1) Viva Las Vegas - One of Elvis's most famous movies is Viva Las Vegas. The release date was May 20^th 1965. It starred of course Elvis Presley and also starring is Ann Margaret. Elvis plays Lucky Jackson, a race car driver preparing to race in the Grand Prix. Elvis works as waiter in Vegas to pay for the engine he needs for the race car. He starts romancing Rusty Martin a beautiful young woman played by Ann Margaret. Like all Elvis movies it is filled with lots of singing by Elvis and some by Ann Margaret. The duo have great chemistry on the screen. Whenever I think about Las Vegas themed movies Viva Las Vegas is the first to come to my mind.
