When Bad Santa came out in 2003 it quickly became something of a cult classic. As an antidote to the feel-good nature of most Christmas movies it is hard to fault. Bad Santa casts Billy Bob Thornton as the world's meanest department store santa, being mean to kids in order to rob his employers. It's scabrous, quotable and funny, and a must-see for many each festive season.
You can enjoy catching up with Billy Bob and his little helper by watching Bad Santa online, on TV or on any mobile device. Here's how.
