Another Elvis portrayal that I think is in the conversation was Kurt Russell in John Carpenter's Elvis movie from 1979. It's not a great movie, but Russell is great in it, and it was the start of the Carpenter-Russell partnership. Without that movie, we may not have gotten Escape From New York, The Thing or Big Trouble in Little China.

But honestly, even though it's a basic and boring take, Austin Butler probably is best portrayal of Elvis on film. I didn't love that movie either, but he was great.

Oh man, I think you should dress up as Rick O’Connell, Brendan Fraser’s character from The Mummy movies for Halloween this year. With the suspenders and the scarf. If you do, I could go as Imhotep.
