In what movies did you WANT the bad guys to win?

[KalosCast]

I don't know about wanting them to win, but I generally always find the villains to be the more compelling and deep characters. They're the ones who's motivations you explore, who you really see where they're coming from, how they got here, and why they're doing what they're doing. The protagonist is usually either someone who collects a paycheck doing what they do, or got thrown into an insane thing totally over their head but end up being totally awesome due to the fact that they're in a movie.

For books though, The Bone Parade was one of them where I was really rooting for the villain to win, though it helps that they actually made him the main character.

Law abiding citizen.

At the end I was actually hoping for his daughter's cello to explode thus killing everyone in the room, although I would have been satisfied with the main character simply dying for whatever reason.

 

[Neo10101]

Not a movie, but technically Light in Death Note. He kinda was the bad guy, and wtf he totally should have won

 

[Doclector]

Every werewolf movie ever. I think that's why the sub genre (if it can truly be called that) is so interesting when done right; The antagonist and protaganist are often the same person, often openly so to the audience, meaning you want the monster to stop killing people, but simulateously want it to escape from those that hunt it.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

Sleeping Beauty. Don't know why, I just always wanted that dragon to win.

 

[DaJoW]

All of them. I've never not rooted for the bad guys.

Agreed. If the bad guy would win once in a while maybe movies would be interesting.

 

[Drejer43]

Law Abiding Citizen. It pissed me off that rather than having the hero outsmart him, they just had his IQ drop 50 points.

Dude!! Spoilers!!

 

[coldshadow]

eagle eye, also a space Oddessy. I kinda like robotic overlords

 

[FURY_007]

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, that woulda been interesting if he died. Plus the POS Crystal Skull wouldn't have been made. Well Lucas/Spielberg probably woulda found a way to revive him anyway, but still.

 

[sb666]

most movies i love movies where the antagonist wins

 

[Veldaroth]

Code Name: Diamond Head. I recommend watching the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of it, otherwise the horribleness might drive you insane. The villain was much more interesting than the main character

Law Abiding Citizen

Seriously, the bad guy was the only remotely relatable character in the whole movie

you had:

Spoiler

the Lawyer, who let the murdurers of his family walk free without so much of a care (except for his reputation as a lawyer).

The man himself, seeking revenge against a system that failed him, that allowed his family to be murdered after years and years of service to the system.

The detective that plays little role in the film beyond being a vehicle for scenes with the lawyers

Seriously, who there can you relate to?

 

[Dr. Awesome Face]

This also Kill Bill 1 and 2, the Vipers were much cooler than the bride

Really? I couldn't help but root for the bride, after everything she went through.

 

[Kiba The Wolf]

Natural Born Killers. Woody Harrelson's Character in that was bad ass.

He did win, they escaped jail and left and had kids, so he won

 

[Jon Shannow]

Robin hood films.
The whole "Take from those who have too much and give to those who have too little" really annoys me.
Maybe the man has too much because he earned that fortune through a life of hard work and then a bunch of work-shy arseholes calling themselves "the merry men" rob him and give a little bit of the cash to some poor people and spend the rest on having picnics in the forest

 

[Berserker119]

The Dark Knight. And I don't mean the Joker. He sucks. Two Face FTW.

 

[The Salty Vulcan]

Die hard. They seemed to be on top of everything for almost the enitre movie, matching mclaine's moves but they screw up at the end.

This. In fact, I was rooting for both of the Grüber Brothers. I always wanted Simon to come through though. At least he didn't want needless bloodshed. The guy used Tranq. guns and a fake bomb.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I twenty-secondth Avatar, I couldn't relate to the main characters, the humans were... humans, and the colonel was a badass.

 

[Kiju]

Land Before Time. All of them.

...fucking little bastards should've been eaten by now. :\

Except Ducky, she is awesome.
