I never really thought of Gandhi and Stars Wars as Anarchy and Rebellious, but I suppose they are.
Great suggestions guys...
But I have seen them all except for Farenheit 451, Edukators & Reds.
Had not even heard of the last 2..

Zazie dans le metro is pure anarchy, as is Wild in the Streets (1968). Taps is less surreal but is a mainstream flick about rebellion.

Cant believe no one has put this down yet, but The Outsiders was a great youth/rebellion movie. Have to love the book to like the movie, though.

As a precursor to Zazie, I would recommend Zero for Conduct, by French anarchist film-maker Jean Vigo (1933).

I can highly recommand Jean-Pierre Melville's Army of Shadows (1969). It explores the everyday lives of the French freedom fighters when France was occupied by the Nazi's. The film offers a great psychological portrait of the freedom fighters while also boasting off some exciting action sequences.
G_P, I remember you having Melville's fantastic Le Samouraļ on your top 100. I think Army of Shadows is even better...

Another interesting one is The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On (Hara, 1987), not about organized resistence but more of an idiosyncratic personal quest that ends up rubbing up against the Japanese government and breaking all sorts of rules, both institutional rules and unspoken social mores.
Kenzo Okuzaki is a WWII vet who goes around confronting his old war buddies who, along with the state are in denial about Japanese war crimes. He claims that in the waning days of the war his unit illegally executed and cannibalized people, including their own soldiers. The political content of the film is not explicitly anarchist so much as the form of the movie which is a documentary crew following this crazy old guy around as he illegally beats up the geriatric former members of his old unit until they confess to their crimes and admit that they are bad people. The movie also begins with the guy in jail for attacking the Emperor with a rock-and-sling. Pretty fascinating, in equal amounts compelling and disturbing subject.
