Revenge movies waren in de jaren 70 en 80 een main stream genre opzich, en stonden garant voor bloederige en harde gewelddadige scenes. Ondertussen zijn deze nu pulp en cult, dus voor de webiste screenjunkies.com tijd om deze lijst te maken. Mijn favoriet er van is:

"Death Wish" (1974)

No other movie embodies the theme of revenge more perfectly than "Death Wish" does. Charles Bronson cemented his tough guy reputation with this tale where he plays the ultimate vigilante. Playing Paul Kersey, he decides to gun down a bunch of street thugs after a few of them brutally kill his family. Kersey's quest for justice continued through several lesser sequels, but the original "Death Wish" reigns supreme as the ultimate revenge fantasy for all of those who have been wronged.
