Charles Bronson Top Ten

 For fun

1) Once Upon a Time in the West (1969) - no one missed Eastwood

2) The Great Escape (1963) - touching, sad, likeable, complex

3) The Magnificent Seven (1960) - as above

4) Machine Gun Kelly (1958) - Corman gave many people his break - here was Bronson

5) The Dirty Dozen (1967) - I think he was getting sick of being a second lead by now but he was so good at it

6) The Mechanic (1972) - made with such skill it's a jolt to realise Michael Winner did this

7) Hard Times (1975) - brilliantly used by Walter Hill - if only they'd teamed again...

8) Death Wish (1974) - he became a caricature but this is a juicy role and he handles it well

9) Four For Texas (1962) - he gets bested too often but he's fun in a fun film

10) From Noon Til Three (1976) - a love letter to Jill Ireland, very sweet
