The Lego Movie.

Just read the lego threads on this forum. Everyone follows the instructions. You must be the baddy if you ignore them.

Jaws
I dont think youre the winner when you have been blown to smithereens by an exploding gas cylinder in your mouth
But if Jaws really died, how did they make sequels?
(the disclaimer is that I haven't seen any of the sequels so I don't know if it was explained by it being a different shark, although I assume it was.)

Fallen is one of my favourite films, and sort of fits this criteria. I agree the definition of goodie and baddie can become blurred, but I think it is all about who you feel you should "root for".

Also he tried to confess and take responsibility - he wanted that at the end.

I was gonna say Das Boot but then I came across all middle-aged and pacifistic and thought, in the end, it simply proved that nobody really "won" frown
