    What are your favorite movies in which the protagonist is actually a "bad" guy?

    I was thinking about this earlier, and I realized that some of my favorite movies were in this category.
    Here are a few of my favorites...

    Godfather I, II, and III
    Ocean's 11(Original and remake)
    Goodfellas
    Scarface
    Road to Perdition

    I had thought of more, but I have suddenly blanked...:mad:

    I would have to agree with Blow. Because I dont think I have ever felt so sad for a character before.

    The nice guys always get kicked in the ass.:(
