A rebel without a real cause is one that is lost. These movie rebels, people who break the rules while going against the graine have to A- be unique from the framework of James Dean or B- just be the only likeable character in the film. Let the countdown begin
- Ferris Bueller in Ferris Bueller's day-off. Want a crash course in how to skip school and spend the day to you’re own devices. With many fourth wall breaks. Deadpool hasn't got nothing on this original A-pex -- he ducks his way out of school for graduation and steals a Ferrari and drives through Chicago. Rebel. Right.
- Cool Hand Luke. Just ask you dad about this one, a comedy set inside a working jail. He just can't help himself -- his does not follow the sadistic wardens rules and grow admiration from his prison friends who admire his unbreakable will. A classic. Trust me, he’s shakin it, boss. After the movies almost finished even some of the officers in prison grow to admire good ol’ Luke.
- A group of the most ridiculous groups of vigilantes band together to fight crime. In this group is a vigilante group called Big Daddy, played as expected from the great Nick Cage and his daughter; Hit-Girl who specialize in minors with guns and knifes inflicting such pain on whomever comes across these two. SPOILERS. Big Daddy doesnt make it, and Hit-Girl enacts vengeance. Here’s that bit. Hahaha.
- Of Course we can’t forget Agent Smith. I know Neo is the chosen one, but in the sequels Agent Smith instead of going to source for deletion he turns into the virus he once hated and spreads through the Matrix and becomes a real important part of Neo redeeming the Matrix for good. “Is it over?”
- V for Vendetta another Wachowski stamped movie, they wrote the script, is this adaptation of Alan Moore’s comic book. It is about a revolution in all aspects; a grand statement is made by Moore, and by the film's nice adaption; so with that you need some kind of rebel creating this movement, one that has been adopted by real life cyber vigilantes Anonymous. That would be V.
- One of the better movies from Guy Ritchie is a sting-kind-of gangster/comedy movie. Memorable moments and nice montage style of editing. With a string of great characters, but one is gypsie played unrecognizably by Brad Pitt. “Who wants to buy a caravan with no f*cking wheels.” An actual American pulling off something as ranged as a gyspie character kind like how british people are always playing americans. I’d say he’s a rebel, he messes up the boxing match at the end of the film, then there is a the twist, and it turns out this drunk, one punch champ is the real winner in this arm-chopping, bank robbing british comedy.
- Thelma & Louise. Two normal girl friends take a break from their lives and take short fishing trip. But a small road trip turns into a flee from the law when Louise shoots a man in a bar who was trying to rape Thelma. Obviously Ridley Scott is making a feminist statement with this as our girls were in the right, but feel the need to flee from the law. Ending in poetic ending when they reach the end of their journey.
- Mad Max. not really a rebel compared to the wasteland he is in. But after his wife and kid where ran down by a group of crazed gangsters lead by the toecutter -- Max turns animalistic and delirious with rage that consumes him into two sequels towards redeeming the family he lost to a nuclear waste that has no mercy for the light hearted. Forget the remake. This is Mad Max.
- James Dean in A Rebel Without A Curse. He broke the landscape with this performance that in the end would inspire nearly every actor today as he give an unheard of performance that could have only be matched by the like’s of Brando back then. The scene in the station is still better acting then even methodist would give in today's films. Great actor.
- Hunter .S. Thompson in general. Not just his character in his books or the subsequent films. Johnny Depp played the Duke in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Bill Murray homed in on Hunter in Where the Buffalo’s Roam. Instead of explaining the films. Let me run the the daily routine of Hunter on any given day right up till he died from a self inflicted gunshot wound.
