You'll be surprised how many of your students already know him and your local library probably has some of the "Best of..." volumes. Also good is "Wallace & Grommit in Wrong Trousers", a fabulous hour of claymation by Nick Parks, (who went on to do "Chicken Run"). It has a lot of "Briticisms", but you can ignore most of that and focus on the story- great visuals and great visual comedy. Oxford University Press has put together a workbook to go with it. http://www.oup-usa.org/esl/docs/0194590291.html. The workbook is more an Intermediate level, but it can be a valuable resource.
