Charles Bronson



Hell yeah.

At one point he was the highest paid actor out there.

I've been going back this week and watching all the Death Wish movies, and had forgot how fun those are. The first and third movies were my favorite of the series.

So what are your favorite Bronson movies?

Death Wish

The Magnificent Seven

The Great Escape

The Dirty Dozen

You missed his best movie, which is a billion times better than anything on your list, particularly the completely shit Magnificent Seven.

Not to mention the best character reveal in all cinematic history (although Robards steals the movie):

It's been thirteen years since I've seen OUATITW.

Here's Part 2 because the Kid's a heathen to leave us hanging like that:

It has been quite a long time since I've seen that one. Also, the ones I've listed are movies I've seen more recently. I've still a lot of them to watch that I've not seen. I'm going to watch that one again now if I can find it on any of the services I have.

He was in a shit load of movies. It's pretty amazing to me.

Once upon a time is fantastic. He's pretty good in the great escape and the dirty dozen too.

Paul Kersey goes to Tucson in Death Wish 1, to talk to a real-estate developer about his plans. The developer says "I don't want to build something that's just going to be a slum in 10 years". He's standing in front of a sign with his address on it.

His address is at the intersection of Grant and Alvernon. It's now a great place to get stabbed while you buy meth.

The Mechanic, his portrayal of an assassin made a lasting impression, even Vincent couldn't ruin it. Hard Times, for a great turn as the archetypical Bronson.

This is the first film I saw him in and I've been a fan since.

Telefon I remember as being good too.

Bronson dying in this one is classic comedy gold....
