AMC is unwatchable. Back when they aired movies uncut and uninterrupted (like TCM does now) it was a pretty great channel. Now there are five minutes of commercials every five minutes.

I like anything with Charles Bronson, I have a videotape of Mr Majystic with him, also liked Hard Times, I think was the name with him and James Coburn as bare nuckle fighters during the depression. Jeff

I agree, but Charles Bronson over rode my disgust with AMC.
Too bad you missed the first one, which IMO the best one.
I liked Bronson in the Dirty Dozen although he didn't have a big role.

"Man with a camera" I don't remember the sponsor.
WE HAVE A WINNER!
Actually, a partial winner, but a winner nonetheless! The sponsor was........and you're really hate yourself........KODAK!
Yeah, he as a freelance photographer, always taking pictures of things he probably wasn't supposed to. They had a knack for being able to cram a lot of action and drama into less than 30 minutes back in those days!
Way to go cavsix, you must be an old fart like me!

It's hard to believe but my wife loves those Death Wish movies. Sure beats HGTV all day Sunday.
In Death Wish II, he carried a Beretta Model 84. In the pre-glock years, the 84 was very popular. I'm sure this movie gave it a boost.
I have an original.

Chuck-sweep-the-dirtbags-off-the-street-Bronson sure did clean up the neighborhood.
Now there's some vigilante justice movies that are worthy of re-makes.

The programming geniuses at AMC might have deferred to common sense in running an alternate marathon based upon the recent front page court case verdict. But I don't think common sense is a plentiful commodity within the media at any level, so you can't use what you don't have.

AMC sold out to a "young investor group" about 14 years ago--which is why its drastically gone downhill. It was my all-time most favorite station until they started with commercials and introducing what they call: "New Classics" meaning-new movies) and it all started with their showing of: My Bodyguard.
AMCs only savings grace with me is Westerns on Sat morning TV--and John Wayne movies.

I agree with Hard Times. That is a true classic and certainly Bronson's best movie. I try to watch Hard Times and Death Hunt at least once a year. Of course he has James Coburn co-staring in one and Lee Marvin co-staring in the other. Both fine actors in their own right.
