Looking for Movies with a Bold, Carefree Male Lead Who Lives Life Without Boundaries

I'm looking for movies where the male lead stands out from the crowd, living life on his own terms with no real responsibilities or boundaries. Not looking for a political figure, gang leader, or anything like that—just a man who is strong, confident, adventurous, and carefree. Someone who's having fun, seeking adventure, womanizing, and doing whatever he feels like, as if he’s in a lawless land where strength means no repercussions. A true alpha male who's bold, daring, and unrestrained.

I haven’t read the book or seen the movies based on it but I think that is the theme of The Razor's Edge by W. Somerset Maugham.

Also maybe For Whom the Bells Toll by Ernest Hemingway.

The Moon & Sixpence - based loosely on the life of Gaugin

But the character is basically indistinguishable from a sociopath. George Sanders was born to play the role.

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (1998.) I found it unwatchable... best scene was in my favorite tiki bar that is now just history...

Also "Where The Buffalo Roam" (1980) with Bill Murray. Also unwatchable.
