    I would like to see a movie where the goods guys don't win. Yanno, good vs evil and evil wins out, the world is taken over and everyone suffers .. something like that. Sometimes these touchy feely good always wins gets annoying. I wanna see death and destruction, pain and torment (aside from watching Pauly Shore movies LOL)

    Try watching Fallen. It's a good flick, and the good guy (Denzel Washington) doesn't win.

    I think also Natural Born Killers, Swordfish, The Grudge (though I personally didn't really like this movie), Dawn of the Dead, The Usual Suspects, White Noise, I will post more if I think of it.

    Thinking about it, very few of my favourite films have the "good guys" "winning"... perhaps you have been watching the wrong sort of films:p Try:

    Blow Up
    Peeping Tom
    A Short Film About Killing
    A Clockwork Orange
    Midnight Cowboy
    Night of the Living Dead
    Easy Rider

    ya, you must clarify "good guys" "bad guys" and pro and antagonist cause those can be very different things...

    This is weird. Back in the 80's when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, Hollywood made Rambo III and a James Bond movie which showed that the Afghani rebels were the good guys and they won(mainly from the help of Sylvester Stallone). Now they are nasty terrorists that want to blow us all to pieces! So I suppose in a way the bad guys won.

    The Usual Suspects - and, as a bonus, the film kicks ASS. (I love Kevin Spacey)
