Point Blank
Get Carter (1971)
Mad Max
God's Lonely Man

anything with Charles Bronson.

Deathwish is a classic dealing with revenge. Bronson doesn't know who killed his wife and raped his daughter. Is he getting revenge or is he a vigilante? Is he killing just to subside the feelings of his pain? Does it change him, does he change his mind about killing? It's a subtle film in those aspects, but I think it deals with them.

I saw Mad Max a couple times. There's not really enough pre-hurt Max to really show he changed. And he gets revenge, but I don't get he's debating it, or that it changes him.

Any of those films really dig into contemplation?

I've heard of those, but haven't seen them. Do they go into the deeper contemplations of revenge?

Does No Mery debate revenge at all?

I'm looking forward to seeing to the new Oldboy. Haven't seen either yet. How's it deal with revenge?

I think Last House of the Left is a 'revenge setting' film. The parents find out the sick trio killed their daughter, and then they kill the trio. There isn't any true debate about it. They aren't protrayed as being effected by their revenge. What do you think?
