    Good list! Yeah, I was thinking of Dawn of the Dead. Hadn't thought of Swordfish (which had some seriously disturbing shit in it) or NBK.

    How about Phantasm. (or the sequels)
    Ghost Ship is another.
    The first Jeepers Creepers.
    The Day After.
    The remake of The Blob.
    The Lawnmower Man.

    Yeah, House of 1000 Corpses WAS about the shittiest, lamest, unscariest horror film I ever did see.

    But didn't the bad guys win in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? I can't remember, now.

    I think the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a draw, because the girl escaped.
    As for Power 13's comment:

    That's about the funniest thing I've read in a while. Definately deserves a vote of approval.

    The Mission. Really a touching, impressive movie that will give you lots to think about.

    What I was getting to are movies like Omen and the up coming Constantine, where evil wins out and good is done in.

    or in the first Star Wars movie .. Luke misses and the death star blows the shit out of Yavin (rebel base planet) and the Empire takes total control of the universe.

    or even Indiana Jones doesn't get the arc and the Germans get ahold of it and Germany rules the world

    yanno, something along those lines.

    Movies that define people as "good" or "bad" are shit in themselves.

    I am constantly annoyed when awesome antagonists do not prevail in the end of a movie. Also, I would simply like a character to express their dark side rather than remaining one-demensional.

    For example, I was watching the sequel to Spiderman, (I am not a fan of either movie), and when the main character discovers he just killed his best friend's dad, I had this small hope that maybe that he would suddenly turn evil. In both movies all this dramatic stuff/death occurs, and he continues to be this "noble guy" who wants to help people, blah blah blah... He remains as a 1-D character who lives in a universe with strict of morals and values and relies heavily on duality.

    Anyway, I went on a rant about that...

    Another movie that comes to mind is ConAir. It is a ridiculous movie, but I would have much rather seen Nicholas Cage get killed off than John Malcovich, who I thought was the most lively character in the movie.

    :) In love,

    Diana
