I just came across this DVD '200 Cadillacs' from 2004 and would like to ask if anyone of you has seen it and what you think about it. Is it worth buying it? :hmm:

I saw it in a shop few years ago, and decided not to buy it, just a gut feeling that I wouldn't watch it more than once (especially since the topic is so narrow, his generosity), and there's a limit on how many dvd's about him that I want to own as I prefer books about him. However, I would recommend that you would read reviews and it will be interesting what others here will have to say about this dvd

Definitely worth getting.

There are a lot of rare pictures, and some great stories from people who either sold him cars, or received cars from him.

I've watched it two or three times now. (y)

I watched it on the Documentary channel, expecting nothing, and ended up
thinking it was a pretty well done film which was shot with a entirely positive slant on a man that isn't portrayed that way that often these days. I enjoyed it
and ended up recording it on one of the other showings.

That really sounds good. I have never heard of this documentary before, neither somebody talk about it. And I didn't know exactly what to think about this review. Thank's again everyone :D

I got it and enjoyed it very much. Like you all said really good stories and
pictures. After watching it I also bought the soundtrack which I also found
good, all songs are about and for Elvis. My favourites are those written
and performed by Rex Fowler, especially 'Shine A Little Light On Elvis' just blew
me away (y).

Just to echo what others have said, this is recommended viewing. I haven't popped it in for quite some time myself but I've probably watched it three or four times.

Something that stands out in my mind and has also already been said is that there are some really cool photos. But get it for the stories. Even if you may have heard them before, hearing them from the people who experienced them is nice.
