10 Great Picaresque Movies to Stumble Across the World With

"The picaro from the Spanish for 'rogue' or 'rascal' describes an archetype of hero found in literary classics like Cervantes' Don Quixote and Voltaire's Candide and fulfilled in the filmic mainstream by characters like Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump, that certain brand of travelling everyman to which the world always seems to happen to, and who in good luck and bad always roll with the punches. This is the picaresque, the story of the picaro's zigzagged flight through the tangled web of fate or their wild ride on fortune's wheel where the movements of a life are sped along and all seem to turn on happenstance."
