In The Company Of Men

Devil's Advocate

Interview With The Vampire

Se7en

Nightcrawler

American Psycho

Arguably No Country For Old Men

A lot of documentaries e.g: Paradise Lost.

Devil’s Advocate

I'd say evil loses quite definitively in that one - although the final minute or so makes it clear the contest of wills isn't over.

The reason why I think it wins is it becomes obvious Satan can have do-overs and he's already falling for one of them. He hasn't actually escaped, and Satan is still having fun at his expense.
