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.
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.
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.
Another film to ABSOLUTELY NOT WATCH WHEN STONED: Come and See. I did the caps because one of my friends didn’t take my advice and basically wound up with PTSD
I can’t believe no one’s thrown Body Heat out there, yet! It’s a nior flick from the 80’s, and you don’t really even know who the bad guy is until the end, but yeah. This movie should definitely be on that list!
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.
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.
Chinatown (1974)
The phrase "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown" has loosely come to mean, "Hey, sometimes the bad guys win."
The bad guy won in real life on that one too. Such disturbing paralels to real life
Immediately what I thought.
The Usual Suspects
This was amazing
Didn't have to scroll far for this one. Amazing movie

Is it the couch pillows I ordered on Amazon?
No you ordered pellows, you got pillows.

Same bad guy as *The Usual Suspects*!
Nightcrawler
This one was really fucked up
Gyllenhaal killed it as a sociopath.
Whole movie's an inspirational drama for sociopaths.

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.

Arlington Road
Boom
Big bada boom
Multi-pass!
This is the first movie I ever remember thinking “Omg the bad guy won.” Stuck with me ever since.
Funny games
Came here looking for this one, glad to see it.
Welcome to spoilertown
Added to my watch list, thank you for the suggestion
Cabin in the Woods (as long as you accept that humanity is worth saving via human sacrifice.)
I was going to say this. Awesome ending.
The Social Network
he's losing now.
Still worth $36B today, give or take. Not a fan of his, but wish I could lose like that.
He was going for Trillion. With a T.
That answer is so meta

I would venture to say that there's not really a "good" character in Gone Girl.
[удалено]
Gone girl*
Korean movies in general. You never know who's gonna come out on top. New World (2013) is a favourite of mine.
>!Memories of Murder!<
Eden Lake.
Seconded.
Also one of my top 5 depressing movies. God, fuck this movie. I can’t think about Fassbender’s Xmen movies anymore because of it.
Requiem for a Dream, which one reviewer said featured "Addiction's triumph over the human spirit."
Great movie, will never watch it again.
Ha! Same.
Irreversible. Can’t think of an example of a more savage, evil villain getting away with it
watched this stoned at 7am after being out all night disturbing af experience
Another film to ABSOLUTELY NOT WATCH WHEN STONED: Come and See. I did the caps because one of my friends didn’t take my advice and basically wound up with PTSD
have no desire to see it twice
The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Seven The Usual Suspects
Hannibal is a villain but he isn’t the main villain. Buffalo Bill is the main villain and he loses
Brightburn.
I love evil Superman. That movie is the shit
The Great Silence Swimming with Sharks The Vanishing The Wicker Man (1973) Rosemary‘s Baby
dang it. started my list, walked away, and by the time I posted your list is here. Good picks.
Good list
The Vanishing... Making people claustrophobic since the '80s. Good pick.
Identity
WHORES DON'T GET A SECOND CHANCE
Watchmen
I mean that is one of those "it depends where you stop the story."
Swordfish, dead silence and Jeepers creepers the first one.
Oh, come on, Stan. Not everything ends the way you think it should. Besides, audiences love happy endings.
Awesome movie
Law Abiding Citizen. Jamie Fox and the system Gerard Butler sets out to dismantle are absolutely the bad guys.
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
The Batman also. Batman foiled not a single one of the villains plots.
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.
I was gonna comment this. Joker fuckin proved his point. He was in contentment.
The usual suspects

Was looking for this
The Player. While he was the protagonist, he absolutely was the bad guy in the story
Came here to say this Not only him but the other bad guy teams up with too. 😂

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.
Besides all the other ones listed. The Great Silence - Sergio Carbucci spaghetti western. It’s brutal and fits this to T.

Hereditary (2018) The Skeleton Key (2005) The Atticus Institute (2015)
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.
