Recently, the AFI released their 100 greatest movie quotes. I’ll list below the ones that come from movies that I have seen. (I was going to list all of them, but that’s boring. Besides, it’s all about me. If you want to list them all on your own blog, and highlight the ones you’ve seen, the complete list, along with a description of how the choices were made is available here.)
So, without further ado, I present
10. “This is FARGIN’ WAR!!” ~ Roman Moronie, Johnny Dangerously [Heee. Fargin’.]
9. “Did you fuck my wife?” ~ Jake La Motta, Raging Bull [this gets in mostly due to it’s notoriety from Eddie Izzard, I didn’t care much for the movie Raging Bull]
8. “Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you! Who’s next?” ~ Saul, Coming to
7. “Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw!” ~ Heather Chandler, Heathers
6. “Don’t fuck with the babysitter!” ~ Chris, Adventures in Babysitting
5. “Fucking... What the fuck. Who the fuck fucked this fucking... How did you two fucking fucks...FUCK!!” ~ Rocco, The Boondock Saints
“How shall we fuck off, O Lord?” ~ Brian, and his masses, Life of Brian
2. “My god, I haven’t been fucked like that since grade school.” ~ Marla, Fight Club
“Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!” ~ John McClane, the Die Hard movies.
Let the battling over the forgotten quotes and/or the order of the winners begin now.

Isn't there anything on your fuck list from Pulp Fiction? I'm rather partial to Jewels talking about his wallet: "It's the one that says Bad Motherfucker."
Come to think of it, most of the good Pulp Fiction quotes are actually fuckless...
Dude, of Pulp Fiction:
"English, motherfucker, do you speak it?"
And later from that same scene:
"You tried to fuck him. And Marsellus Wallace don't like to be fucked by anyone except Mrs. Wallace."
Anything from The Big Lebowski:
"They peed on your fucking rug."
"Nihilists. Fuck me. I mean, say what you will about the tenets of national socialism. At least it's an ethos."
"Nobody fucks with the Jesus."
"Do you see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass?"
Your list fucking rules!
You know, I thought about Pulp Fiction as I was composing the list, but I couldn't remember any of the good "fuck" quotes. Doh. (Incidentally, according to IMDB, "fuck" is used in Pulp Fiction 271 times. Huh.)
As for The Big Lebowski, I have not seen it.
A good one is Woody Allen telling the House Unamerican Activities Committee at the end of The Front, "You can all go fuck yourselves."
Another, in the movie Critters, a couple aliens are talking to each other in their alien language, with subtitles translating what they're saying. The subtitles make this exchange hilarious:
1st alien: "She's got a shotgun" (referring to one of the humans they're doing battle with)
2nd alien: "So what?"
[2nd alien is then blown away by a shotgun blast]
1st alien: "Fuck!"
-nkl
South Park! I love that movie. Also, can I squeeze in a vote for the song America (Fuck Yeah) in Team America? I can? Excellent!
"As for The Big Lebowski, I have not seen it."
Dude. Put this on your Netflix list before we are no longer friends.
IMDb says the word "fuck" was used 281 in this movie. It beats Pulp Fiction!!
