There doesn’t seem to be any end to the world’s appetite for all things Elvis Presley. That was reinforced by the popularity of Baz Luhrmann’s 2022 movie, Elvis, which has been nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Austin Butler. While Butler is terrific in that role, younger fans should also see the real Elvis in action.

If you’re an Elvis Presley devotee, or simply curious to learn more about “The King,” HBO Max has a treat for you. Just in time for the Oscars, the streaming service has added a collection of eight films either starring or about Elvis to its lineup.

Beginning Wednesday (3/1), you’ll be able to watch Luhrmann’s movie, as well as two concert films, two documentaries, and three movies that Elvis starred in during the 1950s and ’60s. According to The Wrap, HBO Max has included the classics Jailhouse Rock and Viva Las Vegas. See the full list below.
