Happy 75th Birthday, ELVIS!

I have always loved Elvis Presley's music. There isn't a song of his that I don't like. One thing that I want to do is see ALL of his movies, which I haven't done. I have a couple of them taped from his all day TCM birthday salute, in addition to, a couple of documentaries.
If I had to pick my favorite Elvis film, it would probably be "Jailhouse Rock". I get a kick out of two great lines that he says in this movie. He goes to a party with his record executive friend. The exec's parents are throwing a party. A bunch of stuffed shirts. A discussion comes up about some crap, and the mother asks Elvis his opinion. He responds, "Lady, I don't know what the hell you're talking about", and walks out of the house. AWESOME! Then, he makes a pass at his "business" friend. She says, "How dare you try such cheap tactics on me!". Elvis comes back with, "Those ain't tactics honey. Thats just the beast in me". COOL!
HAPPY 75th BIRTHDAY, ELVIS!
