Inspired by a recent post by Kj1oceanlust about gore in movies/shows

I'll just add to your list.

16. The Last House on the Left ( original & remake)

[–] M1sterDoct0r (3995) 6 months ago

I've only seen the remake & it was pretty darn good

[–] blue1981 (6744) 6 months ago

I've made it about halfway through the original movie and fell asleep. The remake is brutal and very visceral.

You mentioned some of my favorites already but but I'll add

Dead Man's Shoes (2004)
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)

[–] M1sterDoct0r (3995) 6 months ago

I've seen Dead Man's Shoes ONCE in high school with a couple of friends.

We really enjoyed it but not only have I forgotten about it, I couldn't even recall what it was called.

Until right now. Thank you! That movie definitely deserves a rewatch.

Gladiator

Death Wish 3 (1985)

The episode of The Prisoner called Hammer Into Anvil.

[–] VinceD (7351) 6 months ago

If you like Faster (2010) you should check out Death Rides a Horse (1967).

The Crow (1994)
High Plains Drifter (1973)
The Wraith (1986)
Desperado (1995)
Man on Fire (2004)
John Wick (2014)
Death Wish (1974)
Death Rides a Horse (1967)
Django (1966)
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

That's off the top of my head I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

[–] M1sterDoct0r (3995) 6 months ago

OK, definitely going on the list.

Also, High Plains Drifter is excellent!

[–] Mrmojo4700 (20663) 6 months ago

I had never heard of The Wraith until I picked up the soundtrack on vinyl at a goodwill store a couple of years ago. When I looked it up it was really rare and pricy. I have the dvd now also and it’s a fun movie.

I definitely think Tarantino got his Kill Bill flashbacks from Death Rides a Horse. Love the soundtrack too.

The best is Becky (2020)

[–] M1sterDoct0r (3995) 6 months ago

I haven't seen the second one but part one was better than I expected.

Once Upon a Time in the West
