Rebel Movies

Whatever happened to rebel movies? Those films about railing against authority, championing any cause so long as it inconveniences "The Man"? I'm talking about movies like Rebel Without a Cause; did they just become unpopular somewhere down the line? Whatever the case, I had a spark of an idea last night; Jim Stark of Rebel Without a Cause and John Bender of The Breakfast Club are kinda similar characters, aren't they?

And then I watched the movies again today and I realised just how wrong I was.
