Despite how many other revenge stories are out there, Taken is still the first thing I think of when I think of revenge movies. The movie is simple, with Liam Neeson’s Bryan Mills, a retired CIA agent, going after the human traffickers who kidnap his daughter while she is on vacation in France. Taken earned cult classic just from one iconic phone c...
With The Equalizer starring Denzel Washington, which came out a handful of years after Taken, Washington’s Bob McCall takes on a much more vigilante role in the film, as he gets revenge on the Russian mafia for a young sex worker named Alina (Chloë Grace Moretz). With a basic, straightforward premise, there’s nothing to overthink here. The 2014 fil...
Come on, when you started reading this article, John Wick was one of the first movies you thought of, wasn’t it? With a grizzled Keanu Reeves killing people with efficiency and style, there’s really nothing more you could ask for in a movie. This will get into spoiler territory for people who haven’t seen the first film, but someone killing the dog...

Uma Thurman stars in the action martial arts film as the Bride, whose real name is revealed to be Beatrix Kiddo, a woman who spends the whole film (which had to be cut in two bec...

The 2016 South Korean film stars Kim Tae-ri as Nam Sook-hee, a young woman hired to care for the rich and beautiful Japanese heiress Izumi Hideko, played by Kim Min-hee.

Based on the 1844 classic novel of the same name by Alexandre Dumas, 2002’s The Count of Monte Cristo is the ultimate revenge story.

Directed by Toshiya Fojita, the Japanese film stars Meiko Kaji as Yuki, a woman born for the sole purpose of getting revenge for her mother against the three men who brutally raped h...
Another film from Park Chan-wook, 2003’s Oldboy is a classic crime thriller and a must-see for all film fans. Technically, the entire unofficial “Vengeance Trilogy” by Park, which consists of 2002’s Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, and the 2005 film Lady Vengeance, should probably be on this list, but Oldboy is arguably the best of the bunch. Th...
This may seem surprising, but teen movies often have the theme of revenge, and Mean Girls is the best of the best within this category. Written by Tina Fey, the comedy film stars Lindsay Lohan as Cady Heron, a 16-year-old girl venturing into the strange and wild world of public school after a childhood of homeschool and traveling. She’s learns abou...
- The Lady Eve (1941) Preston Sturges was among a small handful of filmmakers in the 1930s and ’40s considered to be masters of the screwball comedy, and this is one of the greatest examples of his work.
- Point Blank (1967) John Boorman directed this stylish thriller about a thief trying to exact revenge on his partner after being betrayed during a heist.
- The Bride Wore Black (1968) Despite François Truffaut’s deeply mixed feelings about The Bride Wore Black's legacy (the director agreed with early criticisms of the film, then warmed to it as public approval changed, then fretted about color choices as audiences embraced it as a classic), this drama occupies a unique corner in the "revenge movie" canon.
- Once Upon A Time In The West (1968) Sergio Leone made a number of great films that hinged at least in part on seeking revenge. But this western—not only his best, but one of the greatest of all time—follows a mysterious man with a harmonica (Charles Bronson) as he disrupts the efforts of a hired gun named Frank (Henry Fonda) and his wealthy benefactor from trying to gain control of a frontier town on the verge of becoming an industrial hub in the Old West.
