Does anyone know a film about Elvis Presley's life?

This question came up during a discussion. Thousands and thousands of Elvis doubles but no one remembers a film. I find it quite strange that someone so famous and important has been ignored so far.

I know one called
"This is Elvis" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083193/
I remember my mother recordered on a video tape when
I was about 8-9 yrs old

Elvis, starring Kurt Russell as the King and directed by John Carpenter (yes, you read that right) is probably the best of the lot.

That was a good film, but here's my favorite: Elvis Meets Nixon. Here's one of my favorite scenes.

The movie tells the story of how this famous photo came about:

After Elvis passed and disco went where ever it went.

The Large Shirt Collar industry must have died also. :p
