Top 70 Profane, Rude or Inappropriate Movie Quotes

Why 70? Because I couldn't get to 100. Well, okay, I got really close to 100. But that was by cheating, using IMDB a bunch to recall quotes I didn't know too well. In most cases, if I figured I could get close, I just guessed.

Also, to get all the way to 100, I needed to include quotes that weren't quite profane enough for the list. I really wanted quotes with bad words in them, but some of the ones that made the final cut simply refer to something disturbing going on in the film (like #40, from Deliverance) or include mild profanity like "ass" or "butthead." (Can you guess which film that's from...it's at #63).

Also, I counted racial slurs, because there are so many good quotes with them. (One of my all-time favorite movie quotes is #68, from The Untouchables).

The whole idea, initially, was to mock that stupid AFI Best Movie Quotes list, which for some ridiculous reason didn't include any quotes with profanity. Discounting any quote that referred to sex or included a cuss word eliminates a whole lot of great movie quotes. At least from films made after the early 1960's.

But that list came out forever ago, and because it took me so long to compile this list, it's not really very timely any more. But I still want to publish it because it's so fucking cool.

Okay, with any list, you need ground rules.

(1) They must be from American films, like the AFI list.

(2) I will not rank the quotes, because that's stupid anyway. I mean, how can you say which quote from two equally good movies is somehow "better"?

(3) Only one quote per movie. Some movies, like Goodfellas, have tons of great profane quotes, but if I allowed mutliple quotes from the same movies, the entire list would be Martin Scorsese and Brian Da Palma movies.

1. "Yippie-ki-yay, motherfucker." - Die Hard

If you don't have my money for me, I'll crack your fuckin' head wide-open in front of everybody in the bank. And just about the time that I'm comin' out of jail, hopefully, you'll be coming out of your coma. And guess what? I'll split your fuckin' head open again. 'Cause I'm fuckin' stupid. I don't give a fuck about jail. That's my business. That's what I do." - Casino

HARRY: In France, I could run for office with that slogan and win." - Deconstructing Harry

23. "I was going to write an article entitled 'Michael Jackson Is Sitting On Top of the World,' but now I think I will call it, 'Michael Jackson May Be Sitting On Top of the World, But He's Not Sitting the Beverly Palm Hotel 'Cause They Ain't Got No Niggas There.'" - Beverly Hills Cop

    Nice. Especially like the Five Easy Pieces and Way of the Gun inclusions. Gotta say, though, I was sure you'd include a Miller's Crossing quote. I've always liked the one where Turturro calls his sister "a sick twist." Also, in Highlander when the cop asks, "Are you gay, Nash?" and he responds, "Why, are you cruising for a piece of arse?" Word to your mother.

    And as for the "Clerks" guy, the "37 dicks" line has always been my favorite, but I actually did have a back-up one I considered using - "Did he just say making fuck?" Classic line.

I had to clean it up, man, but before that, for about 10 to 15 seconds man, I just stared at somebody's shit, man. To be totally honest with you, man, it was a really, really profound moment.

    Some suggestions...

    First off, the quote you have from Kill Bill is right at the beginning of Vol. II if I'm thinking right, but I could be wrong on that.

    From Pulp Fiction - "Does Marcellus Wallace look like a bitch to you?" "No." "Than why you gotta try to fuck him like one! The only person that can fuck Mr. Wallace liek a bitch is Mrs. Wallace!" or something like that

    Harold and Kumar - "Roldy, there's these two filthy pussies just aching to get boned by us.. (coughs.) I mean, there are these two lovely young pussies that would like to have a nice chat with you and I."

    or

    "Who want's some buddha!" (chubby chinese guy at princeton party)

    Slackers - "Dave, FUDGE!"

    Van Wilder - "A cum-gargling, frat boy, bob's your uncle party? sorry boys, but the bakery's closed."

    or

    "Then, we bumped uglies. It was the best ten seconds ever. Ever."
