The Independent Film Channel web site had a celebration of the best dirty words in the movies last month– how could I have missed it originally? Here’s a link to the cleanest of the lot, the famous “frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” bit from Gone With the Wind, but from here, you can scroll down to get all of the rest. Many of them are, um, bad words.
Highlights for me include scenes from Bad Santa, Clerks, Pulp Fiction, and The Big Lebowski, which was actually featured in this blog just over a year ago here.
When I was in hgh school, I had a priest for “Catholic Faith” who claimed Rett’s use of “damn” was the beginning of the end for western civilization. Once that word was used, the flood gates were opened and every explitive was then fair game.
He was nut, but not as nuts as “Father Feelgood” who would talk openly yabout the beauty of the football players in the locker room and who once actually zipped up a guy’s pants when he came into class w/ his fly open.
