20 Best Revenge Movies

It can still count as a revenge flick since

Spoiler:
he got revenge on Teddy for using him.

Oldboy should be considered in at least the top 5. It's a great movie overall, but just as a revenge movie, I really find it hard to think of another movie that tops it.

How was that a revenge flick? We THOUGHT it was, but it wasn't really a revenge flick once the story unfolded.

It was a revenge themed flick, regardless of whether or not it was "really" about the protagonist getting his revenge.

Assuming your talking about the 2004 adaption.

I think it would be a revenge flick even without that because that is his whole driving motivation the whole film. But yeah,

Spoiler:
he also got revenge on Teddy.

NINE TO FIVE (1980)
Sometimes revenge can actually be productive — and good for the bottom line. Sexual-harassing, credit-stealing boss Dabney Coleman tends to inspire revenge fantasies among his employees (especially Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton), including scenarios involving poison and light bondage. When the trio stumble upon an opportunity to act on those fantasies, Coleman finds himself trussed up and suspended like a tetherball, while the gals take advantage of his absence to turn the office into a more flexible, female-friendly workplace.

Is it bad that I haven't seen any of those movies except for V for Vendetta and The Crow?

Depends on your age. If you are pushing 20 or older, then you have some catching up to do. If you are younger, then I understand, and you still have some catching up to do, lol.

I'm 18. A lot of those movies I haven't heard of. And the ones I have heard of had never sounded interesting.

Definitely not a favorite list of mine. Personally I would've thrown unforgiven, a few dollars more, Mad Max, The Patriot, even the italian job would've been a nice edition. And Princess Bride should have been further up on the list

The ones I would recommend include:
Princess Bride (this one I don't really like myself, but many do and at the very least it is referenced a lot and it helps for social purposes just to know what people are talking about... or that could just be because I'm a little older)
Godfather
Munich
Cape Fear
Star Trek II (if you like Star Trek stuff at all)
Straw Dogs
Memento (definitely watch this one, IMO)
Count of Monte Cristo
Kill Bill

Some of the others I have not scene, but I'm sure several of the ones I haven't seen are pretty good based on the quality of the other movies listed. Especially Deathwish, this list makes me intrigued to see that.

You know, I was just thinking and had to re-check. I was wrong about seeing that Cape Fear. It was the remake I have seen and liked. I temporarily forgot it was a remake and thought it was the one with DeNiro.

I like Star Trek, but I'm more of a TNG fan.

I grew up more of a TNG fan too, but Star Trek 2 is (slightly) better than any TNG movie. I'd say give it a chance. The only people I know that don't like it are people who can't stand anything Star Trek.

I view the Star Trek movies as this:
1. Star Trek (new one)
2. Star Trek II
3. First Contact

First Contact and Star Trek II may be interchangeable based on my mood.

Oldboy and The Crow come to mind.

The Mask of Zorro is a big one that comes to mind that hasn't been mentioned.

True Grit and Unforgiven are great revenge movies.

Holy shit, yes. Forgot about that one.

I'll look through the list, the thread, and compile my list.

There's a couple that I'm supposed to see on rec. from Jaden and Backfire...so I'm betting those will hit my top 20, so my list may change in a couple of months when they come in the mail.

I was just going to mention that movie DDM. Love it. The book as well.
