Ralphie in A CHRISTMAS STORY: "Ooooh, fuuuuudggge."

(Only he didn't say "fudge")

That is a good use of profanity.  It was more or less unexpected which I think made it better.

The f**k speech in Planes, Trains and Automobiles.  The only reason it couldn't get away with a PG-13, but it was well worth it.

Pretty much all of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. That movie leaves me rolling on the floor, laughing, and hardly a line goes by without profanity. And there's even more in the Deleted Scenes in the Extras section!

Tame by today's standards, but I like the way the Last Supper scene in History of the World Part I actually made the joke revolve around the swearing.

"Jesus!"

In Boondock Saints where Rocco uses the F-word NINE times in a fairly incomplete sentence.

In Donnie Darko where his younger sister asks (after an f-word triade between Donnie and his OLDER sister), "What's a F**kass?"

In History of the World Part I, where the Senate is in session, and is asked "Should we continue to build palace after palace for the rich, or build houses for the poor". The Senate's unamous answer was "F*** THE POOR!"

Not exactly swearing, although even more offensive, is the whole "The Sherrif is near" scene in Blazing Saddles.

History of the World had a few effective moments of profanity, come to think of it. I also like the arrival of the Roman Empress. Trumpets blaring, the centurion marches out in front of the procession, looking very official, and shrieks "Move that miserable piece of sh!t", referring to the horse and cart parked in their path.

Mel Brooks just had a way with that stuff, at least he did in the 70s.

Two words: the EXORCIST. Not only was the profanity said by a child....it was also blashphomas. "LET JESUS F---K YOU!!!"  Back in 1973-even today,by most standerds-this is some heavy duty sh!t.
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

I blurted that out a few times in high school, got me into trouble more than once.

"Hey baby!  Ever had your a***ole licked by a fat man in an overcoat?"

That is far and away the best line in any movie - ever!    :bouncegiggle:
Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine.......

There was quite a bit of swearing in Sexy Beast, some of it was very effective and suited Ben Kingsley's character to a tee. There were times in the film however that it just seemed a bit over the top.

I love that movie. The language didn't seem over the top to me, , but, , 7-1/2 years in the Army, another 6-1/2 working in a shipyard, and then 7 Years of working in a maximum-security prison MAY have dulled my senses.
