Movie from last year:

Spoiler

The Dark Knight. The Joker kind of won.

 

[DrEvil]

The bible.


... But more seriously:

Primer

There was no real bad guy, but you knew it was going to be sinister.

Along those lines: The CUBE trilogy

 

[jorma]

I got cured alright.

 

[Eteric Rice]

20th Century Boy.

Sort of, anyway.

Match Point

 

[GDGF]

I'm looking and looking, don't see it...

Arlington Road, duh

I see it now

This one stands out to me the most.

It's not a pyrrhic victory, but TOTAL.

I was gonna post it if no one else did. The ending of that movie totally pissed me off, but in a good way. It evoked emotion. It was successful in that regard.

 

[linkboy]

Mr. Brooks (not sure if its been mentioned).

 

[Karakand]

What was it? C'mon, share!

Movie from last year:

Spoiler

The Dark Knight. The Joker kind of won.

He completely won.

 

[Dr Zhivago]

Phantom Menace?
Palpatine gets made Chancellor, which is what he wanted all along.

 

[Kitschkraft]

Dumplings

Just about everyone in this movie is disgusting.

 

[Vgamer]

Swordfish

 

[Magnus]

/clap

 

[weepy]

He completely won.

Won how?

 

[Red Scarlet]

Ah, most of what I thought were already mentioned..Usual Suspects, Se7en, Dark Knight, so how about Transformers (animated)? With Unicron's body being destroyed, the really actual BAD guy, Galvatron, is no longer under Unicron's thumb.

And what about most zombie movies? Night of the Living Dead pissed me off in that aspect (but in a good way).

 

[Odrion]

12 monkey's

Spoiler

If i remember correctly, didn't the bad guy release the virus at the end of it.

Spoiler

the female insurance agent at the end is one of the scientists, so they do get the sample of the virus

 

[Darko]

 

[LAUGHTREY]

The bad guy won twice.

 

[Link Man]

Can the Star Wars movies really be taken separately, though?

 

[Majmun]

The Passion of the Christ

 

[Zeliard]

The ultimate:

 

[El Papa]

The Godfather movies?

 

[h1nch]

Arlington Road is the best answer

Match Point

Not in a Crime and Punishment way.

 

[Zoltrix]

Movie from last year:

Spoiler

The Dark Knight. The Joker kind of won.

I see it as a win for him.

 

[Replicant]

THIS:

Man, the ending gives me the creeps.

 

[MercuryLS]

 

[Mrbob]

 

[DrForester]

 

[Blader]

I'm getting pretty sure getting eaten qualifies as losing.

 

[CrunchyB]

Amadeus counts, right?
Mozart dies, Salieri didn't get what he wanted and ended up ranting in an asylum.
Everybody loses!

A Bridge Too Far. Operation Market Garden was a total disaster, even though the allies had Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman and Robert Redford fighting at their side.

 

[DrForester]

I'm getting pretty sure getting eaten qualifies as losing.

He got exactly what he wanted. He wanted the 2nd impact to happen and everyone to become orange juice. His vision was violent yes, but he ended up just where he wanted to.

 

[El Papa]

Carlito's Way.

"Last call for drinks, bar's closing down, sun's out. Where we going for breakfast? Rough night. Tired baby, tired......"

[Skiptastic]

Won how?

Spoiler

Caused chaos in Gotham
Killed Rachel
Led to Dent's revenge mode
Didn't die
Gave the town a better class of criminals, basically by killing the old ones

How didn't he win? By not

Not a perfect victory, but I say he won.

Just about everyone in this movie is disgusting.

is there a blue Ray out for this?

 

[explorer]

I would argue Gary Oldman from the Professional. Sure, he blows up at the end...but he does shoot the main protagonist in the back of the head ... smug bastard!

 

[methane47]

LETING the bad guy win doesn't count!

 

[Armitage]

Watchmen?

Awesome post.
