Though I'm not so presumptuous as to get into my entire A Clockwork Orange rant only a couple days after I joined the forums, but I'm glad that Alex didn't make anyone's top 5 teen rebels, and not only because McDowell was 28 when he played the role (though the character himself is 15!). Alex is anything but a teen rebel - he's the quintessential unthinking teen conformist, which is what both Kubrick and Burgess (but especially Burgess) were trying to get across. Sure, Alex hates his parents, but not for any real reason - it's just what kids do in that London.
