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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mr Creosote, obviously.

I mean, you see them scraping it off the floors with a dustpan afterward.

The Last King of Scotland was the last film I watched and it has a particularly gruesome scene with some vomiting. It was kinda porridge-y in texture

Now THIS is my kind of thread!!!!! I was thinking about the "stand by me" scene too. hehe. Has anyone seen the vomitscene in family guy? Now that´s hilarious!!!! It´s out there on youtube.

Ditte 

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...

My theory by A. Elk, brackets, Miss, brackets. This theory goes as follows and begins now. All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end. That is my theory, it is mine, and it belongs to me, and I own it, and what it is, too.

Ange's Odyssey

"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...

"We cannot allow a mine shaft gap"

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."

 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!!!!!!!
