    When it comes to best use of profanity in a movie...

    Die Hard - strategic use of m-fer only makes it more perfect
    Slap Shot was so poorly edited for TV airings, it was almost funnier cleaned up.
    Also loved this scene in Do the Right Thing.

    I just watched the Patton opening monologue. George C. Scott was the master of the undercuss. Lots of "bastards," but the only real cuss he had was when he said "I shoveled shit in Louisiana."

    Agree with all of the above points.

    I need to watch DtRT again. Total sidebar: Lee is such an actor's director. That he and the Coen Brothers can get that one-step-further level of brilliance from the already brilliant John Turturro never fails to floor me.

    Patton is a master class in everything. Scott's almost butterfly-delicate handling of his role was the chef's kiss to that Mack truck of an art piece.
