Charles Bronson died 16 years ago to the day. Here's my top 5 for Bronson's movies:
1. Hard Times
2. Death Wish
3. Breakheart Pass
4. Once Upon a Time in The West
5. (tie) The Magnificent Seven (tie) The Great Escape (tie) The Dirty Dozen
I put those last three movies in a tie because while they are all classic movies - they are ensemble movies where Bronson was not the true lead actor. Just missing the list was Mr. Majestyk (one of my favorites).
When I was a kid one of the arguments I remember having with my friends is who would win a fight between Charles Bronson and Bruce Lee. I'm still picking Charles Bronson.
I was going to disagree, but your qualifier is legitimate.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on Bronson. Mr. Majestyk is a favorite along with the charming From Noon to Three. I pick Bronson over Lee.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how - but I have never heard about From Noon to Three before.
ReplyDeleteWill have to give it a watch.
So many other movies could have made the list Telefon, Red Sun, The Mechanic, and Death Hunt among them.
