Someone else noted that this is pretty much its own genre in Korean cinema. The Vengeance trilogy are among the best.

 

[UncleMeat]

I'm adding a bunch of these to my list but if they aren't as good as you say they are I'm coming after you Rambo style!

 

[Malachai]

Most of the great ones have been mentioned (The Vengence trilogy by Park Chan Wook, Get Carter, I saw the devil, unforgiven, Mad Max, Payback...). Have you all watched a little gem titled Dead Man's Shoes with Paddy Considine? He is fantastic in it, and the flick is worth a watch.

Was just about to mention Dead Man's Shoes. Absolutely brilliant film.

 

[Cockles & Whelks]

Awesome movie.

Made me a Lucy Liu fan.

Why Batman's Michael Caine Agreed To Star In Jaws 4

Not exactly the best entry on his resume.

screenrant.com

Funny thing is the opening sequence is great. It's when it gets to tropics and Mario Van Peebles it's all downhill.

"Hey guys, we're filming I'm crystal clear water ..won't that make our shark look really, really fake?"

 

[EverydayBeast]

How the hell is Killbill not post #1?

 

[sCHOCOLATE]

Michael Caine as "Harry Brown".

 

[Raven117]

Too many to count honestly.

A newer one that might have went under the radar due to it being a Shudder exclusive,

This looks wild, I'll check it out.

Was supposed to be a Leon: The Professional sequel. I like it and don't give a shit what the "critics" say

I haven't seen this yet, but I love Leon. Will watch!

 

[West Texas CEO]

Did I miss an entire Star Wars film?

I believe the title was changed at the last minute to, "Return" of the Jedi.

It's good. I didn't expect much out of it when I put it on a couple years back but was surprised. It's well shot and visually immersive.

 

[PropellerEar]

Absolutely disgustingly bad movie(s).

 

[phranctoast]

Apocalypyto
Maybe not revenge but pretty close in some ways. All the others I was thinking about were already named.

Ravage wasn’t named yet unless I missed it.

 

[INC]

Kickboxer

 

[DetectiveBananas]

“The Crow” is probably the most justified revenge movie I can think of.

Oh boy that movie is fucking amazing.

 

[intbal]

No gore. No shotguns. No hacksaws. Almost zero violence.
But such sweet revenge.

 

[IDKFA]

Braveheart. But that might be stretching the revenge theme a bit far?

Three of the most historically inaccurate films ever made. I spit on all three, but I'll give Gladiator a slight pass because at least it's not offensive with its made up history.

True, but damn, if they weren't entertaining as fuck, especially Braveheart.

And I don't think Braveheart is stretching it in terms of being a revenge movie. As a matter of fact, the whole movie could have simply been a metaphor for revenge. Because, though it veers toward a story of independence for Scotland, it was all inspired by his loss of his true love and his anger as an expression of it. Did he really give a fuck about Scottish independence?

Probably doesn't matter, does it?

 

[IDKFA]

True, but damn, if they weren't entertaining as fuck, especially Braveheart.

If we could clarify them as fantasy films instead of historical dramas, then I'd agree they'd be really entertaining.

 

[SJRB]

Still blows my mind that this is a Guy Richie movie.

The Limey

 

[Radical Dreamer]

Oldboy, I saw the devil

 

[Mr Hyde]

The Crow
Irreversible
Gladiator

 

[ChoosableOne]

I can't forget the night i watched Oldboy(the real one). I remember every detail of that night. Best movie ever for me.

 

[bitbydeath]

Surprised this one hasn’t been mentioned yet.
Love this movie.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Just watched Man on Fire and would like to add it to this thread. Pretty dope.

Watched this movie earlier today and it is wild.

 

[BadBurger]

The best version of the greatest revenge story in human history...

Came here for this. Yea we all did the book report in middle school but it's a great movie about how while seeking vengeance a person can become a total piece of shit in the process but still seem sympathetic just because of what the other guy did to them.

 

[SirTerry-T]

”Tell him I'm fucking coming"



Dead Man's Shoes..


Lee Van Cleef's the good guy in this one...

 

[macfoshizzle]

John Wick for sure!

Revenge theme is great for movies.. I don't know why there arent as much in games.

 

[Polelock]

I loved Death Sentence. Kevin Bacon and John Goodman were fantastic.

 

[Sidney Prescott]

Blue Ruin is the best I've seen probably. The main actor is excellent and it is paced extremely well. It keeps you hooked from the get go. I would highly recommend it.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Kill Bill
True Romance (sort of a revenge flick)
Django Unchained
John Wick

 

[V1LÆM]

The Nightingale (2018)

not sure it's one of the "best" but it's a good revenge film.

 

[prinz_valium]

What's wrong with this topic?

Neither
Man on Fire (2004) or
Law abiding citizen (2009)
are mentioned?


Those are revenge film

 

[OZ9000]

Lots of good mentions in this thread, thanks.

 

[Sidney Prescott]

This is a classic too if nobody has seen it. Great story that grips you with some nice performances from the cast.

 

[JapaneseGamesRULEZ]

John Wick.

Law abiding citizen is on page two homie.

Jaws: The Revenge.

 

[Sidney Prescott]

Surprised this one hasn’t been mentioned yet.
Love this movie.

I love this movie. It's so over the top and fast paced. I don't think there is a single dull moment because of the plot. You can't go wrong with Statham and Amy Smart in lead roles. Jose Pablo Cantillo plays a great bad guy too.

Weekend at Bernie's

 

[Hardensoul]

I've not seen this since the 80s or the remake. But she really got her Revenge....

 

[Keihart]

Vengance trilogy thread.
Go watch them OP.
Sympathy for Mr. Vengance.
Oldboy
Lady Vengance.

 

[carlosrox]

It's not a revenge film but Doctor Sleep has some excellent scenes that more or less fall into the revenge category.

The Hills Have Eyes 2003 remake. When the tables turn on the villains it's delicious.

Eye For An Eye with Sally Field is an awesome revenge movie.

 

[AJUMP23]

Watched this movie earlier today and it is wild.

But it isn’t good.
