Law Abiding Citizen
Mad Max.
For A Few Dollars More.
Kind Hearts & Coronets.
Payback and I don't even like Mel Gibson.
Most of the Eastwood westerns, Leon, and The Crow.
Oh yes, The Crow! On of my faves and the best soundtrack ever!
Got to be Old Boy for the plot twists!
Another vote for Dead Man's Shoes.
Can I count Aliens for Ripley's fight with the queen?
And Double Jeopardy.
Unforgiven +1. A magnificently bleak piece of cinema.
On the Tarantino tip, Inglorious Basterds is probably a better revenge story than Django.
And in spite of its faults compared to the book, V For Vendetta is a nice play on the revenge theme.
Godfather and the wizard of oz..dam bad witch had it coming.
22 bullets
Well I watched Confession, it was ok, I'm usually ok with subtitles but given the whole story was told with them it was hard work.
the girl with the dragon tattoo where she gets her revenge on the man who raped her.
Man on fire is great.
And Death Sentence (Kevin Bacon)

This Korean one is a bit cheesy in places and story line a bit iffy but the fight scenes are really good.
Predator 2
Trading Places
Another vote for Law Abiding Citizen.
Man On Fire. Creasy is about to paint his masterpiece.
Any ghost story.
In fact, Ghost Story is a pretty good take on the theme. The Fog, in either incarnation, is another good example.
+1 for the OP, but [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_Candy_%28film%29 ]Hard Candy[/url] needs to be in there as a contender.
Anyone mentioned First Blood?
The Long Good Friday .

Although not a revenge movie as such, [i]Once Upon a Time in the West[/i] - Frank (Henry Fonda) finally recognising Harmonica (Charles Bronson) is one of the most fugging epic moments in cinema.

Legally Blond
Yeah, I'll see myself out, cheers.
Lucky Number Slevin is good.
No teeth - That film is in my top ten of all time great films. And yeah it is a revenge film, Bronson's brother was killed by Frank. As you say, fuggggingggggg amazing. Ah, fugg it, I'm gonna watch it!
Robocop.
I thought of Payback straight away...best Gibson film ever ans I need to see it again.
But mention of the Crow above reminded me of how fab this film is and its a classic revenge story.
Robocop has large elements of revenge, but its mainly about good v evil and thats a different story type.
In a proper revenge story you dont care if the person who is on the offensive is good or evil, just that they are vindicated in seeking revenge.
Surely there must be something involving Liam Neeson?
Old un here.
The Abominable Dr. Phibes
Anyone mentioned First Blood?
I'm watching it now on syfy 🙂
Dead Mans Shoes.
LOL at Tom.
I also say Dead Mans Shoes.
Shawshank, get busy living.
And yeah it is a revenge film
[i]"Keep your lovin' brother happy"[/i]
In that respect, yes... although it's about many other things, too.
[i]Such[/i] an amazing film (and musical score). I've only ever seen it on the big screen once, and I'm not ashamed to say that I was near-as-damnit in tears by the end.
Surely there must be something involving Liam Neeson
Pretty much everything he's made in the last 7 years?
The Count of Monte Cristo - One of the best IMO
Toy story?
