You can now stream ‘Elvis’ and other new movies online

Now that it has been 45 years since Elvis Presley died, fans can relive the music icon’s story in Prime Video’s biopic, Elvis.

He wanted to do serious movies, and Colonel Parker might have been a better publicist if he had stayed as his manager.
