Hollywood is complicit in this in no small part. Anti-authority, bad-boy-bad girl images, those that get away with nose-thumbing, all generate a picture of the little guy striking back....How right you are! And let's not forget this movie ("Bonnie & Clyde") was hardly a rarity. Two very famous one's that leap to mind are "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid", and "Mutiny on the Bounty", w/ C. Laughton (sp?).... let's not even start with "Roots"!

Let us not forget that "Bonnie and Clyde" was a landmark film when it came out in 1967.
Now, Hollywood could make European style movies with anti-heroes and without happy endings. The Hayes Code was kaput.
