No, Judith O’Dey survived. Yes, the first version of IotBS ended that way - and the remake started that way, with the same actor repeating the line.
Depends. I think in the original, only ben survives and is shoot at the end by zombie hunters who see him through the window.
In the Remake, Barabra survives and manages to make it to the zombie hunters camp.
Apollo Creed could hardly be considered the “bad” guy in this movie. He gave a shot to an unknow fighter. Rocky had great respect for Apollo. Plus Rocky “won” because he went the distance with Apollo - something no one else had done - thus proving he “wernt just another bum from the neighborhood”. Rocky won the clasic battle of man against himself. The fact that Apollo wins the decision is inconsequential. I think you missed the whole point of this movie.
I was going to say that. Rosemary loving the baby just makes the Devil’s job easier. Kind of like the end of the novel 1984.
For my contribution, how about Bambi Meets Godzilla.
Primal Fear most definetly. Though I was beginning to see what was going to happen in the end, it still was a bit of a suprise.
Birth of a Nation. I mean sure Mr Griffith portrayed them as Good guys but I can hardly think of the Clan as anything but Villians. Watching them overthrow the legislature after they removed the right to vote from the former slaves and riding many out of town … Damn they sure aren’t heros in my book
I don’t know if anybody has said this but no one will probably read this anyway so it doesn’t matter. In U-Turn, everybody dies (mostly). That’s just as bad as having the “bad guy” win. That was, I must say, the most messed up movie I have ever watched.
In the Company of Men. Aaron Eckhart’s character does not get what he deserves, which makes the movie more disturbing but less violent.
Swimming with Sharks. Kevin Spacey was great in this. It’s an interesting movie – it’s hard to keep the audience on Frank Whaley’s side when he’s rubbing salt into Kevin Spacey’s wounds. But still, I wish that Frank Whaley’s character never would have given in to Hollywood’s heirarchy.
Unforgiven. Clint Eastwood starts as a reformed former gunfighter, and by the end of the story, he’s a heartless murderer. A very tragic movie.
I think it can be persuasively argued that Little Bill was the real bad guy, although William Muny was undoubtedly bad as well…though I don’t know if you can say he really wins anything.
The real winner was the Schofield Kid…he walked away from the life.
My vote goes to In the Mouth of Madness – pretty much the ultimate “bad guy wins” movie. Hell, it isn’t just that the “bad guy” wins, it’s that pure, ichor-laden, unspeakable EEEEEEEE-VIL wins. Normally I would find this to be kind of a downer of an ending, but considering the cynical, satirical nature of that film, it seemed somehow appropriate. One of John Carpenter’s most underrated movies, IMHO (and a great, darkly funny performance by Sam Neill).
I’ll cite Kind Hearts and Coronets. Exactly how many people does Alex Guiness play in it?
Actually, to those who said Ocean’s Eleven, at the end of the movie, when Clooney, Roberts, and Pitt’s characters are driving away, you see two of Benedict’s guy’s follow them.
They don’t show it, but it seems clear to me that Benedict gets all of them in the end. So, if you consider him the good guy, he wins.
He plays all eight members of the D’Ascoyne family.
However, the bad guy doesn’t win in that movie. Louis Mazzini was arrested on charges of murder. Assuming they’ve gripped him for the murder of his relatives, he sets about writing his confession in his cell - said confession forming the narrative of the movie. In the end, it turns out that it wasn’t the murder of the D’Ascoynes he was arrested for but rather a murder he ddin’t commit, and so they release him…
… leaving his written confession to eight murders in his cell …
Sorry, Kyuzo, but nobody gets Ocean. If they had, they wouldn’t be making Ocean’s Twelve.
Memento
Gosford Park
The Usual Suspects
In all of these the murder(s) are commited and the guilty escape.
Can’t believe no one mentioned:
“The Usual Suspects”
D.
Actually, The Usual Suspects is mentioned in the OP.
As for Night of the Living Dead, there’s a movie called Return of the Night of the Living Dead, where nobody wins. Right at the climax, they just blow the whole city up and everyone
dies
at the end.
The Long Good Friday
A brilliant film starring Bob Hoskins in the performance of a lifetime. Wonderful accents. Twisty but coherent plot. There are no good guys in this film. Love it.
