Mainstream films in which the "C-word" appears

[Orrex]

By "mainstream," I'm talking about non-porn theatrical films, preferably released in the US.

The Silence of the Lambs
Trainspotting
Avenging Angel

Others?

[ForrestGump]

1. "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"

"Shaun Of The Dead" (common British slang, usually applied to other men...noy uncommon in Commonwealth films)

"The Libertine" (the 2nd Earl of Rochester's poetry was replete with the word as anatomical reference)

[Richardo]

2. "Serial" - 1980

And not only was the word said, Tuesday Weld was the one who said it. :wow:

[HEyHEY]

3. Anything Guy Ritchie directed

[sasquatch]

4. The Entity

[Symarip]

32. Good one!

Isn't it part of the last line?

[sasquatch]

34. Yes

[crimsonblue]

5. Cats

[MrSlayer]

6. HBO's Deadwood featured it pretty prominently.

Not as often as "cocksucker" but still fairly often.

[Orrex]

11. Not really a theatrical release, though

I hear it's quite a fine series despite it's shocking disregard for delicate public sensibilities.

[Kerrytravelers]

7. American Beauty, Inside Man.

Those are the first two that come to mind.

[SeattleGirl]

8. Not really mainstream, but

"Born Into Brothels" had that word quite often. It was many of the mothers who used the words when yelling at their daughters.

[Runcible Spoon]

9. "Closer" I think...

"Welcome to the Dollhouse" (don't know if it's "mainstream" but I actually thought the dialogue in that movie was artful...the almost innocent discovery and experimentation of taboo by kids coming of age awkwardly)

[peacefreak]

10. Boys on the Side

One scene between Whoopi Goldberg & Mary Louise Parker.

[southpaw]

12. Glengarry Glenn Ross

Not sure how 'mainstream' that one is... but there you go.

[Orrex]

14. Mainstream enough!

Didn't realized that it dropped the C-bomb, though. LOL!

[southpaw]

19. Al Pacino (Roma) tossed it at Kevin Spacey (Williamson)

"You stupid fucking cunt. You, Williamson, I'm talking to you, shithead. You just cost me $6,000. Six thousand dollars, and one Cadillac. That's right. What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it, asshole? You're fucking shit. Where did you learn your trade, you stupid fucking cunt, you idiot? Who ever told you that you could work with men? Oh, I'm gonna have your job, shithead."

I copy-pasted this from IMDB and declined to edit the c-word. Besides, after attending the Vagina Monologues and chanting that word along with a room full of people, I'm no longer as offended by it.

13. Harry and Tonto

It's been decades since I saw that movie but IIRC this exchange from IMDB is inaccurate:

Shirley: I like you, Norman.
Norman: I like you, too, Aunt Shirley. But I think you're a bitch.

Ellen Burstyn played Shirley and Josh Mostel was Norman.

[Heidi]

15. It's about every other word in "Sexy Beast." (nt)

[Blue_Tires]

24. +1

i was about to mention that

[Forkboy]

30. One of my favorite films.

More people should watch it, it's a great one. Kingsley is awesome, as always. And the scene where they're all out eating dinner and they get news that Kingsley's character is coming. Kingsley isn't even there yet and you could feel the dread that comes over all of them. Great acting.

[montanto]

16. Scent of a Woman

[montanto]

17. Silence of the Lambs

[BlueIris]

18. "Chasing Amy."

Said by the lead female character, no less. Blech.

[DontBlameMe]

20. Deuce Bigalo: European Gigolo

Old "man whore" called one of the guys who was killed a "supercilious c--t"

[LeftinOH]

21. Gone Baby Gone; uttered once.

[WinkyDink]

22. "The Boys in the Band". Well, sort of.

[Rob H.]

23. "Hot Fuzz" and "Shaun of the Dead"

both times said by Nick Frost's characters.

[Blue_Tires]

25. Who can forget our fav. ballplayer, Russell Jay "Rusty" Kuntz ??

[Parche]

26. C*CK?

:shrug: :hi:

[Twillig]

27. Tailor of Panama

Brosnan's character says it to G.Rush's character

[Sheets of Easter]

28. Magnolia.

"Respect the cock...and TAME the see you next tuesday!"

[Forkboy]

29. Snatch has the best use of it that I've heard.

"Do you know what "nemesis" means?"

Sexy Beast has a great line to, when Ben Kingsley gets out of a taxi and says, "Got to change my shirt, I'm sweating like a c*nt."

[bridgit]

31. Well...I...suppose if we must, for artistic purposes?

http://cuntthemovie.com">ahem (cough, cough)..."C-word", the movie

[Love Bug]

33. Bridget Jones' Diary

Brits seem to use that word more readily than Americans do.
