Well, yeah. Kind of. The good guys don't win either. So nobody wins, I guess.

Would Oceans 11 etc. count or are charming thieves not considered bad?

They were both likeable and multi-ethnic.
Andy Garcia, though arguably multi-ethnic, is not likeable.

Little Big League - Kid's team doesn't make the playoffs (Griffey Jr. robs a home run)

Mystery, Alaska - The big bad NY Rangers win

All Quiet on the Western Front - Damn Frenchies and Yankees messing up the German's plans

I don't think just listing films with anti-heros as the main characters is really the point of this. There are tonnes of gangster films or w/e where a anti-hero obviously wins.

I think in a lot of these movies 'the bad guy' is still the central character of the movie. So in a movie like 'thankyou for smoking' the main protaganist might be 'bad' you still sympathise and kinda root for them.

I remembered a couple of depressing ones, though they are arguable as far as who the bad guys are. Both are nuclear disaster films, Testament and The Day After. Nuclear fallout, FTL.
