    One of my favourites, although probably not a classic is

    lucky number slevin

    . (Added spoiler cos it doesn't really explain itself as a revenge film til the end).

    The ultimate revenge film must be I Spit on Your Grave, surely.

      A couple of recent-ish ones:

      Death Sentence
      The Brave One
      Man on Fire
      Payback
      V for Vendetta

      and of course the classic:

      Death Wish (only the first though!)
      The Godfather (kind of revenge...)

        Jesus Christ, we've forgotten The Crow! Not just a great revenge film, but a great film full stop, and it only cost us one Brandon Lee.

          Any of the films in The Vengeance Trilogy: Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, Lady Vengeance. Oldboy's one of my favourite films ever.

            Chan Wook Park's "vengeance trilogy" is awesome if you don't mind Korean flicks:

            Sympathy for Mr Vengeance
            Oldboy
            (Sympathy for) Lady Vengeance

            You mentioned anime too, check out Gonzo's adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo. The strange curtain pattern clothes will probably give you a seizure, but it's such a good adaptation that works incredibly well.

                            Uh.. I forgot something. Again. Twin Town is actually the best revenge film ever. Very satisfying ending. Great film, especially if you've ever lived in Wales

                              The original Get Carter - as already mentioned - is proper fantastic.

                              Theatre Of Blood - Vincent Price as a Shakespearean ham actor who murders his critics through methods inspired by The Great Bard's works. Though it's well-dated, it still has this really nasty, scuzzy edge about it, and it's actually pretty sickening, even though you don't really see anything And you could also see the fairly similar The Abominable Dr. Phibes, which is another Vincent Price revenge flick from a similar erea, though I watched it recently and found it a bit meh.

                              I'll Sleep When I'm Dead - low key Clive Owen/Malcolm McDowall/Jonathan Rhys Myers East End gangster revenge-type affair, but the revenge doesn't deliver quite the blast I hoped it would. Interesting, though.

                              Coffy - arse-kicking blaxploitation epic starring Pam Grier. Absolutely awesome, guns, big tits, pimps, beautiful music, everything.

                              Plus, though The Punisher is a bit of a curate's egg of a film, being 75% dull and wrong/25% brilliant, it has an awesome revenge on John Travolta at the end, one that was completely unexpected, at least for me, and all the more satisfying that it was Travolta.
