List of films that most frequently use the word "fuck"
The use of profanity in films has always been controversial, but has increased significantly in recent years.[1][2] The use of the word fuck in film draws particular criticism; in 2005, the documentary Fuck dealt entirely with this phenomenon.[3] The word "fuck" is thought to be the taboo term used most in American film.[4] The 1927 Motion Picture Production Code, better known as the "Hays Code", banned the use of profanity outright.[5] It was not until 1968 that the Motion Picture Association of America established a system of ratings to use as a guide to determine the appropriateness of a movie's content.[6] In 1970, M*A*S*H became the first American film to use the word fuck.[7]
The MPAA rating system assigns a PG-13 rating if a film contains the word.[8] The R rating is normally required if the film contains more than one utterance or if the word is used in a sexual context; however, there are exceptions to this rule. In some cases, filmmakers appealed the rating because their target audience might avoid an R-rated film. Censors have been more lenient about the word in films that portray historical events.[8] The ratings system is voluntary; there is no legal requirement that filmmakers submit their movies to be rated.[6]
This is a list of non-pornographic, English language feature films containing at least 150 spoken uses of the word "fuck" (or one of its derivatives), ordered by the number of such uses.
