Saw this article... http://news.yahoo.com/10-old-fashioned-swears-spice-cussin-070500556.html... and have to ask the question, what is the funniest/most clever cussout or curse you can think of in a flick?
No, the F-bomb and S%*& don't count. Too simple minded, as the article points out.
I mean one that impressed you with it's sense of style.
If you remember the Argument clinic by Monty Python, you get the drift. And don't be a snotty nosed heap of parrot droppings...
I always liked the Neverland Feast scene from Hook:
The cussing starts about halfway through:

Planes, Trains & Automobiles (this clip fades out just a bit too early to catch the kicker, but still):

Shaun of the Dead:

and, perhaps my favorite - In Bruges:

These last two, I took the "You Tube" tags off as the titles included the curse words in them, and I know that's a no no here!
Also, the entirety of the movie In The Loop is like a master class in cussing...
Any of the enormous amount of profanity in "The Big Lebowski" is memorable and hilarious too.

I also have to give mention to the 1994 comedy classic "Clerks" and this scene in particular.

Not really a cuss but more of an insult. I believe it's in the movie Evil Laugh (with Scott Baio's brother, Steven) that two idiots are arguing in a car and one turns to the other and calls him a BUTT SNIFF!! The movie is pretty stupid but getting Butt Sniff out of it was worth it. I suppose the term probably existed before, but it's the first and only time I heard it used in a sentence not referring to a dog.
I recently saw the remake of The Bad Lieutenant ( which is dreadful ) but had the WORST cuss I have heard in it twice no less where good ol' Nick Cage's character calls someone a $h!+ Bird and the goes on to call them a S@*^ Turd!!!!! What do they even mean?
The cussing (or not cussing) scene in Misery really sicks in my mind....
She just so, bad, at it.

Oh! In My Best Fiend, which is a Werner (hehe I almost wrote Weiner) Herzog documentary about Klaus Kinski, Klaus tells him something like "You can lick my ass I am going to smack your face!" HAHA!!
John Wayne, as Rooster Cogburn in the 1969 version of "True Grit," confronting the four members of the "Lucky" Ned Pepper gang across the field, before charging towards them.
"Fill your hands, you s.o.b."
Of course, he didn't say s.o.b. in the film, but you don't get cussin' much better than that.
Frankly my dear-I dont give a damn.

In the Return of Captain Invincible there's a scene where the President gets fed up with listening to his various military advisors and ... well ... watch.

Warning, there is cussing.
10 minutes of glorious hatred:

Raffine turned me on to BAD LIEUTENANT:PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS-which is NOT a remake-its an original work by Werner Herzog who is a genuis, IMHO.I love it.He's a scumbag,drug addict,drunk madman. I may be one of the few people who think Cage is a great actor. Of course I also think Bela Lugosi is the greatest actor who ever lived,so whatta I know? :wink:
FULL METAL JACKET-nuff sed!

I honestly didn't know that. Everyday is a school day I guess. I personally I think Nick Cage has made some really good films, but has also made some pretty bad ones too like Drive Angry, which I enjoyed but it is pretty awful.

Nice call!
I know it's not a bad movie, but Shawshank Redemption's Catain Hadley has some creative cuss words you don't hear often. Since I can't post the page from imdb.com of his many quotes, I will write a few of my favs...
"If I hear so much as a mouse fart in here the rest of the night I swear by God and sonny Jesus you will all visit the infirmary."
"You're gonna look real funny sucking my dick with no teeth."
"What is your malfunction, you fat barrel of monkey spunk?"
"You eat when we say you eat. You p**s when we say you p**s, and you s**t when we say you s**t. You got that, you maggot dick motherf**ker?"
"What the Christ is this happy horses**t?"
"You tell me, f**k-stick! They're addressed to you, every damn one!"
and honorable mention to another guard...
"I'm gonna go pinch a loaf"
No mention of Rag from HARDBODIES 1984?
