Back from Hell: A Tribute to Sam Kinison (2010)

Sam Kinison is one of the greatest, offensive, and most original comics to ever get on stage. The guy can talk about starving children in Ethiopia and make it hilarious. This documentary (click here to add to your queue) about his life and act was wonderful if you're a big Sam Kinison fan or someone just being introduced to his work. A bunch of other comedians talk about his legacy and fondly remember drug-filled stories about his antics back stage. It was all very funny.

Kinison used to be a preacher and it really shows. His thoughts on religion are very insightful and you can tell he definitely got his charisma and aura from the pulpit. I highly recommend this special whether you're a fan already or curious about that short fat comedian that's always yelling. Check it out, but be warned the language isn't exactly pretty.
