Where should the line be drawn...is where I am stuck.:confused:

yeah, that's definitely tough.
i guess i'd say no to the first two. "straw dogs" is hard though, because, while he does get revenge, he doesn't really
go out and get revenge. haha, this really
is hard. okay, i'd say yes on "straw dogs."
i don't think there's any way to make it easier though. i think you'd just have to have seen the movie in question and use your own judgment.
here's a last-resort idea- go to imdb and look up the film in question. if the revenge part of the movie is important enough to be listed in the "plot keywords" section, then it could be considered a revenge flick.
for example: "once upon a time in the west,"
