I am not sure I'd consider Alex from A Clockwork Orange as an anti-hero. He is both a murderer and a rapist, with no reason given for being either beyond he enjoyed it. He may have been mistreated by the authorities afterwards, but I don't think anybody could say it was entirely undeserved.

You also missed Riddick, who is pretty much the definition of an anti-hero.

I wouldn't call Rorschach an anti-hero. He was fighting the good fight, although in a very black-and-white-no-compromises way.

Quite some on this list i would consider the villains of their movie.
But then i consider some movies have no hero or even a protagonist.

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

I'm not quite sure i agree that Eric Draven is an anti hero. Also no love for Han Solo?

Yeah Vin Diesel should be on anybody's anti Hero list, Riddick, Toretto, Toorop, Xander Cage, the guy has made a successful career out of anti-hero.

That's still fitting in the anti-hero category. The "anti-" doesn't mean "villain" or "evil" it's more in line with distanced from the classical heroic traits.

With that, as some people have said, protagonists don't fit the bill of being an anti-hero just because they're a villain protagonist.

Either way, erm. Yeah. lists. Woo!
