Hello again fellow movie geeks and film conasewers. While thumbing through the rummage on the web, I came across this article on Cinematical displaying a list of films having an excessively high usage of everyone’s favorite four letter word. You all know that word, the one that starts with the letter “F” and ends with a “UCK”. You got it; it’s “Firetruck”. But seriously, there are many many films that have plethoras of vulgarity and personally I don’t have a problem with that. When the word fuck is used tastefully it can really set the tone. Whether it’s being said by a mob boss or a lusty large breasted vixen, fuck is fun for the whole family.
This particular article is referring to a recently updated page on Wikipedia called the Fuckometer. The Fuckometer ranks a list of movies by the number of times fuck is used -pretty interesting huh-.
After reading through them all I was very surprised in their analysis. For example, Rob Zombie’s latest film The Devil’s Rejects -a better movie than you would think, give it a try- spits out fuck 560 times. Which calculates to a use of the word 5.13 times every minute, a total of one whole minute of the word fuck.
The Wikipedia page has a few other interesting tools. Such as the Fuck Record Holders, Resources and a ranked table displaying the top 56 movies that use the word fuck the most. A couple of the movies which rank high on the list are as follows:
- 3. Casino
- 11. The Big Lebowski
- 17. Jarhead
- 20. Goodfellas
- 37. Bad Santa
- 56. Trainspotting
Just to name a few. All by the way being great fucking movies in my opinion.
Give it a look see and let us know your thoughts. And while you are doing that, think of some other films that didn’t make the list.
