    I Spit on Your Grave.

    Which like Last House on the Left is been pointlessly remade.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,330 ✭✭✭niallon


    Death Sentence, too long but a great performance from Kevin Bacon. Also The Outlaw Josey Wales, fantastic.

    Deliverance too, though it's really more a survival movie than revenge.

    Ive never liked ISOYG for some reason.Have watched it a couple of times and it just didnt do anything for me.Very much over-hyped for what it is.

    Since you like Man on fire try another of Tony Scott's movies simply called "Revenge". Haven't seen it for a while but from what I remember it wasn't a bad film. Kevin Costner, Anthony Quinn and Madeline Stowe star in it.

    Should I watch these? I mean, I think Old Boy was so amazing, that these two, no matter how brilliant, will still disappoint me somehow.

    Personally I thought Mr Vengeance wasnt great but Lady Vengeance is a good movie.Of course compared to Oldboy they are weak but thats cos OB is a special movie.

    I really liked Sympathy, thought Lady was just interesting but looked amazing.

    Dead Man's Shoes

    +1

    Hard to watch at times though.

    Man on Fire
    Death Sentence( I found it a tad too long as well)
    I think the theme of revenge is quite prominant in Cape Fear, and that is a great flick.
