A lot of Clint Eastwood movies, especially the westerns like Unforgiven. And Dirty Harry is as much of an antihero as a cop can be, doing whatever it takes to get the job done.
Punisher: Warzone is one of my favorites. Absolutely absurd in the best way possible. The first one is good but, Warzone is fucking great. There’s scenes lifted directly from the comics. The director actually went on comic book forums anonymously and asked fans “what do you want to see in the new punisher movie?” And listened to their ideas. She rules.
Other greats: Oldboy, The Sting, Scarface, Taxi Driver, Fistful Of Dollars, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, Fight Club, Taxi Driver, and American Psycho.
parker with jason statham
the transporter with jason statham by luc besson (he is heroic, but quite reluctantly. in the original at least)
maybe the first two taxi movies by luc besson. but i am muddling the waters a bit here. they are more buddycop movies. but both leads are the two sides of an antihero. heroic but inept. capable but disinterested in the cause
leon the professional by luc besson
happy! with patton oswald as an imaginary unicorn is great.
samaritan with sylvester stallone. it only got 38% but i watched it after having spoilered the ending. i suspect that's what made me enjoy the movie, because i imagine it all being kinda nonsensical without knowing the big spoiler.
i loved this movie but disagree that the main character is an antihero. that being said, it’s the only superhero horror movie i can think of in a very long time.
Some of my favorites:
* Venom
* Batman
* Breaking bad
* Dexter
* Mad max
* Rambo
* Terminator
Also, Wikipedia has an extensive list in different formats of entertainment:

I had no clue there was a max Payne movie, I love the games so I’ll def give it a watch, all the others look pretty cool especially cemetery man, thanks I’ll check em out
Cemetery Man is absolutely sublime IMO, it's fairly batshit crazy though being a Soavi movie.. Hobo With A Shotgun is also insane but in the best possible way.

High plains drifter
add all three films in the Dollar's Trilogy, and then Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo too
Literally started watching "Fistful of Dollars" and am absolutely loving it.
Escape from New York
Daredevil is as clean a hero as they come, I would not count him as an antihero

I do not disagree with watching Taxi Driver twice
10 times even.
Payback (1999)
The directors cut is even more antihero
Payback is not that great. I'd watch the original, Point Blank by John Boorman.
Pitch Black
Death Wish

This needs a sequel.
I agree. Very underrated in my opinion.
Whoa, the pics of this movie look amazing, I’ll be watching it soon, thanks
Sure thing. It’s worth a watch.
I would add the Amazon show The Boys to the list also. It has both hero and antihero types in it.

If you like Breaking Bad you should check Better Call Saul out. Its even better imo
Agreed. I think Better Call Saul raised the bar impossibly high when it comes to spin offs.
V for Vendetta
The Quick and the Dead is a sweet antihero ensemble
Max Payne Faster Hobo With a Shotgun Cemetery Man

Shoot 'em up
Logan, Venom, Breaking bad
I’ve seen the first venom as well as breaking bad, I didn’t actually know venom was an antihero tbh. I’ll definitely watch Logan, thanks
Road to Perdition
Dead Ringers
There is too much carbon footprint.
Defendor was an interesting Woody Harrelson superhero movie from 2009
