Vogue's list description: Horror, romance, and thrillers all get their due in the cultural canon—but the best revenge movies of all time are a genre unto themselves. Revenge movies capture a deep cut of emotions: the painfully human desire for payback, and the extreme, crazy, and sometimes obsessive lengths a character will go to to get it.
Forget about forgiveness and healing: Hell hath no fury like a woman (or man) scorned—or something along those lines. The best revenge movies ever may be wholly dominated by a quest to take others down, or just contain a strong vengeful vibe. Whether you're just trying to buy a nice dress on Rodeo Drive (Pretty Woman) or looking to finally beat the Toros at Nationals (Bring It On), it's all about prevailing over those who underestimated you. It isn't always healthy or sane, but watching revenge is sweet. Read on for the 23 best revenge movies of all time.
