AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies

Season 1 Episode 8: The Antiheroes

They are the outcasts. They make their own rules, they live outside the law, they have no need for our love, anybody's love. But we love them anyway — for the boldness of their transgressions, the way they express our ultimate fantasy — that once, just once, we might do what we want to do and not count the consequences. By including here the film that made John Wayne a star — playing, don't forget, an outcast — we mean to suggest how often what seems to be conventional American heroism partakes of the antiheroic. Films include: CITIZEN KANE, NORTH BY NORTHWEST, BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID, THE WILD BUNCH, M*A*S*H, TAXI DRIVER, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, RAGING BULL.
