Does the "Bad Guy" ever win?

Great post Lurker!

Rosemary's Baby and 1984 are classic examples of the good being overwhelmed, as well as The Blair Witch Project, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and Natural Born Killers.

Can you really blame him?

Il Grande Silenzio and Invasion of the Bodysnatchers (all versions)

I have never seen this movie, but if the "Bad guy" wins in all the movies of Il Grande Silenzio and if they show it thru their point of view.... then doesn't it mean that the bad guy is the good guy?

Sorry, if that was unclear, I meant all versions of Bodysnatchers.
Il Grande Silenzio is a completely different, unrelated film.

What about in Donnie Darko? You never really know who wins in that... well, apart from fate, obviously...
I think that Se7en is the smartest movie I've seen in a long time, and no matter how many times I watch it I always scream at Brad Pitt, 'NOOOOO!!!!! you IDIOT!!!!' at the end... lol... shows how professional I am...
