Emirates passengers can now watch a host of acclaimed documentaries and movies featuring the late Queen Elizabeth II, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles, on the ice inflight entertainment system this month.

The ice line-up includes exclusive brand-new releases such as Elizabeth: A Portrait in Parts- a tribute that charts the life of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning British monarch and longest serving female head of state in history. Weaving together a nostalgic montage of footage of the Queen over 70 years, the viewer is transported on a creative and emotive journey through her lifetime.

Passengers can also enjoy the critically acclaimed 2022 movie – Elvis, a Baz Luhrmann directed biographical musical drama, which has already been a blockbuster hit. True Elvis Presley fans can further immerse themselves in his extraordinary musical career with the Elvis Spotlight Collection featuring six of his classic movies; Jailhouse Rock (1957), It Happened at the World's Fair (1963), Viva Las Vegas! (1964), Tickle Me (1965), Speedway (1968) and Live a Little, Love a Little (1968). A further two documentaries on the rock and roll star including ‘Making the Movies Special - Elvis + Music in Films’ and ‘Classic Albums: Elvis Presley’ are available to watch on ice.

Music fans can explore of the one of the world’s most influential bands, Brit rock and roll foursome - The Beatles, in a new documentary, The Beatles and India. The film is a unique historical chronicle of the enduring love affair between The Beatles and India featuring rare archival footage, photographs, eye-witness accounts, and expert comments on the contrast between their fast-paced celebrity lives in the West and their search for spiritual bliss in India, which lead to an inspirational burst of creative song-writing.

Action aficionados will enjoy a new documentary entitled Val, which examines the life, career, and health struggles of Hollywood star Val Kilmer, in addition to the box office busting 2022 Top Gun Maverick movie and the original Top Gun (1986) starring the actor, both available on ice.
