EIN's winner for clever TV programming on Jan 8th -
'Wild At Heart' is the best Elvis movie that Elvis Presley never made! Made in 1990 and staring, once husband to Lisa Marie and "Elvis collector" Nicolas Cage. When Nic Cage gets down and sings 'Love Me' to Laura Dern it is an absolute classic 'Elvis moment'. Elvis should have come out of hiding to make this flick!
