Off the top of my head: Dead Man’s Shoes.
Yours?
Off the top of my head cos it’s the most recent one I’ve seen, Taken is pretty good.
Last house on the left Kill Bill 1&2

Revenge?
Get yerself to South Korea, Al.
The Vegeance Trilogy. Which includes:
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance Oldboy Sympathy for Lady Vengeance
…the boxset even comes with a hammer 😀
Wrath of Kahn!
Seen Oldboy, very sick, not enough to make it a great film.
Mine is still the best 😛
Dead Man’s Shoes +1
You’re wrong, Al. It’s not sick, it’s violent…there is a difference, and it’s a great film. 😛
I will maintain no-one does revenge like the South Koreans.
….Dead Man’s Shoes is fantastic, though.
Point Blank is also very good.
Lee Marvin…woof!
That Clint Eastwood film from a couple or three years back… Hmmm… And Arry Brown I liked.
edit: Gran Torino
Not the best, but I always enjoy Payback.
Oldboy is great, very apprehensive about the US remake.
Empire strikes back 🙂
Dead Man’s Shoes and Oldboy are both great movies, but Oldboy would be by vote of the two.
Few other contenders that spring to mind are
Gladiator Unforgiven Leon
Some crackers already mentioned especially Leon & Kill Bill
I’ll add one seriously pissed off Denzil in Man on Fire

harry brown and payback
But Jamie, he gets deaded in the end (Get Carter). You might as well have said “Easy Rider”, which is revenge for being a rebel.
Gangs of New York.
Many of the above + for ‘lightness’ “luck number Sleven”
The outlaw Josey Wales, High Plains Drifter, The Unforgiven, True Grit?
Most westerns probably.
Law Abiding Citizen – revenge against individuals and “the system”. Great film.
Jamie – Member Seen Oldboy, very sick, not enough to make it a great film. You’re wrong, Al. It’s not sick,
Incest isn’t sick?
Hoped Carter and Point Blank would turn up.
Payback
Kick Ass
Django Unhchained
Commando
I woke up a bit bleary eyed and as I read through this I thought why has Micheal Cain got a pair of nail scisors in his breast pocket?
The Limey is very good
Taxi Driver is essentially a revenge film
Unforgiven is my favourite
Trading places 🙂
Once upon a time in the west.
no-one mentioned ‘i spit on your grave’ yet? 😀
Rolling Thunder
I was just about Sadex, very enjoyable 🙂
Confessions. Absolutely incredible film and the ending is giving me goosebumps just thinking about it. Probably the best film I watched last year. Great soundtrack, great acting and a really dark feeling throughout the whole film.

Man in fire, I like the fact the 1st half builds it up perfectly and the 2nd he is just bad ass
I love revenge films and man on fire is my choice. Like ^ said, the build up and release of controlled rage is pitched perfectly.
jaws!
Not if you don’t make eye contact….hang on. Am I thinking about something else?
I saw the Devil and Commando.
Harry Brown & Get Carter
