    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

How could they write a list of the best revenge movies of all time and leave out Revenge, with Kevin Costner, and Payback, with Mel Gibson? Those are outstanding movies!

No Vengeance Trilogy? No I Saw The Devil?

Without Oldboy on the list at all, I can't take the site or the author seriously. None of those movies even come close to the horrifying revenge of Oldboy. It evokes a special kind of darkness that stays with you long after viewing.

To those in this thread who may not have seen it yet, make sure you watch the original Korean movie. The makers of the American version didn't have the balls to get the story right.

That is part two of the Vengeance Trilogy. But I agree, they could have at least mentioned the most famous one.

I didn't realize there was more to it... I'll check out the others! Thanks!

Edit

Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance, and a boxed set with all three are apparently unavailable in the US region. :( Everything I'm seeing is Region 2/Region B.

I found that movie very disturbing.

Very intense

Wait. How can Lady Snowblood be second? If it inspired Kill Bill. No Snowblood no Kill Bill.
