[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Taken
Revenge of the Nerds
Payback
John Wick
Kill Bill II
Commando (GOAT)

 

[firewagonHOCKEY]

Rambo - first blood

The Revenant but I don't think it was great.

Classic, Count of Monte-Christo, there have been several.

 

[Eisen]

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance

 

[x Tame Impala]

The Count of Monte Cristo is the greatest revenge story ever told and the one made in 2002 is my favorite movie of all time.

Came here to say this. It's not my all time favorite but it's up there for me.

Five more good ones (no order):

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
Old Boy
The Secret in Their Eyes ( Argentina, 1992)
Irreversible
The Killing of a Sacred Deer

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

Lots of good suggestions here. Get Carter is a pretty solid one. A real personal favorite -- Point Blank (and even the remake Payback ain't too bad).

 

[Trap Jesus]

The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Blue Ruin are the first two to come to mind

 

[ArGarBarGar]

The Count of Monte Cristo is the greatest revenge story ever told and the one made in 2002 is my favorite movie of all time.

There aren't many movies I will watch on a regular basis, but The Count of Monte Cristo is at least a yearly viewing. Such a great revenge story.

Also I laugh whenever I see young Henry Cavill on screen. Seems so weird to see him as a youngin considering how gigantic he is now.

 

[Ducks in a row]

The Count of Monte Cristo is the greatest revenge story ever told and the one made in 2002 is my favorite movie of all time.

I have that on DVD and I have seen it many times such a good movie.

 

[nameless1]

It starts and ends with Death Wish.


In all seriousness, it really depends on what you look for. If you want a straight-forward one with a lot of action sequences, there is Kill Bill and John Wick. If you want a good twist, Old Boy and Lucky Number Sleven will fulfil that quota. If you want see an art film, kihei's list will help.

 

[kingsholygrail]

John Wick if I want guns.
Kill Bill if I want swords.
Payback if I want humor.

 

[kook10]

a couple great scenes:

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Oldboy was the first movie I thought of.

 

[Pranzo Oltranzista]

Irreversible

The revenge movie to end all revenge movie (and all vengeful thoughts). Masterpiece!

I watch it once a year with my fiancé too. Guy Pierce and Richard Harris were phenomenal supporting actors too which really helps. The story is such a classic and it’s one of the very few instances where I like the movie more than the book.

 

[Pranzo Oltranzista]

I will add, as unconventionnal revenge tales (but amazing films):

Revanche (Spielmann, 2008) - 9/10
Caché (Haneke, 2005) - 10/10

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Law Abiding Citizen is just an awful movie. I suppose from a strictly revenge perspective it accomplishes that but that movie will always stick out to me as completely awful.

Payback and Kill Bill were the two movies that came to mind for me.

 

[frisco]

Nevada Smith (Steve McQueen). Parents are killed and the rest of the film is tracking down the killers. Great film inspired the Kill Bill series.

Munich.

My Best-Carey

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

High Plains Drifter is another one

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

No mentions of Shawshank Redemption??

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Nightmare on Elm Street
