20 Best Revenge Movies

Payback & Edge Of Darkness both with Mel Gibson.

Payback had alot more action & humor than the latter.

Has anyone mentioned Taken yet with Liam Neeson? Brilliant film but more of an avenging story line than a revenge one.

😮‍💨 Taken was good,Think I have seen Payback but cant remember it,but Edge of Darkness was Lame in my opinion,didn't like it at all.

Payback's worth seeing.

Another great revenge film is Hard Candy with Ellen Page (originally based on a stage-play).

Page plays jail-bait only to turn the tables around.

🙂 Yeah,Hard Candy was pretty solid

The best revenge movie you haven't seen yet is the Australian film, The Horseman . A father exacts terrible revenge against the men responsible for his daughter's death.

Be warned. This film is not for the faint of heart. It is brutal and disturbing, but excellently done. Actor Peter Marshall gives a tour de force performance as the grieving and vengeful father. My heart almost stopped during the last 10 minutes.

Speaking of Australian films, RED HILL is another decent revenge-themed film.

Too much to name but I have one.

Sweeny Todd

Fight Club.

Can't decide between Man on Fire and Gladiator...Maximus endured so much more emotionally than Creasy, but Creasy made so many more pay.

Plus, Man on Fire gave us one of the great lines in movie history "Revenge, is a meal best served cold".

Shawshank Redemption wins - it's not even close.

Fight Club & Shawshank???

Revenge films...really?

As long as you take it as a comedy, it's ok.

True. But that's the general outlook most Tarantino fans should base their outlook. Just with a sense of nostalgia and class.

Kill Bill was a fine film and it stands strong with it's Western sequel. I just wish it was released as a single film as originally requested by Tarantino.
An epic story of revenge.

But did it suck! Hell no!

Well I really don't see how anybody can call some of the stuff Tarantino wrote (True Romance, Reservoir Dogs, Killing Zoe) intentional comedies.

As for Kill Bill, there are people out there who actually take the movie seriously. Usually, these are people who haven't seen enough martial arts films to realize that choreography alone is really awkward, silly, choppy and laughable as hell. Really hard to get past, for somebody who notices.

Sure, you can crack a smile at the cheese of 70-'s-80's kung-fu films, but at least the choreography was marvelous in most.

I consider those films to be seen as comedies to a degree. Black Comedies but funny regardless of the serious atmospheres the films situated themselves in.

Yeah I agree. I've seen enough MA films to not judge them so harshly on their feats but the overall film's vibe.

Rocky IV. Hahaha

Very good movie. More of an emotional uncovering movie than an action one, Seven Days. It's in french, i believe supposed to be in Canada near Quebec. So good. And if you watch it, you're a liar if you say you didn't cry at the last bathroom scene.

In no particular order off the top of my head.-

-Firestarter.
-Robocop.
-I spit on your grave/Demented.
-King of the Kickboxers.
-No Retreat No Surrender.
-Carrie.
-The Crow.
-Man on Fire.
-The Count of Monte Cristo.
-Kill Bill films.
-One Armed Boxer.
-Creepshow 2- Wooden Indian Story. (scraping the barrel)
-Last House on the Left.
-Cape Fear. (both versions were great)
-Commando.
-Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
-South Park (the ep where Cartman gets his bully to eat his parents.)

There's my 20.

Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla 😛

Hannah.

A very far fetched plot but some great action sequences.
