If you love Elvis, can't get to Hawaii and want to escape to happier, sillier times, this DVD is the one. Don't expect too much of a storyline for either movie, just sit back, enjoy the scenery and Elvis' dreamy voice and smile.

This is an awesome DVD! Two of the best Elvis movies on one disc!!! And how can it get any better than Elvis in Hawaii? Blue Hawaii has been a favorite of mine since I was a child, it contains one of my favorite Elvis songs, Can't Help Falling in Love. If you love Elvis, you will love these movies!

THIS IS A GREAT BUY FOR ALL THE ELVIS FANS AND HAWAIIAN FANS. IF YOU LIKE ELVIS AND HAWAII I RECOMMEND YOU WATCH.

I simply love Elvis movies. Great to watch and bring happy memories! Hawaiian melodies are simply enticing. Elvis shines on this movie!

Beautiful, lush, tropical settings in Hawaii with a young, handsome, sexy guy with a beautiful romantic voice who can make you sigh and make you dance...Who could ask for anything more? Both Blue Hawaii and Paradise Hawaiin Style are light on story content, but big on entertainment. It is what it is -- pleasant fun for the whole family...A fighting, stand up for your rights Elvis for the guys, a romantic, sexy Elvis for the girls, and a fun loving, kid at heart Elvis for the little ones! Aloha, Mahalo and Enjoy!

excellent in wide screen. Blue Hawaii has alaong been my favorite Elvis movie. The Hawaiian Wedding Song as they float down the stream, what a dream wedding.

Blue Hawaii is a wonderful tourist video of Hawaii and has a cute story line. Paradise also has a decent story line, but has way toooooo much singing for me. Still, this is a good pick if you like Elvis movies and beautiful scenery.

Blue Hawaii is classic and essential Elvis. Great beach party goofs with a great soundtrack.

Paradise, Hawaiian Style--on the other side of the ocean--is a really terrible knock-off of Blue Hawaii, which Elvis shouldn't have done.

The plot and the music are sub-standard when compared to Blue Hawaii, and for some strange reason Elvis's hair is visually died extra/extra black and super slick/greasy looking.

Anyway, this collection is worth buying for Blue Hawaii and it's reasonably priced, so just skip Paradise, unless you're a completist.

Just what I expected. A good thing in this case. Keep up the good work.

"Blue Hawaii" is one of Elvis Presley's most popular films. The only reason I can come up with is that it includes the classic 'Can't Help Falling In Love', one of his best ballads. Otherwise, it's a mediocre film, the one that cemented the "Elvis movie" genre, and the first one Presley himself would loathe. But he plays along, and it's not nearly as bad as most of the musicals that would follow.
One of these is the next film here, "Paradise Hawaiian Style". Quite possibly the worst movie he ever made, with horrible songs, no story to speak of, bad camerawork, etc. etc. Elvis shows his disgust, not even bothering to pretend to be enjoying himself. What's more, Elvis is notably overweight and obviously out of it (not that anyone could blame him). It's sad to watch this movie and see the state of his career in 1966. Noone else could have survived a movie this horrendous.
But both of these films are here for a low price, so the Elvis devoted among us can add this set to their shelf without losing much money doing it.
