Bad Santa (2003)
A terrific black comedy in which Billy Bob Thornton plays a crooked department store Santa whose always drunk and alongside 'midget' helper Marcus (Tony Cox) every year rob the store they work in on Christmas Eve.
Often tasteless, rude and offensive, Bad Santa is glorious festive fun. Thornton and Cox are excellent whilst supporting cast Lauren Graham, John Ritter, Bernie Mac and Brett Kelly as the snot nosed kid Thornton moves in with, really make this a Christmas classic.
