Gotta say Rob Roy is at the top of my list. When he finally kills his nemesis in the duel I just about jumped out of my seat pumping my fist shouting with gritted teeth, “Yeah! Take that you *expletive*!”

No problem Dave, good list. I watch Pulp Fiction at least twice a month!

Great list.
It’s nice…at least for me…to see another part of the Vengeance trilogy on a list other than Old Boy.

I couldn’t agree more with Man on Fire. It’s an outstanding movie and D.W.’s ability to make you forget that it’s, well, Denzel is proof of just how good he is.

I also agree with the commenter who suggested Unforgiven. What a beautiful film.

My own suggestion; An Eye for and Eye. Didn’t even see it coming, but wanted it sooo bad.

My problem is I could not narrow it down to one film.
Awesome list!!

None of these are even close to the the absolute all time king of revenge:

This sleeper hit, Taken. Watch it. No mercy for the merciless.

@Derrick E

Good catch. Thanks :) Not bad for doing it all from memory though, right?

Lucky # Slevin should definitely be on this list!

Snatch should have been on the list. The end of the movie where Mickey, Brad Pitt, gets revenge on Brick Top for killing his mom and he doesn’t see it coming is classic.

There is a little typo in your transcription of Pulp Fiction. The line that Marsellus says to Butch should go “Oh, that ‘what now?’ I’ll tell you what now between me and you. There is *no* me and you. Not no more.”

UNFORGIVEN!
Sherif: “You just shot an unarmed man”
Clint Eastwood: “Well anyone who decorates his bar with my friend should arm himself”
Classic
