Antihero recommendations
I have to write a story idea featuring an antihero for a class . Just want to view some movies with the archetype in full play. Can you suggest good antihero movies? The more archetypal, the better--but having said that, movies that screw with the formula will also be interesting.
What would the archetype include anyway? Some sort of quest, a protagonist with a noble goal who goes about it in an less than noble way, etc. I've read some books on mythical structure, so I'm thinking there should be a love interest, a gang, a mentor, etc.
Any ideas / input? Thanks.
P.S. Please don't make me watch any Pitch Black / Riddick movies.

The Shield (just about every character is an anti-hero in one way or another, particularly Vic Mackey)

How do you figure? The main character is a struggling rock star, engaged and ready to married. Sounds like a regular guy to me.
