Bad Guys Win

[mightyfenrir]

Anyone know of any movies in which the bad guy actually wins and there's no sequel to undo it a la Return of the Jedi? Other People's Money is the only movie I can come up with. We need more of these desperately in the world in my opinion.

Return of the Jedi is the movie where the bad guys win. The bloody ewoks.

Michael Collins? Irish people won, I want a refund on that DVD. Irish people with self-government is a bad idea.

Braveheart.

They are making a film of Connolly. And believe me, I would have supported the IRA had i been alive back then.

Oh wait, technically they were the good guys in the movie...

Sounds like a good film, but Larkin would have been a better choice of Socialist.

(OT- My great-grandfather was in the Volunteers and the IRA, fought in the GPO and ended up in Frongoch.)

Isn't this thread a bit spoiler-ish?

Why yes, yes it is. Would 300 count?

To some extent, they won the battle but lost the war. I suppose in the end the heroes of the film triumph so it probably wouldn't.

No Country For Old Men

Never had a desire to watch

Braveheart.

I suppose technically, but who likes Scottish Mel Gibson anyway? In the end I don't mind the English killing him, even if they are the "bad guys."

A Bridge Too Far

Can't believe I forgot that one...

Why yes, yes it is. Would 300 count?

I refused to watch that, probably why I forgot it haha.

I suppose we could technically put Gladiator up here too, since Maximus did end up dying in the end. Also, any movie with Jack the Ripper technically ends with the bad guy winning... and Zodiac killer movies. And Wolf Creek... geeze, there's a lot more than I could think of this morning obviously.

Why not?'
It's a good movie.

[vizi]

Can't account for taste.

[mightyfenrir]

It's a good movie.

DOn't know, just didn't speak to me I guess.

Every single Gundam OVA/Movie/TV series based during the Universal Century. The Earth Federation Government are the bad guys, and they always win. Though a well kept secret, they are the bad guys.
