We all love a straight-edge good guy, but sometimes it’s more compelling to have a morally grey, does-what-he-pleases bad guy going good. One of cinema’s first antiheroes of note was Clint Eastwood’s The Man With No Name, and antiheroes have only gotten more and more popular since then.
Alex DeLarge
A Clockwork Orange is a masterpiece of antihero writing. Alex (Malcolm McDowell) is a jaunty pervert and murderer who goes around beating people to showtunes and classical music. His exaggerated levels of enjoyment and swagger around his ultraviolence is so compelling to the audience.
