Although for Clint Eastwood revenge movies, I’ll take Hang ‘Em High any day.
When Clint finally finds that fat bastard Skipper from Gilligan’s Island and pumps his jiggly gut full of hot lead….
Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about.
But the number one revenge movie of all time is Payback. When Mel Gibson asks for a light, the guy says he doesn’t have one and Porter says, “Then what good are ya?” before bustin’ a cap into Resnick’s skull.

I know I’ve arrived when I find I make more people laugh in absentia than when I’m here.
I forgot all about My Bodyguard. What a GREAT movie, especially for those of us who were picked on nerds.

“Nothing matters now – not the land, not the money, not the woman. I came here to see you. ‘Cause I know that now, you’ll tell me what you’re after.”
“Only at the point of dyin’.”
Tombstone:
“You tell ‘em I’m coming…and HELL’S COMING WITH ME!”
Also, Gladiator.
Revenge movie with a gut-wrenching twist? Failsafe.
No question, “High Plains Drifter.”

That’s freakin’ revenge, my friend.

“My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed me father. Prepare to die.”
Master Gunfighter which was a revenge movie on the entire audience.
Ransom.
Remember when Mel Gibson is sitting in front of that pile of money and tells the kidnappers that they’ll never see any of it.
That’s balls.
And, as they said in The Usual Suspects, “Everybody got it right in the ass…it was beautiful.”

But I’m sure they’re laughing with you, Craig.
Ditto, McG.
