Fuckfest

I have Merlin Mann to thank for directing me toward this ordered Wikipedia list of every major motion picture with more than one-hundred utterances of the word "fuck," or any variation thereof. As both a list-nerd and a movie-nerd, this is a kind of spiritual experience for me. Some surprises, too: I never would have guessed that Pulp Fiction was more foul-mouthed than American History X, for example.

While you're at it, take a look at the wikipedia article on the word Fuck. It's extraordinary.
