Tired of the mushy, romantic holiday spirited films that are about to inundate our TV screens? Then grab your blanket, cat or partner and prepare for the more alternative movies centered around this most wonderful time of year. Bad Santa (2003) If a drunk Santa Claus pissing his pants in front of children doesn’t kick the festive spirit out of you then the depressive mood will have drained it away by the time the credits roll. Billy Bob Thornton stars as a drunken department store Santa Claus/conman who, together with his Elf partner in crime Marcus (Tony Cox), spreads the Christmas spirit by day and robs the store by night. This seemingly perfect set up is ruined when Willie (Thornton) befriends an 8 year old boy, not your average cute kid, but an overweight preteen who latches himself onto Santa like a leech and won’t let go. Thornton’s portrayal is brilliantly twisted as the foul mouthed, unkempt and angry Santa. His chronic use of the f-word combined with kicking a reindeer over in his Santa suit and drinking just before his act as Santa Claus makes this the best worst Christmas movie yet.
