“You’ve got mail!”, he’s a soulless corporate shark feeding on mom&pop businesses. “Bachelor party” and “The money pit”, he’s basically a jerk in both. “Saving Private Ryan” and “Forrest Gump”, he goes to war to kill people. “Philadelphia”, he’s a big firm lawyer who turns good (marginally) just because he gets a dose of his own medicine. “That thing you do”, he destroys a band trying to make an extra buck of profit. “A league of their own”, drunk failure. “The bonfire of vanities”, cheating on his wife, Wall Street broker (thief with a certificate basically). “The lady killers”, he’s a criminal and a murderer… kinda… “Apollo 13”, failed his mission. "The Da Vinci code maybe the character itself is not that bad but, just because the movie is a piece of crap, it deserves a place in this list :D
Who you calling a jerk, you Yank? I am Ironman! Yes, I am. Fe is the chemical symbol for iron. And I’m fe-male. So I am Ironman. Watch out. There are millions of us!
“Forrest Gump”. Worst movie ever to win Best Picture Oscar. When it won over “The Shawshank Redemption”, I wanted to throw a brick through my TV screen.
Spider-Man, at least the Tom Holland and Toby Maguire versions (except the portions of Spider-Man 3 where Toby Maguire was being a dick under the influence of Venom). I actually enjoyed the Andrew Garfield movies as well, but his Peter Parker was kind of surly.
Captain America and Superman are the two who (in theory) are always Good and always Right (it’s part of their deal), but that’s part of what makes them hard to write.

I’m trying to think of a counter example, but I’ve got nothing.

Modern movies? NO. But practically any cowboy movie star before 1960, yes.
