Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

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.)

Anyway, lots of people have complained about the quotes that didn’t make it, and I thought about doing that, but I’ve got a twist. See, the #1 quote ended up being, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” And it wasn’t that long ago (well, okay, it was before I was born, but still) that “damn” was not acceptable for broadcast on television. Which got me thinking. There are lots of unacceptable for broadcast words. Well, technically, it’s really a small minuscule percentage of the words that are said. But still. The point is that certain “unclean” words appear in some very famous movie quotes, which the AFI ignored altogether. I’m here to remedy that.

So, without further ado, I present

The Top 10 Movie Quotes Which Contain the Word ‘Fuck’, or Some Variation Thereof.

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 America

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

 4. “All right! I am the Messiah! Now fuck off!”
“How shall we fuck off, O Lord?” ~  Brian, and his masses, Life of Brian

 3. “Shut your fucking face, Uncle Fucker!” and “Dude, what the fuck is wrong with German people?” ~ South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut ["Uncle Fucker" is certainly one of the catchiest songs ever. And the German quote is just priceless. A tie for 3^rd]

2. “My god, I haven’t been fucked like that since grade school.” ~ Marla, Fight Club

and the number #1 movie quote which contains ‘fuck’ or some variation thereof is….

 

“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.

Um. Well, after I list the AFI quotes from movies I’ve seen…
