Here is a list of movies that don’t have profanity in them.

Back in the day, it would have been unthinkable to have the F-word on cable television. But nowadays with streaming services, the F-word has become commonplace. More and more people are also using profanities in their everyday speech.
In a national poll conducted by Harris X, the youngest adults were found to be much more comfortable with profanity than older generations. Jennifer Graham said that if the trend continues, then the Federal Communications Commission (the people who decide what’s acceptable for cable television) will have a harder time keeping swears off the airways because they’ll cease to be obscene.
Even though swearing might be brushed off as a bad habit, some have expressed that they think our culture is desensitized toward profanity and that there’s not a whole lot of benefit to putting it in more media.
Melissa Henson, director of programs for the Parents Television and Media Council, said to the Deseret News, “There will always be a segment of people that are uncomfortable with that language. I think we’re all the worse for it.”
Profanity didn’t become common on television for a while. According to CBS affiliate KRCG, the first time a major studio used the F-word on television was 1970 in the series “M*A*S*H.”
Now, just a few decades later, there are movies with hundreds of profanities. According to Decider, the 2013 movie “Wolf of Wall Street” contained 715 different profanities. That’s a far cry from the occasional curse word in a ’70s sitcom. The 2019 film “Uncut Gems” clocked in with 646 profanities throughout the movie.
For those who don’t want to watch movies with profanities, there are still options. Here are 10 movies with clean language.
