The first set of films that come to mind are Park Chan-Wook's Vengeance Trilogy. Each movie is a meditation on how revenge takes hold and drives various characters. Each film is a separate Masterpiece that had a large emotional impact on me. When you can sympathize yet fear someone at the same time, that's the mark of a good writer, good actor, and good director.

The other set of movies that come to mind are the Kill Bill movies, also epic and showing the evolution of a Character set on revenge.

I Saw the Devil is also filled with revenge and obsession and is an incredibly bloody, visceral movie.

Taken was also very, very surprisingly good. I only say "surprisingly" because I had low expectations. It really impressed me.

I believe that both Last House on the Left and I Spit On Your Grave are both iconic Revenge films, but I don't think that I can actually watch them; they genuinely make me too uncomfortable.

I'm not sure if I've seen many revenge films - Definitely I need to see:
  • Ms. 45
  • Only God Forgives
