Infamous and beloved for its jarring genre shift, Robert Rodriguez’s caper follows the Bonnie and Clyde mold up until a point. Centered on the psychotic Gecko Brothers, From Dusk Till Dawn looked like a gritty update of the criminal road trip before vampires and comical amounts of gore popped up. The movie is subversive but not like Beatty and Duna...
Though a period piece, Bonnie and Clyde embodies the generational angst of the ‘60s, and this bitterness is carried on in Gregg Araki’s black comedy. Focusing on a trio of aimlessly aggressive and hedonistic teenagers, The Doom Generation earns its name with its pessimistic outlook on life and rejection of a mundane future. The second entry in Arak...
Rightfully dubbed “the most expensive student film ever made,” Oliver Stone’s satire of crime and celebrity culture is basically Bonnie and Clyde on a bad drug trip.

Tony Scott’s action-packed romance is the closest to a Bonnie and Clyde remake in this list. More idealistic and romanticized than its inspiration, True Romancefunctions more like a fairytale than a statement. The end result is a heartwarming if edgy love story that gives its lovers the happy ending that eluded Bonnie and Clyde. It also put Quentin...
This pitch-black comedy drops Bonnie and Clyde in a public high school setting, where it then proceeds to laugh at its criminal couple instead of idolizing them.
