  • The best moment of revenge

    What was the single best moment where the antagonist gets it in the end? One of my favorites was in Shawshank when the warden was cornered and blew his own brains out. Ghost had a great one where the guy's soul was taken away by the spirits. Any others?

    Those aren't really revenge. Karma, maybe?


    Sleepers, when Kevin Bacon gets killed. That one's both. (though not at the end)

          I like the " You didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you?" moment in The Count of Monte Cristo. Only moment of every film I ever saw where people were clapping and cheering in the theater.

            "Unforgiven".

            but the best revenge moment of all time? That was in "Irréversible".

              It would have been, if they didn't get the wrong guy.

                  And to be a pedant, it would have worked better if I hadn't known that Nitti died in prison in real life.

                  It was a good revenge moment, though.

                    Inigo Montoya saying "I want my father back you lousy son of a bitch!"

                    One of the best scenes of any movie ever.

                    This clip should really start 37 seconds in-- I guess the guy was trying to make a montage or something.

                      Ditto on Inigo Montoya. Great character. Great moment.

                      The ending for Sleeping with the Enemy is top notch. She calls the cops, tells them she "just" shot an intruder, hangs up, and then blows him away.

                      I also liked the ending of Terminator where Sarah Connor says, "You are terminated..." right before she squashes the terminator w/ the press. I don't know if I really consider this revenge, or more of a survival thing, but I still thought it was awesome.
