Fractured with Anthony Hopkins
Well, there might be. But not from within the Party, even the Outer Party - its control is too pervasive. If there is hope, it lies with the proles. 
How does that make Richard III a story where the bad guys win? Henry Tudor is no bad guy.
That calls to mind Brave New World – the few feeble creative protests against the orderly society of the World State are put down firmly, the Savage hangs himself in despair – but, it doesn’t quite count. The World State is not unambiguously evil; unlike the Ingsoc regime of Oceania, it is not a sociopolitical system based on sadism and power-tripping, and nobody goes hungry or gets tortured and life is full of pleasures. It’s just, well, dull and sterile.
Well, he’s less virtuous with regard to those virtue that matter - cunning and ruthlessness. Henry Tudor seizes power in a moment of opportunity - Richard Gloucester made his opportunities, painstakingly, over a period of years.
Sure he was. Just a filthy usurper - Richard III had a far stronger claim to the throne than he. And if there is a better indication of relative balance of good and evil than the legalisms of Renaissance inheritance, I can’t imagine what it might be ;).
The Bad News Bears.
There’s a very entertaining book called The Sunne in Splendour which is a novelized history of Richard III’s life. It posits that he was a good man and a decent leader, but had a fatal flaw in that he trusted the wrong people, and that once he had given his word, he was so stiff-necked as to never go back on it. He was, in essence, his own worst enemy.
A very good read, and at 800+ pages, a long one.
Does Hannibal Lecter count as a bad guy who wins?
In Hannibal? Certainly.
I haven’t read Hannibal Rising, its predecessor left me filled with rage.
Dull??? Have you ever played Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy?!?!?
Match Point. What is odd is that it is a Woody Allen movie. You generally don’t expect his movies to:
A) lack a nebbishy whiner
B) have such a dark murder.
An interesting noted about IMDB, you can change the url to see when something was added. The 1st record?
Fred Astaire. Woody Allen is 95.
It’s A Wonderful Life.

Are you calling George evil, or Clarence?
Most of the Cthulu Mythos.
**Unforgiven **(the 1992 Clint Eastwood film). Of course, there were no ‘good guys’ at all in that movie; there were only the ‘bad guys’ and the ‘even worse guys’. But it was, in fact, the ‘bad guys’ that won.
Except that Shakespeare was writing in an England where Henry’s descendants ruled, so i rather suspect he wrote Richard as the bad guy - not to mention him killing the princes, which hadn’t been verified when he wrote.
The Godfather, I & II. The Corleones crush all rivals to their Familiy’s power through lies, deception, intimidation, assaults, blackmail, and murder.
Michael does it all better than anyone else in the business.
ETA: even animal cruelty (the horsehead?)
The Swordsman of Varnis - which should be, but wasn’t, the inspiration for the whip vs sword scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
There is an Erik Frank Russell novel where the hero faces a firing squad at the end of the book - and doesn’t quite get rescued. No spoiler - it is pretty obscure and if I keep you from reading it I did you a favor.
I’ll offer Dr. Strangelove. At the end of the movie, anyway, it appears that the idiots who got the world into that mess were going to both survive and have lots of women. The end of the novelization implies that they didn’t do so well, though.
BTW, while the bad guy wins in the movie of “A Clockwork Orange,” it seems that in the English version the last chapter has Alex repenting. But not in the American version of the novel which I own, so I can’t confirm this.
I liked the little look of panic on the good Lord’s face when Howie makes the suggestion.
I suppose The Big Lebowski wouldn’t really count. The Big Lebowski got away with his fraud, Donny died and all we say the Nihilists lose was an ear and a toe for their troubles and, of course, they finally killed the Dude’s fucking car. But after all that, the Dude still abides
