Let's face it, we all love to see a bad guy in a film get his comeuppance. What are some films with some great revenge moments?

A few for me.

Hostel: The scene in the bathroom at the train station. Hostel Part II: Where the girl gets the better of her torturer.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo: Where Lisbeth gets back at her "guardian".
I Spit On Your Grave: Pretty much the whole second half of the film.
 
Pretty much all of Unforgiven, but two things in particular:

-When Munny/Ned shoots Davey Bunting in the stomach and they just sit there listening to him die slowly begging for water

-When Munny shoots up the bar at the end. Not so much the action itself, but the dialogue:

"You just shot an unarmed man!"
"Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend."

"All right, I'm coming out. Any man I see out there, I'm gonna shoot him. Any ******** takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna kill him, but I'm gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down."
 
The Kill Bill movies, the end of Inglourious Basterds, the second half of The Hills Have Eyes (remake), and perhaps one of the greatest revenge scenes of all time:

I Saw the Devil - pretty much the whole movie
 
Watchmen - Rorschach kills Big Figure in prison bathroom ('Need to use restroom')

300 - Queen Gorgo stabbing Theron ('This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this. I am not your Queen')

Immortals - Theseus kills Hyperion ('Look at me. Look at me! I am the last thing you will ever see... Witness hell)

Sin City - Kevin is tied to a tree and eaten alive by dogs

Law Abiding Citizen - Clyde tortures the man who raped and killed his wife in front of him ('Now this is for your penis. But we'll get to that later')

Gladiator - Maximus kills Commodus

Mask of Zorro - Captain Love and Don Rafael both killed by the very gold they were trying to steal

X-Men First Class: Mageneto's coin trick

The Godfather and The Godfather Part II: The assassinations
 
In Bruges - Harry thinks he's killed a little boy, so he shoots himself... but it was actually a midget
 
Harmonica killing Frank in Once Upon a Time in the West. Nobody does revenge like Charles Bronson.

 
Was just about to post that from Once Upon a Time in the West. Great stuff.

Watched Daredevil Directors Cut last night. Flawed film, but not terrible. And i think Daredevil's revenge over Kingpin at the end was great. Not only did he beat the **** out of him, but he showed that he wouldn't stoop to his level and become the "bad guy".
 
Transformers 86 deserves a mention,

"Megatron? is that you?"
"Heres a hint" Galvatron then transforms and blows Starscream up.

Haha. I always thought Starscream went out like a ***** in that one, until I saw Transformers 3.

Both extreme classics!!

I'd also like to add Cobra Commander getting even at the end with Serpentor in G.I.Joe: The Movie & Superman crushing Zod's hand in Superman II.
 
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
