Top Good Movies Where The Bad Guy Wins

Ok ok, I can see you are the kind of person who hates to see movies having those damn good guys (yea, heroes) winning every time at the end of the movies. I mean when we start to watch a film we apparently decide that the good guy will surely win at the end, that is something which some movie freaks hate. So I thought of making this list of movies where the bad guy wins. Sometimes villains are cool looking guys, and all their actions are splendid. So here is my list of top good movies where the villain wins. I would not have mentioned some films, either I wouldn’t have watched it, or I don’t recommend it that much. Cheers. 🙂
