Default Movies where the bad guy wins

Feel free to delete if desired. Apologies if this spoils a movie for you, but you don't have to read the titles. I kind of like movies where the bad guy accomplishes his goal or wins.

Some examples:

Swordfish
Seven
Arlington Road
I think one or two of the Rocky Movies.
Saw movies

I'm sure there are a ton of others, but my mind is failing right now.

The Usual Suspects was 1st thing that popped in my mind

I guess Goodfellas is kinda of the same thing

If they make a Guilty Gear movie, I'm sure Badguy will win.

Chinatown
Would Dr. Strangelove count? Who qualifies as the bad guys, anyway?
What about movies with more ambiguously defined good and bad guys? Does The Royal Tenenbaums count because Royal got to spend time with his family in the end, or was he redeemed enough that he is no longer the "bad guy"? Isn't this all a matter of perspective?

I always sort of hated "Training Day" because I wanted the bad guy to win. IMO that movie would be like, epic top-5-all-time if Denzel just kills that pussy Ethan Hawke and then kills all those Russian dudes and goes on being badass.

Depending on your definition of "bad guy"...

Gone in 60 Seconds
Blue Streak

yeah, IMO for gone in 60 seconds, the wood carving obsessed guy (Dimitri?) would have needed to win in the fight with cage and kill the little brother. Which could have been a decent ending instead of that crap line that by sphinx at the end referring to toby's injury.

Haven't seen blue streak.
