Mr. Charles Bronson was born on this day 90 years ago. They say he popped out, shot his doctor and crawled nine miles to a watermelon field. To honor the legendary tough guy, DG asks that you share with us your favorite moment in a Bronson flick.

They are so many movies to choose from it’s not fair to Bronson fans so I’ll give you my top 3 moments… 3. The first he uses his buddy Wildey on The Giggler in “Death Wish 3″… 2. In “Death Wish 2” when he kills the guy in the abandon building that’s wearing a crucifix is one of my favorites because of what he says to him before he kills him Bronson- Do you believe in Jesus? Crucifix guy- Yes, I do. Bronson- We’ll, you’re going to meet him… And my number 1 of all time Bronson movie moments is… 1. Would be his roll in “Once Upon A Time In The West” right from the beginning you love his characters toughness when he’s confronted by 3 men waiting for him. Bronson- And Frank? Franks muscle- Frank sent us. Bronson- You bring a horse for me? Franks Muscle- We’ll looks we’re, looks like we’re shy one horse (Bronson shakes his head) Bronson- You brought 2 too many… Charles Bronson by far had the greatest lines in movies before he killed his enemies. He was a mans man.
Yes, that quick but explosive gun fight in ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST and Bronson’s bad ass line preceding it is hard to top. Nice call!
“Inside the men, there were three bullets.”
Shit. Already beaten. Yeah, the opening appearance of Harmonica in ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST is impossible to beat. They may have wanted Eastwood for that role, but he totally made it his own.
