Thanks for the suggestions and replies. I think I am getting a better picture now.

I totally agree. In that vein, Taxi Driver and Falling Down would be considered great revenge flicks...but technically, they are not.

If you put that down as a criteria, what about Marv's storyline in Sin City? Is that good enough for the flick to be included in this?


EDIT :- What about Carrie? Is that a revenge-driven flick or a girl's powers gone out of control?


This is still slightly debatable...but I think I am seeing the validity of a particular flick for qualifying into this category.

Anything else?
