# List of films that most frequently use the word fuck

The use of profanity in films has often been controversial, but has increased significantly in recent decades. The word, fuck, is repeatedly used for the documentary film of the same name. It is thought to be the vulgar term most used in film. The Hays Code banned the use of profanity outright, but the Motion Picture Association established a system of ratings to use as a guide and have each films with inappropriate content in 1968. In 1970, M*A*S*H became the first mainstream American film under the system to use the word fuck. The Motion Picture Association film rating system assigns a PG-13 rating if the film contains the word used once and not in the context of sex. 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 the rule. In some cases, filmmakers appealed the rating because audiences may avoid all R-rated films about profanity. Censors have been more lenient about the word in films that portray historical events. The ratings system is voluntary and there is no legal requirement that filmmakers submit their films to be rated. The list of non-pornographic and English language feature films has over 150 counts for the word fuck (or one of its derivatives), ordered by the number of such uses. It does not contain spoken uses of instances that are preceded by “mother”. Bronagh Gallagher and Joe Pesci are tied for using the word.
