I doubt I’ll be bothering with any once I’ve seen End Game

Out of all the post endgame films, the only 2 that I've enjoyed are "Spiderman: No way home" (really enjoyable just for Willem Dafoe alone) and Guardians Vol 3. (really good) - the rest are very passable, Thor 4 as someone else said is absolute turdwaffle, got bored of Black Widow after 20 minutes and turned it off, and I can't remember what else there was, which goes to show how forgettable the others are.

I skipped black widow (I’m watching chronologically) and have no regrets. Looks shit. 
 

I MIGHT watch the spiderman films. I did enjoy homecoming. It’s about time they managed a good Spider-Man movies after the other 5 or 6 abominations

Florence Pugh’s Yelena is one of my favourite MCU characters although she’s probably at her best in Hawkeye.

Hawkeye is another one I won’t be going near

Shame, it’s pretty decent.  Infinitely superior to a lot of the crap you’ve already put yourself through 😆

Are there any famous films where the "baddies" score a total win?

The Great Escape sees most of the escapees murdered.  A few get away.  That's not a total win.  

There is probably a factual film that meets that criteria.  

Is there a fictional one?   

The Silence Of The Lambs sees Lecter escape.  But Starling solves a murder, rescues a hostage and kills Buffalo Bill.   That's not a total win.  

Any ideas?

Yeah there are, but presumably if they’re listed and someone hasn’t seen it, you’re kinda spoiling the ending for them.

Here’s one -

Spoiler

It’s a paranoia laced crime/thriller that stars Jeff Bridges

Oh you’re still keen to know what film I’m referring to? Ok, if you really want to know, click the next spoiler. You have had sufficient warning so don’t blame me if you’ve been meaning to watch this and you’re spoiling it for yourself…

Spoiler

Arlington Road.

Bloody hell, chalk that one up as a win for the baddies.

great shout that.

The Empire Strikes Back springs to mind (but you'll say some get away I suppose)

So I'll say Angel Heart

Forgot about Black Panther 2... Another I turned off after about 25 minutes. Just knew it wasn't for me as it bored my backside off.
