          I'm glad they put Old Boy there. That's my ultimate revenge movie. The ones i've seen on the list are great revenge movies. It's not that their family just got killed or they lost a lot of money, there's a lot of movies about that, but the years of torture and the plot of planning the revenge is what makes these great revenge movies.

            "I spit on your grave" trumps them all.

              No Revenge of the Nerds?!
              "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                My thought as well. That movie was the ultimate revenge fantasy for nerdy guys. I loved how they got all the nude pictures of the sorority girls LOL! I see there's a relatively cheap Revenge of the Nerds DVD set with all the movies out right now.

                BTW for fans of Death Wish I recently saw a movie from the early '60s starring Allan Ladd (best known for his role as Shane) that may have been a precursor to Death Wish as it had the same kind of revenge/vigilantism factor to it. Unfortunately the movie is not available on DVD or VHS. I saw the movie on TCM. Anyways it's called 13 West Street.
