(ORIGINAL) "Movie: House of Gucci" Ridley Scott's entertaining 2021 biographical crime drama earned significant acclaim for Lady Gaga's gutsy performance as Patrizia Reggiani Gucci, who goaded introverted husband Maurizio (Adam Driver) into a power play for control of the Gucci fashion brand. An unrecognizable Jared Leto co-stars as hapless designer wannabe Paolo Gucci, with Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, Jack Huston and Salma Hayek also featured in the high-wattage cast.

Florencia Lozano, Jeff Wilbusch and Austin Stowell are also in the cast. (ORIGINAL) The STREAM Scene Where all the top choices can be found in one place!

(ORIGINAL) 10 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • July 31 - August 6, 2022 BEST ELVIS PRESLEY MOVIES "Love Me Tender" (1956)Presley's first movie role turned an average Civil War story into an event – and also got the picture's title altered, thanks to one of the tunes he crooned. "Loving You" (1957)Mirroring Presley's own rise to stardom, this rags-to-riches drama boasts one of his most sensitive performances, before he entered the phase of having his songs hung on threadbare plots. "Jailhouse Rock" (1957) The famous scene with Presley singing, and gyrating to, the title tune says it all about this classic. "Flaming Star" (1960)Guided by director Don Siegel, who later turned Clint Eastwood into Dirty Harry, Presley puts real effort into playing a man of two cultures that clash, putting him in a bind. "Wild in the Country" (1961)Presley and playwright Clifford Odets weren't a typical combination, but credit was due the still-early movie star for being ambitious enough to tackle sophisticated material that would challenge even the most experienced actor. "Blue Hawaii" (1961)You couldn't hope for the islands to look lovelier than in this combination of Elvis showcase and travelogue, also intriguing for Presley raising his acting game opposite a veteran talent by the name of Angela Lansbury. "Kid Galahad" (1962)Presley is sincere as a boxer who succeeds in the ring, though he desires a quieter life. "Fun in Acapulco" (1963)Presley in his prime; Ursula Andress, fresh off being the first "Bond girl"; Mexican locations. What's not to like? "Viva Las Vegas" (1964)Presley's ultimate star vehicle gave him an ideal partner in Ann- Margret and pretty much set the blueprint (he races cars!) for numerous other Elvis movies. This is among the features Turner Classic Movies will show in this year's "Summer Under the Stars" opening-day tribute to Presley on Monday, Aug. 1. "Roustabout" (1964) This arguably was the best of Presley's efforts once he got into more of a cookie-cutter mode (he's a cycle- riding carnival worker!) with his movies. "Charro!" (1969)Commendably, Presley tried to turn his screen career around – but pretty late in the game – by not singing a note in this mature Western. "Elvis: That's the Way It Is" (1970) It's ironic that one of Presley's final movies of fers one of his most dynamic screen appearances, before, during and after a Las Vegas concert performance.
