The Golden Age Loner choices are quality.

 

Outlaw Josey Wales is probably my favorite movie off that list.

 

Don't really like those superhero movies except for The Crow. It's good but not great.

 

The great Magnum Force > the good Star Chamber > the decent but overrated Boondock Saints

 

Haven't seen those Bad Girls flicks.

 

 

The first revenge movie that comes to mind is Memento, Nolan's best film.

Outlaw josey Wales is one of my all time faves but a modern one I really liked was A History of Violence.

I don't know much about movies.

I like just about all of the movies in the poll but I also enjoyed Man on Fire quite a bit.

[Lucas]

I edited the poll because the choices listed were just examples of that particular subgenre ( not necessarily the top choices )

I also liked Law Abiding Citizen until the very end.

 

I wanted to see him take out everybody and then walk away.

I like the first half of the original better but the second half of the remake better. The original one just seems to lose momentum after Cady's phone call "...I got a little plan for your wife and kid they ain't never gonna forget, never..." After that though the film goes into action-only mode with hardly any dialogue and the ending is a bit weak with Cady kind of giving up without much of a fight, with Gregory Peck telling him he's going to jail, after being relentless and implacable.

Cady would have to stop/lose the way DeNiro did. Bobby was much creepier.

The second half is where it really takes off for me. I saw it at the cinema back in the day, late in it's run like early 1992 and there was hardly anyone in the theatre just me and my mates and a couple of other people. I mean I thought Cady was pretty scary early in the film but it's not until he kicks the shit out of those guys that Nick Nolte hired that you realise just what serious shit Nick is in. And like you said he wouldn't stop unless he was killed or he killed them. Which brings me to an interesting point, if Cady had killed them all what would he get up to next? His revenge would be complete but he wouldn't just become a boy scout over night. Maybe just more raping and killing?

Yes I do.

 

I forgot to mention Hannie Caulder. That's the movie that inspired Kill Bill.

I think the king of the revenge movie is Quentin Tarantino.
