Great idea, Chris......Looks like so far anyway, Girl Happy has taken the lead in 1960 - 1965 category, a 3-way tie in the 1966 - 1969 category (Spinout, Live A Little, Change of Habit) and another 3-way tie in the 50's category (Loving You, Jailhouse Rock, King Creole).......Will be very interested to see the final results!

G.I Blues, Spinout and King Creole were my choices. Cool rockin' soundtrack to Spinout that has long been a favourite. G.I Blues was probably the first movie i watched, and King Creole is his best bar none IMO [img]style_emoticons/default/dance.gif[/img]

It is alway hard when asked to pick a favourite as they are all kinda brilliant in their own way and not all for the same reasons, the straighter films like flaming star, charro, change of habit and such showed that Elvis could act in his own way and the silly one spinout, speedway for instance showed a fun side

I can't believe that no one has voted for Follow That Dream. I would have but didn't see it [img]style_emoticons/default/blush.gif[/img] . To me, this is one of his best! Like Neil said, they are Brilliant in their own way though [img]style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif[/img]

Sorry Chris but I'm having trouble with this vote.So I haven't
voted yet.I'm going to have to think about it [img]style_emoticons/default/undecided.gif[/img]
Out of the 50's films I like Jailhouse Rock the best.

50's:Jailhouse rock.-He looked so cool in it,great acting,awesome songs,great dialogues.
Harum Scarum:Don't know why i choose this,it was a toss up with this and Acapulco.
I think he's acting is so much better then in GI Blues for example(it's not THAT great tough [img]style_emoticons/default/smile.gif[/img] ),but i really digg the soundtrack of Harum Scarum,it's so different.
Double trouble:Being from Belgium,it's funny to see him in a fake Belgium.
Like the story and the songs too,he's so funny in it.
With the exeption of Paradise Hawaiian style(wich i really don't care for [img]style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif[/img] )all his 60's vehicles are good lighthearted enterainment,and that's fine be me. [img]style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif[/img]

Great Poll Chris
I voted for Jailhouse Rock (my absolute fav), Roustabout and Change of Habit. I love the character of Vince Everett. I think Change of Habit was the only movie that Elvis didn't get the girl and Roustabout is a fun movie.

In the 1960 - 65 category, I chose "Wild in the Country." I chose "The Trouble with Girls" from the 1966 - 69 category, not because it's my favorite, but because it's the only movie from that time period I've actually seen! For the '50s, I chose "Loving You."

66-69 Change of Habit

I like almost all movies so it was hard to make a choice, but I think that Charro is a way underestimated movie.

As expected...very close indeed. Shows that people do have different favourites....and thats great. With the exception of Change Of Habit...which seems a very popular choice. Not at all suprising to me, as its a cool movie...but ask a film critic [img]style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif[/img]

Kid Galahad (in my opinion the best Elvis Movie in the 60s)
Charro
King Creole

King Creole (best performance)
Tickle me (great soundtrack, a fun silly movie)
Change of Habit (Elvis looks his best and it's nice to see him in a somewhat real environment)

Favorite dramatic role would be King Creole
Favorite comedy would obviously be Follow That Dream

I agree totally Matt...although I would have to throw in Tickle Me" so dumb it's funny and also one of the best soundtracks

i have to admit that after 36 odd years of being a fan that i am yet to fullly watch many of E.P.'s movies , as i only watched 3 jailhouse, king creole, and love me tender, and of course the doc's , but i am yet to actually sit down and watch the rest from start to finnish, it sure is hard for me to think of ELVIS as an actor especially considering that most say his movies were pretty dismal, are there any that you all would recommend from the lot , that are worth a second look?

Many mention Flaming Star, which i didn't particularly enjoy.
i must admit i like the easygoing Girl Happy and Live A Little Love A Little abit more than the other 60's movies.
I think GI and Blue Hawaii are 2 others you should find the time to watch.
I still need to watch a couple myself including Charro, Tickle Me and Stay Away Joe.

I liked IHATWF and just recently watched Harum Scarum which had some action in it. I would recommend both of those!
