Crime movies? Charles Bronson was the highest grossing action star in the world for over 10 years. How quickly people forget.

Ok, I mean actors, who played most of his characters in the action genre. Take the names from my list and create yours. ... I am sorry charles, I havent seen a film with Charles Bronson yet. I was born in the early 90's and so I had different action heroes. Could you recommand me a movie by Mr. Bronson?

No apology necessary! Yes, Death Wish is a masterpiece, and I recently heard that Stallone is preparing to remake it. I would recommend The Stone Killer, Mr. Majestyk (by the great Elmore Leonard), The Mechanic (watch out for that ending!), Telephon, Kinjite, 10 to Midnight, Chato's Land, Hard Times (showcases his boxing skills), Red Sun (costarring Toshiro Mifune) and Death Wish 5.
