There was a 1970 (?) movie called “the Devils” about a convent of free-wheeling nuns who (falsely) used demonic possession as an excuse to sleep around and cavort in libidinous manners. I saw it a long time ago, and can’t quite recall if any of the nuns hurl - but seeing as they do everything else, I imagine there’s at least a quick snippet of a vomiting nun.

Hmm. I remember the boiling-water enemas, but I don’t remember any vomiting.

Well, I’m trying to think about characters who vomit in _The Wizard of Oz_, and I think the answer is nun.

No, I think that was another boiling-water-enema scene.

Obviously the OP is not conversant nunspolitation films. I would recommend [L’Altro Inferno](http://www.braineater.com/other_hell/oh.html) as a useful introduction to the vomiting subgenre.
