i never rely on anybody's opinions when it comes to movies.
One guy told me Cable Guy was really great...

Anyway, R.I.P.....

Harry Knowles remembers CB.

Like him or not he was an action icon in the 80's. Hell, for being a ugly midget he was on the same level as arnold and stallone for a while. Gotta respect that.

I remember visiting some friends in Sand Diego in 1990. After a night out they told me they were going to take me to “Charlie B’s” house. I had no idea what they doing but after an hour of driving the car lights shown upon the creepiest site I’ve ever seen. A small ranch style house with a gigantic portrait of Charles Bronson painted on the side of it. Can you imagine being a robber? That’s one house I’d forget about I think!
I grew up watching TV with my father. He was a big Clint Eastwood fan and liked some Charlie B too. I never really liked his movies except for The Great Escape. But whenever a Clint, John Wayne, or Charlie B movie is on the tube on a lazy Saturday afternoon it always gives me a good feeling to watch those, thinking back on those days with Dad.
Sorry for all the sap guys. I just had to get it out.

Charles Bronson rules. End of discussion.
he has been in a couple of genre-defining movies and he's the original action/vigilante hero!

Charles Bronson, a Pennsylvania coal miner who drifted into films as a villain and became a hard-faced action star, notably in the popular "Death Wish" vengeance movies, has died. He was 81.
Bronson died Saturday of pneumonia at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
At the height of his career, Bronson was hugely popular in Europe, where the French knew him as "le sacré monstre" (the great monster) and the Italians as "Il Brutto" (the brute). In 1971, he was presented a Golden Globe as "the most popular actor in the world."
Like Clint Eastwood, whose spaghetti westerns won him stardom, Bronson had to make European films to prove himself.
At age 50, he returned to Hollywood a star.
His early life gave no indication of his later fame. He was born Charles Buchinsky on Nov. 3, 1921, in Ehrenfeld, Pa. He was the 11th of 15 children of a coal miner and his wife, both Lithuanian immigrants.
His father died when he was 10, and at 16 he followed his brothers into the mines. He was paid $1 per ton of coal and volunteered for perilous jobs because the pay was better. He also went to jail for assault and robbery.
Drafted in 1943, he served with the Air Force in the Pacific.

i actually didn't want to start to argue about CB, i'm happy for once that some people agree with me on this one .. or think the same. CB was a great 70's icon and i think he had a lot of style..
and yes that makes him a good actor..

The Mechanic's a great film. One of my friends has all his movies on video.

charles bronson was a member of a fine league of actors that had lived the life and were hard because they had seen the real horrors of war and that made them hard as nails, bronson, burt lancaster, jack palance,ernest borgnine and whole host of others..

what is that all about??
everybody gotta go someday.. there is no glamour and there are no stars.
- JazX0
he was 81, it was his time, but he had a great hardened face that made him seem 'real' in movies.
