Glad you liked the list. There are so few women that come to mind as Anti-Heroes. The movie La Femme Nikkita with Bridget Fonda would be one. I would also have to say that Natalie Portmans character from The Professional could also be considered an Anti-Heroe. Oh shoot, I guess Milla Jovovich from Resident Evil too….Now I come up with the good ones lol.

Ah, The Bride! How could I forget? She’s a fantastic antihero, a real badass who nevertheless maintains some humanity.

Way to go including Bill Foster — everybody seems to forget about “Falling Down” for some reason. Michael Douglas in general, though, seems to excell about playing heroes with edge to them.

Thanks Heather! I could have second guessed myself on the placement of some of these but decided to post it anyway. Glad you like it.

Jim, this list is AWESOME!

I was thinking about D-Fens for my villains but he wasn’t really a villain, you’re right he’s the perfect anti-hero. Michael Douglas making this list twice is awesome. I love Gordon Gecko. Greed is Good.

And who can argue Travis Bickle as #1?

Ridiculously smooth list.
