Revenge is a dish best served in a cinematic experience. Life is too short to hold grudges; it’s bad for your health. Fictional characters don’t have to worry about that, though. They could spend years of their lives plotting their sweet, sweet vengeance and not worry about the repercussions on their physical and mental well-being. That’s why revenge movies are so incredibly satisfying. It’s the type of thing we’d probably love to do, if only we weren’t so emotionally stable. We asked Watchworthy readers to tell us about their favorite revenge movies and they came through will all of the classics. Which of these revenge films also always hits the spot for you?
