Noice, I'll definitely be on the lookout for that one. Haven't watched any of his other movies but heard great things about Your Name so thought I should give it a watch.

Not heavily into anime although I've also recently watched all Ghibli movies (and the one from Ponoc) except for My Neighbours the Yamadas which looks horrible.

In the Mouth of Madness (1994) 7/10

A smart horror film. Bit of a mind bender.

Classic John Carpenter movie!

Once upon a time in Hollywood - 6/10.

Love Tarantino but thought it was really disappointing. The movie was a bit slow, except for the last 20 minutes.

Ms.45 (1981) 7 / 10

Can't believe I never watched this before. Then again it was probably banned in the day. Classic exploitation cinema!

[Through Her Eyes] The History of Rape-Revenge Films and the Importance of Female Directors

The genre they're on about is sex horror revenge / sexploitation revenge. Not classic cinema and not classic revenge stories.

Edit* Meant to quote your list

Fractured (2019) 6.5/10

Average physiological thriller that tries to hard.

The Last Boy Scout (1991) 7/10

Enjoyable buddy action comedy with some great one-liners.

Yes that is the genre I suspect Dave was referring to. Not general revenge based on the movies mentioned.

Looking for M.F.A. (2017) but it's elusive.

Oh but Dave's list isn't sexploitation movies. At least Oldboy and Revenge aren't
