 A very weak collection December 29, 2009
Anton Karidian (Tennessee)
I'm an Elvis fan, so I don't enjoy criticizing his work, yet I would rather do that than to have some unsuspecting customer get ripped off. Why is it that so many movie collections like this are NOT among the best films of some actor, yet packaged as though they were? NONE of these movies is among the best of Elvis's career, yet it's given the title ELVIS - THE HOLLYWOOD COLLECTION!! Look these up in a good movie guide and see what I mean. ALL of them have very weak scripts, and if you like hearing him sing in his films, most (see exception below) don't have music to recommend them either since most of the songs in these are pretty bad.
At least "Charro" and "Stay Away, Joe" from the late-60s are a departure from the stale "beach movie" types of films Elvis was stuck in by the mid-60s, yet "Stay Away, Joe" is VERY strange, and Elvis's character in it is an insult to Native Americans. I think the western "Charro" is a little better than the usually very negative reviews that it gets, although in it he sings only the title song. Another from the late-60s, "Live a Little, Love a Little," has some decent scenes and songs (such as "Almost in Love," "A Little Less Conversation," and "The Edge of Reality") as well as good chemistry between Elvis and his co-star, Michele Carey, and for his films is unusually frank in dealing with sexual matters. Yet again, the movie is undermined by a poor script. That film, as well as "Charro" and "Girl Happy," are tolerable if you're looking for some of his mid-quality films at a reasonable price.
So unless you're either an Elvis completest or you already know you like these films, stick to his best: King Creole, Wild in the Country, Follow That Dream, Jailhouse Rock (Deluxe Edition), Loving You, Flaming Star, and maybe Viva Las Vegas (Deluxe Edition).

I love Elvis the performer and actor. His movies are fun to watch as well as entertaining and the music he sings is always great.

Just what I was looking for August 27, 2008

My son collects Elvis movies and I was very excited that this collection contained movies he did not yet have. I got it for him for his birthday.
I have not watched these movies so cannot rate the quality. Thanks for having this product available.
 But what if I want to buy all of Warner's Elvis DVDs? April 6, 2008
Matthew A. Riggs (Indianapolis, IN)
What is going on here, Warner Brothers? You guys normally do such great work with DVD releases. You have sixteen Elvis Presley titles; PUT THEM ALL IN ONE BOX SET! You currently offer no less than four box sets, no combination of which would give the consumer all 16 titles! I could get half of the titles if I bought the Blue Suede Collection. But this set overlaps each of the other three, leaving me with eight other individual titles to purchase. Or I could buy the Signature Collection and The Hollywood Collection, which combine to give me 12 of the 16 titles. Unfortunately, the Signature Collection is an older set, and it does not feature the new 2007 re-release versions of the DVDs. And even if I bought all three of those sets, I would STILL have to purchase Double Trouble and The Trouble With Girls separately. MGM has all four of their Elvis films in one box; and Paramount has all eight of their Elvis titles available in one box set. Come on Warner, help a guy out!
