Kill Bill 1 & 2
Django
Death Proof (sort of)
He is very influenced by 70’s revenge flicks. He always recommends Rolling Thunder (it’s really good)
One could argue that the hateful eight is also a revenge movie.
The second part of the movie kinda focuses on avenging John Ruth's death
So gee, which of his movies were NOT revenge fantasies?
Probably the first three:
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
...and then he takes six years off and comes back with a BIG revenge fantasy(Kill Bill 1 and 2.)
Perhaps during those six years he became enamored with revenge fantasies, because surely Kill Bill was ONLY a revenge fantasy, and these had elements:
Death Proof: The second set of girls avenge Kurt Russell's murder of the first.
Inglorious Basterds: Shosanna avenges the Nazi murder of her family(and Pitt's team of Jews avenge the Jews.)
Django Unchained: Vengeance is unleashed on Leo and Samuel L for mistreatment and killing of slaves.
The Hateful Eight: Eh, as someone says above, John Ruth is righteously avenged against the whole gang.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: Well - as with Hitler getting it in Inglorious Basterds -- QT invokes "fantasy revenge" against the Manson Family and reverses their murderous crime.
Come to think of it, even way back at Jackie Brown, Jackie avenges herself(turns the tables) on: the DEA cops and Samuel L. Jackson.
