Great films where"bad"or "evil" triumphs over "good"?

There will be blood. Both main characters are evil i suppose but 1 trimuphs over the other

I rewatched NCFOM a few days ago. I doubt it would have been accepted as a great work of art by e.g. Tolstoy, if he could have seen it, because the overall effect by the end is of being bludgeoned over the head with chaos and meaninglessness.

Even though the artistry of the film is very great the moral or metaphysical effect is strange and sort-of wrong.

Like *spoiler alert* the way in which the viewer finds out that Moss has been killed by the Mexicans is presented in a way that is extremely nihilistic - on purpose of course. Quite original too.

I think is key to why the Sheriff feels overwhelmed by evil. He has enough religious feeling to expect to meet his father in the afterlife but not enough to see extreme wickedness the way a medieval knight would have seen it - as a sort of ungodly force that doesn't need rational categorisation.

Here are two I enjoyed:

The Devil All The Time

Only God Forgives

Se7en

John Doe wins in the end.

Nightcrawler

Fantastic show! She's such a goddamn bitch, in the best way possible.

Usual suspects surely , Kiser walks away in the end

Alien, Aliens etc, here always seems to be another one

Jadoville(ccob) or empire strikes back?

Hrmm..strugging to try and think of some and why they might fit.

Nineteen Eighty-Four - Totalitarian State

Requiem for a Dream - Addiction

Garage (with Pat Shortt as the lead) - Depression / Hopelessness / Suicide

Valkyrie - based on an attempt to kill Hitler that didn't succeed

End of Watch - Cop killed in Ambush

There's a fair few horror films that would qualify. Off the top of my head films like The Wicker Man, The Omen, Kill List, and Hereditary would all fit the bill.

Flight 93

depending on how one feels about Sigourney Weaver:

Alien

might qualify..
