[george kaplan]

I love Clint's portrayal of a Mexican Bandito in that film.

 

[ErikG]

Revenge of the Nerds

 

[Elizabeth S]

Recently, the excellent Korean Oldboy, with the double-revenge, of sorts.

 

[george kaplan]

I'll second:

Memento
Kill Bill
High Noon

Another excellent one is

Kind Hearts & Coronets

 

[Linda Thompson]

I love many of the ones already mentioned, particularly the Clint pair and Death Wish. Now I'll toss out a few more low-brow choices (this is, after all, "favorites"...not necessarily "best"...right? )

Mad Max

I Spit On Your Grave

The Last House On The Left

Young Guns

Friday The 13th (the original, when it was Mom...not Jason...knocking off the happy campers; spoiler-tagged just in case there's anybody on the planet who actually hasn't seen this one by now)


Theater Of Blood

Orca, The Killer Whale

 

[Cees Alons]

No mentioning of The Limey yet?
