 | Mr Majestyk
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.88 Over time, this has become my favorite Bronson film. He's tough, he's sarcastic, and he faces a foe in Al Lettieri who had to be one of the best villains in a Bronson film. The essence of Bronson!
|
 | Once Upon a Time in the West
Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $2.50 Long before John Woo, Sergio Leone was making guys look cool. The movie featured a mean Henry Fonda, a perceptive Jason Robards, and a voluptuous Claudia Cardinale, but Bronson owned the film.
|
 | Hard Times
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $4.93 Walter Hill's directorial debut features a great physical performance from Bronson (he was in his mid-fifties at the time). It also re-unites him with his wonderful Magnificent 7 co-star James Coburn.
|
 | Death Wish 3
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.93 My all-time favorite guilty pleasure Bronson film. This movie is made for teenage boys due to it's simplistic plotting and video game execution. I was about 14 or 15 when I discovered it.
|
 | Rider on the Rain
Buy used from: $17.98 Featuring Bronson at his most charismatic, this film has often been described as 'Hitchockian.' That's not too far off. Marlene Jobert is sympathetic and Bronson has never been better as an actor.
|
 | Red Sun
Buy used from: $999.99 Bronson! Mifune! Delon! All icons of international cinema. If you like these guys, you'll like this movie. They're 3 of my favorites.
|
 | Breakout
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.86 We've all heard of Bronson, the tough guy, but BREAKOUT features an uncharacteristically funny performance by Bronson, making it a unique and enjoyable Bronson experience.
|
 | Murphy's Law (1986)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.60 Our hero must work with a young, foul-mouthed, female car thief to take down the mob, crooked cops, and a psychotic killer.
|
 | Breakheart Pass
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.45 Great Cast: Bronson, Ben Johnson, Richard Crenna, Charles Durning, and a host of great charactor actors make this one of Bronson's most prestigious projects. Cool train and great scenery, too.
|
 | Death Wish
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $2.37 Made Bronson a superstar in the U.S. and spawned 4 sequels and countless imitations. Controversial 70's action classic features a memorable sock full of quarters and a still-disgusting rape scene.
|
 | Death Hunt
Buy used from: $24.98 Bronson was paired once again with a mega-star, in this case, Lee Marvin, with whom he had worked with in THE DIRTY DOZEN. Bronson doesn't say much, a trademark of his 80's films, but he kills good.
|
 | St. Ives
Buy used from: $1.62 Change of pace role features Bronson as a sophisticated author, who finds himself in danger while assisting billionaire John Houseman. Bisset is beautiful and its fun to see a sophisticated Bronson.
|
 | The Mechanic
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $6.48 Best ending of any Charles Bronson film ever made! Charlie is cool, the premise is intriguing, and Jan-Michael Vincent is quite bad as the hit man in training.
|
 | Violent City
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $4.50 Every character in this movie, including Bronson, is as sorry as dirt and deserves death. A pessimistic film can be fun.
|
 | Chato's Land
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.23 The definition of stage presence: Bronson dominates every frame of this film and appears for less than 15 minutes and says less than 10 words.
|
 | The Evil That Men Do
Buy used from: $10.98 Another of my favorite Bronson guilty pleasures. If taken seriously these movies are quite disturbing. As comic book fantasy, they are quite entertaining, especially to teenage boys.
|
 | Honor Among Thieves
Buy used from: $6.50 Bronson and Alain Delon teamed up for the first time in this 1968 film and made box office history in France and turned Bronson into an international phenomenon. It's also a pretty good movie.
|
 | The Valachi Papers
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.67 Bronson in GODFATHER territory is quite interesting.

Listmania!
