smash-hit title song "Love Me Tender.

"Flaming Star" (20th Century Fox VCD).
West Texas in the years after the Civil War is an un-easy meeting ground of two cultures, one white, the other native American. Elvis portrays Pacer Burton, the son of a white rancher (John McIntire) and his beautiful Liowa Indian wife (Dolores Del Rio). When fighting breaks out between the settlers and natives, Pacer act as a peace maker, but the "Flaming Star of death" pulls him irrevocably into the deadly violence. Co-starring Barbara Eden, the soundtrack features Elvis's hounting perform-ance of the title song. Considered by many critics as Elvis's best screen performance, this moving portrayal of a man caught between two cultures makes "Flaming Star" a monumental Presley classic.

There, Vince learns to belt out tunes instead of saloon patrons and after being paroled, follows a bumpy road to music and movie sucess. Six Presley songs by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller spike the story, including Treat Me Nice, I Wanna Be Free, You're So Youg And Beautiful and the shimmy-shakin' title tune that was Elvis' favorite of all his films' production numbers.
