The use of profanity in films has often been controversial, but has increased significantly in recent decades.[1][2] The use of the word fuck in film drew particular criticism in 2005. The documentary film Fuck dealt entirely with the phenomenon.[3] The word fuck is thought to be the vulgar term used most in any film.[4]
The Hays Code banned the use of profanity outright.[5] However, the Motion Picture Association established a system of ratings to use as a guide and determine the appropriateness of the film's content in 1968.[6] In 1970, M*A*S*H became the first mainstream American film under the system to use the word fuck.[7]
The Motion Picture Association film rating system assigns a PG-13 rating if the film contains the word used once and not in the context of sex.[8] The R rating is normally required, if the film contains more than one utterance or if the word is used in a sexual context. However, there are exceptions to the rule. In some cases, filmmakers appealed the rating because their target audience might avoid all R-rated films about profanity. Censors have been more lenient about the word in films that portray historical events. The ratings system is voluntary and there is no legal requirement that filmmakers submit their films to be rated. This list of non-pornographic and English language feature films has over 150 counts for the word fuck (or one of its derivatives), ordered by the number of such uses. It does not contain spoken uses of instances that are preceded by "mother".
In terms of individual actors, Bronagh Gallagher and Joe Pesci are tied for using the word fuck.[9]

One Day Removals uses the F word more than 320 times, the most ever in a Scottish-made film. Mark Stirton's black comedy beats the current Scottish record holder, Sweet Sixteen by Ken Loach, which uses the F word and variations 313 times. EDIT - This is incorrect, I was a Producer (Kerwin Robertson) on the film and starred in it as the guy that gets a hook through his eye. We have 440 F words in the film, we had to count them all to see if we could get a BBFC rating, which turned out to be mega expensive, so we self rated the film an 18.
