Year: 1993
Director: Albert Hughes, Allen Hughes
Plot: This debut offering from twin brothers Albert and Allen Hughes was one of the most critically-acclaimed urban crime films to appear in the wake of John Singleton's influential Boyz N the Hood. Set in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, the film is narrated by 18-year-old Caine (Tyrin Turner), a drug dealer and car thief who lives with his religious grandparents. After graduating from high school, Caine shows no ambition beyond hanging out with his friends, so his grandparents kick him out. Among his other troubles are his best friend O-Dog (Larenz Tate), a vicious thug hunted by the police, and the friends and family of the girl Caine got pregnant and then turned his back on. Perhaps the lone positive influence in his sphere is Ronnie (Jada Pinkett), a single parent struggling to raise her young son without the boy falling prey to the 'hood mentality. When their friendship becomes a love affair, Ronnie tries desperately to convince Caine to move with her to Atlanta; soon afterward, he is shot and nearly dies. After recovering, he accepts Ronnie's offer, but tragedy strikes as they pack their van in preparation to leave. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Movie Guide

Body: [quote user="Phantasma-gore-ia"] Was there some unknown problem with Pulp Fiction and it's close to 300 uses of the said word? Or is it just me? [/quote] What do you mean by an "unknown problem"?? If you are asking why Pulp Fiction didn't make the poll I can kind of go through my procedure for picking. I found this link on wikipedia first of all: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_that_most_frequently_use_the_word_%22fuck%22 According to that link Pulp Fiction uses the word a notable 265 times. But I was looking at movies that used the word the most frequently rather than the most overall. So although the film uses the word nearly as many times as the other movies listed, it has an over 2 and a half hour running time which is fairly long, so the number of uses per minute is 1.72 which doesn't quite measure up to the other films on the list. Some other notable films that actually use the word more requently than Pulp Fiction: Jay and Silent Bob Strike BackMenace II SocietyCasinoSummer of SamThe Big LebowskiThe Boondock SaintsGoodfellasSpunTrue Romance (another penned by Tarantino)American History XThe Blair Witch ProjectBad Santa
