Elvis 7-Film Collection

Jailhouse Rock (1957)

Warden threw a party in the county jail... Perhaps the quintessential Elvis film casts him as construction worker Vince Everett, who’s tossed into jail for killing an angry drunk in a barroom brawl. Learning to play the guitar from a fellow inmate, Vince becomes a recording star after he’s released, but will fame go to his head? Elvis performs a selection of Leiber-Stoller songs, including the title tune, "Treat Me Nice," "(You’re So Square) Baby I Don’t Care," and more. With Mickey Shaughnessy, Judy Tyler. 96 min.

Viva Las Vegas (1964)

In one of his biggest and best films, Elvis Presley is "just a devil with love to spare" as hotel waiter/race car driver Lucky Jackson.

Girl Happy (1965)

It’s musical fun under the sun at spring break in Ft.

Spinout (1966)

With three women out to snare him, racecar driver/singer Mike McCoy (Elvis Presley) sure has his hands full--but what a fun problem to have!
