Bad Santa (Unrated/Director's Cut) [Blu-ray]
The Unrated Version AND Director's Cut - 2 Complete Versions You Didn't See in Theatres!
The Christmas season just got a lot less joyous in this very dark comedy. Willie T. Soke (Billy Bob Thornton) is a con man and a thief who teams up with his friend Marcus (Tony Cox), a midget, for a very special scam each year during the holiday season. Willie gets a job as Santa Claus at a shopping mall, his pal tags along as an elf, and they use their employee status to crack mall security and rob stores blind just before Christmas. However, there's one flaw to this plan — Willie is a bitter, foul-mouthed and perpetually grouchy alcoholic who doesn't care for kids, and it's all he can do to keep himself from getting fired while on the job. The mall's manager (John Ritter, in his last film appearance) is certain something's wrong with the Santa he's hired, so he asks the mall's chief of security (Bernie Mac) to do some research on Willie. Meanwhile, one of the kids Willie is forced to talk to becomes a regular customer; overweight, awkward, and the frequent target of bullies, the boy manages to arouse something like sympathy from Willie, who tries to give him some advice and develops something vaguely resembling Christmas sprit along the way. Bad Santa was directed by Terry Zwigoff, who enjoyed previous success with Crumb and Ghost World.

Soooooo Funny....Sooooo Wrong - ABC99
There is something about anti-sentimental film. This movie is hilarious, and oh so wrong. Watching bad people do bad things on Christmas is funny. Billy Bob Thorton as an alchoholic thief Santa is funny. This movie is really funny but please not for the kids. It is offensive (in a good way) and will lead to long talks afterwards
