Do the bad guys ever win in movies?
I think that it's total bullshit how the good guy always wins in movies and gets the girl or gets his revenge or catches his criminal or whatever
How does the movie industry do so well when the movies are all so predictable? Why do people keep on watching movies which have such obvious endings? Whats the point of watching a movie if you already know whats going to happen eventually? This is all bullshit and I really don't know what the point is At one point in every movie the good guy comes close to losing and then always pulls it out in the end.
Hollywood should be a little more creative when making movies and have the bad guys win sometime and the good guys win sometimes as well instead of having such a one sided thing going on especially in a world where the good guys doesn't always win in real life.
I really thought that Robert DiNiro was going to win in Heat over Al Pachino when he was home free and only had to go to the airport but came back to kill some guy who killed his friend which was bullshit because he had it won and should have won instead of dying in the end!!!!!!!! Bullshit!!!bullshit!!!!!!!
I for one am tired of watching the same repeatative bullshit and would like to see some movies where the bad guy wins so if you know of any then let me know
The only ones I can think of are Seven, The Ring, Secret Window, Hannibal and a few horror movies where they are usually setting it up for a sequel. Anyone know of any more movies where the bad guy or guys win?

LOL - I think it's time to grow up and watch movies which don't have clearly defined good and bad guys, and maybe you won't have to deal with the problem of good always winning over evil.
Good triumphing over bad isn't a hollywood concept, it's been around a lot longer then that. It's just something most people walk away from happy after having paid $13 to sit through a 2 hour movie. Hollywood is about making money, not telling unique stories. Want something different, i suggest you start by looking elsewhere.
Having said that, there are quite a few movies produced in Hollywood which don't have the cliched endings...not all of them are great, and i'd even say that Bad vs Good where Bad wins is sometimes predictable as well.
- Secret Window
- Identity
- Saw
- Fallen
- Fight Club
- Arlington Road
- Primal Fear
- Devils Advocate
I'm sure there are quite a few more out there that i'm forgetting. Hollywood is all about cliche's, cause most people dont' want to hear a story that is different, or doesn't have such extremes ( in that regard they are not unlike childern who only want to hear tales of dragons and wicked witches ).
SpyKids
great movie.
true, most are pretty predictable..
but it's also true that you don't go to see a movie just for its ending.. so big deal you can figure it out ..
it's like saying you never watch movies you like again cause you know what's up--
Althouuuuugh I do too hate happy endings haha and the good guys winning - I like the bad guys, they're the coolest 
But there's a lot of unpredictable, original films, so look them up.
Thelma and Louise.
Harold and Maude.
Not necessarily "bad guys", but a "not happy" ending.
I've got a good thread......
"Does maxpain ever NOT complain???"
and notice the caps for NOT

Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail
Everyone loses at the end, including the viewer.
i like movies that end in a steamy sex scene, and show lots of cleavage, and boobies are always my favourite.
