In terms of actually sitting down to watch a Lewis movie these days, I prefer his early solo work (e.g., <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055069/" rel="nofollow">The Ladies Man</a>, or his buddy movies with Martin, as opposed to his later solo work after he and Martin stopped collaborating. I was never much of an Elvis fan, so I can't really comment on whether or not he's stood the test of time, or not. But, ah yes, The Hitler Rap -- I've had this clip on my iPod for ages. One of my favourite video clips ever, in fact.
