1958	King Creole	Danny Fisher	Carolyn Jones, Walter Matthau, Dean Jagger, Dolores Hart	Presley's favorite of the films he made.[1] This was also the last Elvis movie filmed in black and white and his last movie before going into the Army. The movie was loosely based on a 1952 novel A Stone for Danny Fisher by Harold Robbins.
1960	G.I. Blues	Tulsa McLean	Juliet Prowse	The 32nd Armored was Presley's regiment when he was in the Army, so it was used for the film.

	Flaming Star	Pacer Burton	Barbara Eden, Steve Forrest, Dolores del Rio, John McIntire	Andy Warhol's famous diptych of Presley as a cowboy came from a shot in this movie.
