"Elvis" (1968): "Elvis" started its life as a Christmas TV special consisting of nothing but holiday songs. That was before director Steve Binder persuaded the King to ditch the carols and rock, which he did with a fervor he'd lost during a decade of bad movies. The only remnant of the original concept comes on a mean version of "Blue Christmas," but it'll nonethless put you in a jolly mood. — STEVE POND
