    No Elvis Movies On TV In The USA

    I've scanned the tv listings (USA) for this evening through August 16th, and I see absolutely ZERO (0) Elvis movies being shown.

    This really angers me

    Not showing any Elvis movies on August 16th is an insult to his memory imo...I'm writing the movie channels (AMC, TCM) and expressing my anger!

    Yes, BBM, I have looked also, nothing!

    AMC and TCM, I'm surprised at them not havng anything.

    I dream a world where man no other man
    will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
    and peace its paths adorn...

    It angers me also. I have been looking forward to Elvis movies. The E channel is offering up (tomorrow afternoon) Last Days of Elvis: THS; Elvis in H'wood - True H'wood Story; Lisa Marie - True H'wood Story. Biography channel tomorrow evening is offering: Elvis N June; Life of Priscilla Presley; Elvis' Entourage; Dead Famous Ghostly Encounters (Elvis Presley's Ghost). So, are you writing a letter to AMC and TCM, or e-mailing?

    Here in Holland there's also nothing of Elvis. What on earth is wrong with all the tv-channels? If they show a movie, it's always the same ones: Fun in Acapulco, Blue Hawaii etc. Why not show the others like: Flaming star, Charro, Wild in the country, Change of habit or so. Not only those stupid so called true stories films told by Priscilla and others. I see them as sensation films nothing more.

    I'm really disgusted too. Do you all realize there have been no special TV Guides or magazines dedicated to Elvis on his birthday or death the last couple of years? What's going on?

    There's nothing on Elvis in Canada either...

    This past weekend there was a few things on, but they should have Elvis on all day tomorrow...I can't believe it!

    I think we need to find a way to let those channels know we aren't happy with this. There is a lot of members on this site, they'd notice if enough people spoke up.

    Personally, I would rather have TCM or AMC run Elvis movies at various times throughout the year (which they have been) then have them run nothing at all until the anniversaries (death, birthday). Then it's the all day marathon, followed by nothing for a year.

    At least in Germany it seems to be something like a wave. A few years ago the TV - stations aired a lot of Elvis movies, especially during the holidays. Now it seems they are showing every film Bud Spencer and Terence Hill did at least twice. Maybe after that they'll return on showing Elvis movies again.

    I cant believe theres no elvis specials on at all. 29 years is a long time and they say time heals ,but there should be something on tv to remember Elvis by.
    There should be TTWI and On Tour followed by Aloha and then finish the day off with the CBS speacial that would encompass the begining to the end of the concerts and the rise and fall of the king.
    Oh I almost forgot the 68 come back too.

    Let this be a lesson for us!

    I think we should start listing websites, adresses and emailadresses of moviechannels throughout the world. This way we can start sending them requests for movies and specials for next year (30th Anniversary!).

    We should do this early in the year, so that they can make time for it (so not start with it in June or July).


    Whta a bummer
