One word: Watchmen. I know not everyone enjoys this movie, but it's pretty much the only one I can think of where the villain, not only wins, but takes over the world.
Unless you count 1984 ^^
I am writing a book that's similar to this. The main character goes on a journey to train and become powerful, but the villain is unknowingly strong. Peace returns to the land as the war is stopped.
