Carrie
The Crow

Number one has to be Man On Fire for the reasons stated earlier.

I Saw The Devil is also very, very good.

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.

Look. You’re a big man, but you’re in bad shape. With me it’s a full time job. Now behave yourself.

The Italian Job

2003.

igmc

I thought oldboy was alright but seriously you lot should check out Confessions. Even better imo, the build up to the ending is brilliant.

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)

Ok so not the best film but this thread isn’t complete without it.

Fight Club.

Enter the Dragon – I win.

Boards dow hit back!

I watched Drive Angry the other day, bad enough to be funny

Tremors

The Horseman

This ones Australian, and an excellent revenge flick.

The Man from Nowhere

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 Hard Candy needs to be in there as a contender.

Anyone mentioned First Blood?

The Long Good Friday .

Although not a revenge movie as such, Once Upon a Time in the West – 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?
