If You Loved V for Vendetta, Watch These 8 Next. Yes, Even the Last One.

V for Vendetta is a masked man quoting Shakespeare at fascists. These eight carry the same grudge against power, just with fewer Guy Fawkes masks.

The last one has no masks, no Fawkes, and the angriest rebellion here.

1. 8
   Predestination (2014)7.5

   The best time-cop movie nobody bothered to watch.

   Shares V's obsession with identity and who's really pulling the strings. Grossed $68,372 domestic on a reported $5M budget, which is criminal for a 7.5.
2. 7
   Looper (2012)7.7

   Rian Johnson made a better grudge movie than most franchises.

   Same grim future, same morally messy guy with a score to settle. 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and $176.5M worldwide off a reported $30M budget.
3. 6
   Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)7.5

   The best uprising movie starring a chimp, and it's not close.

   Like V, it's a lab-made outsider turning on the system that built him. A− CinemaScore and $481.8M worldwide. Audiences got it.
4. 5
   Blade Runner (1982)8.2

   Critics got it first. Audiences needed a few decades.

   Rain-soaked dystopia where the powerful decide who counts as a person. Made $41.8M worldwide in 1982, now sits at an 8.2 movie.guru score.
5. 4
   Logan (2017)8.7

   The only superhero movie that fully earned its gloom.

   Shares V's bleak future and a worn-out antihero nobody asked to save anything. Beat 87% of movies with critics and audiences, and pulled $619,180,476 worldwide.
6. 3
   Dune: Part Two (2024)9.4

   The biggest revolution movie of the decade, and it's suspicious of itself.

   Like V, it keeps asking if the guy leading the uprising is the hero or the warning. 9.4 movie.guru score, $714.8M worldwide.
7. 2
   Snowpiercer (2013)7.9

   Chris Evans leading a class revolt beats half his superhero work.

   Oppressed masses, a ruling class, one armed push toward the front. Critics beat 92% of movies, yet it made just $4,563,650 domestic. Go fix that.
8. 1
   RRR (2022)9.4

   The best anti-tyranny movie of the decade isn't in English.

   Same fury at an occupying power, same bigger-than-life rebellion, way more deranged action. 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 9.4 movie.guru score. Subtitles never stopped a revolution.

$271.38 says you start RRR to prove me wrong and finish it as its loudest defender.
