Films where the bad guys win?
Discussion
Was just thinking about this and I cant think up much of a list.
So far all I can think of is:
Dukes of Hazard - clutching at straws a bit although we are all rooting for the Duke boys they are technically the law breakers.
Smokey & The Bandit - again same as above the police lose and the naughty but cool characters win.
Any proper baddie victories?

Plenty really,
No Country for Old Men is pretty much where the bad guy gets away with it, Hannibal Lecter in Hannibal becomes a hero psycho slasher, incredibly!
DR Zhivago was pretty sad with Russia winning, Bridge over the River Kwai has messed with my mind all my life as I can't see any winners there!
Titanic is a bit obvious - bad guy=iceberg?!
Se7en?
I thought Kill List was an interesting one, really awful bad guy get done over by badder guys in the end. Didn't really like that one.

Arguably "A Bridge Too Far".
The Italian film about El Alamein.
You might argue several films about the life of Christ, extended to "Life of Brian".
On that note, Monty Python's the Holy Grail.
Oooh, can any one beat "The Wicker Man"?
(ETA the person two above me).
'The Wicker Man' - hmm, Paganism vs. Christianity, I'm on the fence here. Anyway, look at Summerisle's face when Howie tells him "next year they'll be coming for you!"The Italian film about El Alamein.

My choices:
Run with the Devil
Easy Rider
Electra Glide in Blue
Vanishing Point
Birth of a Nation
