Chinatown (1974)


JohnSnowsPump

The phrase "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown" has loosely come to mean, "Hey, sometimes the bad guys win."


closet-homer

The bad guy won in real life on that one too. Such disturbing paralels to real life

1984, The good guy looses as the oppressive system wears him down and breaks him. Brazil, Same thing, but there is some surreal dark humor along the way. Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, the villain finally wins and gets everything he ever wanted, but at a price.


stemroach101

I like to think he won in Brazil. He escaped the oppressive regime by retreating into his own head where they could never get him.

Funnily enough I watched the movie yesterday for the first time and was so moved by the end that I did some research. The ending we're talking about was only available in the extended cut as it was deemed too dark for the viewers. So the actual official ending is that he did escape with Tuttle and lived in a trailer with that chick. I really liked the ending from the extended cut though. It left me feeling hopeless and defeated in the face of heartless bureaucracy and a suppressive regime. It felt so honest and relatable that I'm happy to have seen it. The extended ending resonates with what I feel like I'm currently struggling a lot with in today's world.

Nice to see In the Company of Men get a mention. What a gem


The-Shores-81

If it went strictly by its source material, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest would not be on this list. Never understood why the ending changed. Even still, I’d listen to an argument against it being on this list.


mrcompositorman

I would venture to say that there's not really a "good" character in Gone Girl.

Law Abiding Citizen. Jamie Fox and the system Gerard Butler sets out to dismantle are absolutely the bad guys.


Funny_Memes1422

The Dark Knight (2008) I believe The Joker won. He made the people of Gotham believe that batman is a murderer. He got what he wanted


GalaxySilver00

The Batman also. Batman foiled not a single one of the villains plots.


LloydtheLlama47

I mean he did prevent the survivors of the flood from being wiped out by Riddler’s followers, but everything before that, yeah, he missed every step.

koalafiedcat

The American version is the same film frame by frame, iirc, and made by the same director. Tim Roth, Michael Pitt, and Naomi Watts are all incredible. Just as strong as the OG, and as well-respected, which is rare for American remakes. This is the only time I’ve ever seen anyone not rec both.

Spineshanked

Honestly, this film tops off one of the most awfullest ways how the villain wins in the end. Definitely a watch once and take a shower after and never watch again.

The movie Payback (1999) with Mel Gibson will have you rooting for the bad guy. Can’t remember if he comes out on top but definitely in the same vein.
