Elvis Presley movies on Blu-ray.

[Rejean31]

As far as I know only 3 of Elvis' 33 movies are out in Blu-ray format. Jailhouse Rock, Viva Las Vegas and Elvis on Tour. Does anyone know if there are plans to release all of Elvis' movies in Blu-ray format?

[filmmusic]

I surely would be interested in them too!
Perhaps a box set like Marilyn Monroe's..

never realized he did 33 films, that is a lot! I have the 3 that have been released on blu so far

[spanky87]

Love Me Tender and King Creole are the top two I would upgrade for.

There hasn't been any news about any other releases yet.Hopefully we won't have to wait to long or for some of his better films to arrive on blu.

Blue Hawaii is a must for me and my wife, great photography, good music and an engaging plot

It's my favorite Elvis movie and I think has the best music. It came out fairly early on DVD so it's disappointing that we haven't seen it on Blu-ray yet.

Thanks to Col. Tom Parker's stifling control of Elvis' career most of these films suffer from being too formulaic albeit commercially successful. A handful of these might warrant an upgrade to blu.

yep!, songs, women, cars, and fights

it is indeed sad that more Elvis films aren't out on bd, but I have noticed that all the Warner controlled titles are available in HD streaming now.
the problem, of course, is that most of the unreleased Warner ones aren't very good.
Paramount controls most of the early better films.
of course now Warner is distributing Paramount, so maybe eventually they will come out, but I'm not holding my breath anymore.

There are quite a few Elvis movies I would like to see get the Blu treatment-

1. Loving You- A charming 50's effort with a great soundtrack and filmed in VistaVision. This could look stunning on Blu.

2. King Creole - A great gritty teenage melodrama set in New Orleans. Great soundtrack. Directed by Michael Curtiz.

3. Flaming Star- This is Elvis's best film, and for once an entirely dramatic role. An anti-racist western directed by the great Don Siegel.

4. Follow That Dream - an enjoyable lightweight comedy in the vein of The Beverly Hillbillies.

5. Girl Happy- Perhaps the most sly and underrated of all Presley movies, this one is a sort of self-conscious satire of his other 60's films, and Elvis is clearly in on the joke. I think his screen chemistry with Shelly Fabares rivals what he had with Ann Margaret in Viva Las Vegas.

6. That's The Way It Is - The concert doc with the best performance footage ever filmed at an Elvis concert.

I also wish Warner would fix that criminally sabotaged intro on the On Tour Blu-Ray, but that probably won't happen.

Go to the Photobucket page of PHOTONPRINCE for a poem, "The Story of Elvis."
It tells the story of the Colonel and Elvis.

Yeah, I'm waiting on King Creole. Hadn't seen any Elvis movies so I rented it a couple years ago; liked it so much I added it to the database.

I'm so glad I waited to buy these I will be getting these as me and mom are elvis fans. Just wondering are these the only 2 Elvis digibooks? Or will more movies and concerts of Elvis be getting a digibook release?

I finally broke down about bought That's the Way It Is on DVD just a couple of months ago. So you can probably thank me for the Blu-ray release.

I wonder, too, but have heard nothing about any others.

The two Elvis films I most want on Blu are IT HAPPENED AT THE WORLD'S FAIR and WILD IN THE COUNTRY (with the back score isolated on an audio track).
