After gaining some places on the charts last week, there was less movement this week with the wins and loss of places pretty much in balance. Official U.K. charts:

US Book Charts:
Extra charts from the U.S. this week, for the Lisa Marie Presley biography. On the New York Times 'Combined Print and E-Book Nonfiction' bestsellers lists, 'From Here To The Great Unknown' lost 3 spots, dropping to No. 9. On the nonfiction hardcover bestsellers list the memoir remained steady at No. 6. On the Audiobook bestsellers list for November, the book is still listed at No. 2.
The book dropped to No. 11 on Publisher's Weekly Top 10 Non Fiction Hardcover list.
The new Netflix documentary 'Return of the King' is a hit. It made the top 3 on Netflix, rated 97% positive on 'The Decider' and got a 7.6 /10 score on IMDB. The documentary inspired Entertainment Weekly to revisit the King's cinematic footprint as they rank 'Elvis’ 10 best Movie Performances'.
Though renowned for his musical legacy, less respect is given to Elvis Presley’s varied filmography. While many Elvis films haven’t stood the test of time, it would be unfair to say his cinematic career was a flop. His work spawned entire genres of imitators, setting the tone for teenage delinquent and beach party movies in equal measure. The performer turned in more than a dozen exceptional performances on screen between 1956 and 1969.
The 10 Best Elvis Movies:
- King Creole (1958): Directed by Casablanca’s Michael Curtiz is Elvis' best film by a country mile.
- Jailhouse Rock (1957): A rather stunning, surprisingly dark entry as Elvis’ filmography goes. Far more thoughtful and haunting than anyone probably expected from an Elvis movie, Jailhouse Rock remains a high watermark.
- Viva Las Vegas (1964): One of the most rambunctious, fun, and least culturally problematic installments in the King’s filmography.
- Loving You (1957).
- Blue Hawaii (1961).
- Change of Habit (1969).
- Wild in the Country (1961).
- G.I. Blues (1960).
- Love Me Tender (1956).
- Roustabout (1964).
