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 years. The use of the word "fuck" in film draws particular criticism; in 2005, the documentary "Fuck" dealt entirely with this phenomenon. The word "fuck" is thought to be the taboo term used most in American film. The 1927 Motion Picture Production Code, better known as the "Hays Code", banned the use of profanity outright. 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. In 1970, "M*A*S*H" became the first American film to use the word "fuck". The MPAA rating system assigns a PG-13 rating if a film contains the word. 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. The ratings system is voluntary; there is no legal requirement that filmmakers submit their movies to be rated. 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.
