I couldn't help myself...I hope you don't mind, Susan for me taking the liberty of starting this thread...unfortunately it is still relatively early here so I might not have enough coffee in me to aid my memory but I'll try to think of some...

1) Thelma and Louise - After they leave the honky tonk bar and they pull over and Susan Saradon vomits at the side of the car (they used egg whites, by the way)...

2) Inland Empire - there is an awesome "vomit" scene in it that for obvious reasons I cannot discuss...

3) The Shipping News - When Quoyle reports on his first car crash even though the vomiting is off screen, it is still effective

4) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - The "impure" mescalin gets to the lawyer...

5) Wild at Heart - Diane Ladd's vomit scene is pretty darn good and effective as well...

6) Heathers - "God, Heather, bulimia is so '87"

did anyone vomit in Deliverance? I rhink if I was going through all that intense stuff, Iwould probably vomit...but I can't recall anyone hurling in it.

stand by me & also  blood simple

Kingpin. Because it made me want to puke too. You really jarred something loose, tiger. Oh god

Obviously the barf-o-rama in Stand By Me

Thanks for the Vomit, Smokey!  Myself I'm like Jerry Seinfeld in that I can count the times on one hand when I've vomited. Maybe two hands. I'm just not that into vomiting and especially when it's watching others do it on the big screen.  FEH!

Wasn't there a particularly creepy vomit scene in Trainspotting? I seem to recall a baby in the toilet. Yup nothing much more lovely than a scene with a junkie shooting up, blood spurting, and the follow-up nodding out before the upchucking sets in. Mmmm, boy, it's a wonder there are STILL young people willing to go down that road but there it is.

Then there was the bloody (or was it just spaghetti sauce?) vomit scene with Tony Soprano after he was released from the hospital last season.

It's really hard to come up with a film that DOESN'T have a vomit scene. Maybe Happy Feet?

I checked out the wording of the Hays Commission. Safe to say none of these films would have qualified for theatrical release in the 1930s.

Correct entertainment raises the whole standard of a nation.

Wrong entertainment lowers the whole living conditions and moral ideals of a race.

Note, for example, the healthy reactions to healthful sports, like baseball, golf; the unhealthy reactions to sports like cockfighting, bullfighting, bear baiting, etc.

III. Vulgarity
The treatment of low, disgusting, unpleasant, though not necessarily evil, subjects should always be subject to the dictates of good taste and a regard for the sensibilities of the audience.

XII. Repellent Subjects
Such subjects are occasionally necessary for the plot. Their treatment must never offend good taste nor injure the sensibilities of an audience.

The Exorcist, duh

It's really hard to come up with a film that DOESN'T have a vomit scene. Maybe Happy Feet?

Do you rent movies from Emetophile Video or something??

Personally, I think I see more movies that don't involve vomiting that the other way around.  Or maybe I just don't notice them.  I'll keep my eyes open for these things from now on, that's for sure.

Funny stuff, Booth!  

If I've done my small part in bringing this aberration to your attention, my work is done.  You'll see.  Just watch.  Film vomiting is everywhere and on TV too. You've obviously become so desensitized from over-exposure that you've stopped noticing.  I haven't done the ultimate scientific study but I'll betcha that 90% of 21st century American film releases have at least one episode of vomiting.

BAD TASTE!!!

The king: Pete Jackson's Bad Taste!!!

Chris, you're vomiting up a white storm and I can't read a word you have to say. Anybody?

PS Booth, check out this article from the UK Guardian of 5 years ago.  They're in agreement with me on this nauseating trend. 

I've seen most of the movies mentioned in that article but I still don't remember any vomit... weird.

But I did remember one other scene, Tim Roth in the only good segment of Four Rooms pulling a simultaneous speak 'n' spew. Awesome.
I will include a vomit count in every post in the last movie thread from now on.

Well, you've proved my point! You're obviously of a generation that thinks nothing is notable about film vomit scenes. It might be like my noticing each time someone lit a cigarette in a film pre-Surgeon General's warning or before the banning of cigarette advertising on TV. It just "was." Who paid any special attention? Btw, there is now a movement afoot to force ALL films with any cigarette smoking to be rated "R."

So now you'll be keeping track. Good. I look forward to those new Booth reviews with the new ratings addenda.

etc.

Blood Simple...excellent choice!!! I can't believe I forgot that one...then I remember there is more than one vomit scene in Heathers... 

I must agree with Angel. The Excorcist vomit scene is right at the top for me. "What is it?" BLEAH!!!! Turned me off from split pea soup for life.

That scene in Stand By Me...that is nasty. Blueberry pie!

The one other that freaked me the heck out was in The Sixth Sense, when Cole lifts up the sheet and that girl is just puking her brains out *the one that got poisoned by her mother*--I jumped a thousand feet into the air.

I do like the cherry-expulsion scene in The Witches of Eastwick; also Ron Weasley heaving up slugs into a bucket in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (I think it's that one...)

Oh that Family Guy vomiting scene is revolting, and yet still funny...

"Team America, World Police", a very forgettable film with one great vomit scene!

And of course "Monty Python's Meaning of Life".  Better get me a bucket...

Again, how could I forget Meaning of Life and I call myself a Monty Python fan...speaking of which, I like your new signature Flange and yours too dawhny..."I've been to a state fair, a picnic and a rodeo and that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard come over a set of headphones."

That was a polar bear puking vanilla ice cream in a blizzard!!! What I TRIED to post was the King of Hurl: Peter Jackson's Bad Taste!! "Oooh, you got a chunky bit!!" (yes, alien puke eating!)   Actually, the expulsion in Black Snake Moan is NOT gratuitous.
 

 The Meaning of Life, You've got to be talented to fill up a bucket and clear out an entire restaurant.

and Caddyshack, two thumbs up!!!! Way to go Spalding!!!!!!!

Yes, purging has been a relatively new cinematic innovation, but the concept goes back thousands of years to the Roman Vomitoriums (& rumor has it that even Adam & Eve had a little spew of guilt after consuming that forbidden fruitstuff).  But lots of films originally had a much larger emphasis on the upchuck principle. D.W. Griffith's Intolerance was once called Indigestion. There's Capra's Mr. Smith Goes To & Throws up in Washington.  Stanley Donen's classic gut-wrenching musical comedy Pukin' in The Rain. The epic  Ben Hurl. The early Streisand Funny Hurl. And there's even been a censoring of this genre as recent as the '80s, from a director not usually noted for his restraint: Martin Scorsese's King of Vomitty.  The Europeans even held themselves back. There was Truffaut's The 400 Blown Chunks & Fellini's 8 1/2 (named after the length of the central, then deleted group vomiting montage.  510 seconds of barf-o-rama, decades pre-Lardass in Stand By Me).  So, don't turn your nose up at puke on film. HOLD your nose UP!  HIGH!!!  Next, farts on film.  I was just watching the Blazing Saddles 30th Anniversary Edition. There's actually a censored version of the infamous beans around the campfire scene. Instead of just excising the bit, they  just edited out the flatulent effects (for sensitive TV viewers).  PHEWWWW!!!

 Then there's the best MENTION of vomit, without showing it: This Is Spinal Tap, where they discuss the drummer who died choking on vomit. Someone else's...
