Bad Santa (2003)

Good old Billy Bob Thornton is a conman pretending to be Santa. The offenses and obscenity are piled way up high (a colleague began her review: "a Christmas movie Lenny Bruce could love"). The appeal of Terry Zwigoff's movie endures: It's a scurrilous gem pretending to be a lump of coal.
