Thanks to everyone who contributed a list of their favourite revenge films. It really shows the range and breadth of films with a revenge narrative, where the central characters are driven by revenge more than anything else.
Just because I really enjoyed watching Mark Kermode analysing the genre last week, I thought it be good to revisit a topic we did a couple of years ago, but focusing entirely on heist movies rather than crime or cops and robbers in general. As a guide, please use this description from Rotten Tomatoes:

"Crooks. Thieves. Liars. And these are the ones we’re rooting for. In the heist and caper films, we see the hero hatching a plan, putting together a crew, and then pulling off the job, usually in order to turn the screws against an institution or person that’s wronged them — or maybe just for the thrill of sticking up banks."
