Bad Santa (2003)
Screenplay by: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa, and Arnie Marx
The true meaning of Christmas doesn’t have to be told through a feel-good story. Take it from Bad Santa, a crude tale about a professional thief and department store Santa who has to learn about the true meaning of the season after accidentally becoming a stand-in father.
This black comedy has become an iconic holiday movie for adults because of its Christmas spirit, which is buried deep under the lude comedy that no child is ready to hear. Similar to the Grinch, Willie’s (Billy Bob Thornton) heart grows three sizes by the end of this tale as he learns that the true meaning of Christmas is being around people you love and doing the right thing.
