Planet of the Apes (2001) 10. The Italian Job (2003) The original was a fun late 60’s heist movie and the remake wasted an impressive cast on a boring film whose only goal was to sell Mini Coopers. **Movies where the bad guy wins** 1.

**Movies where the bad guy wins** 1. No Country For Old Men 2. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service His plot is foiled and his lab/lair is destroyed, but Blofeld gets away and, in an attempt at revenge, stages a drive-by shooting that misses Bond but manages to kill his newly-wed wife.
