Watchlist:

In 1970, a few days before Christmas, Elvis Presley showed up on the White House lawn seeking to be deputized into the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs by the President himself.

Why you might like this:

Elvis & Nixon from 2016 offers a delightfully offbeat blend of comedy and drama, with standout performances from Kevin Spacey and Michael Shannon as the iconic Elvis and the increasingly exasperated President Nixon. Director Liza Johnson brings a unique visual style that perfectly captures the surreal meeting of these two larger-than-life figures.
