Don't know what kinda TV you get over there in Switzerland mate - but I am sure you will remember how UK TV will devote a whole season to his films.

I wanna see "The Great Escape" again. :)

Hi Urb - Got to admit I don't watch much TV really, and If I do, it is either BBC Prime which is great for comedy right now, they are showing Black Adder and The Young Ones right now, plus a fair bit of the Fast Show....

For news it's either CNN or one of the German channels... I get TV stations from around 7 different countries here, and to be honest, it's mostly crap.. not because it's foreign...lol they just pump out all the same crap you can find on TV all over the world.... big brother, pop idol, et al... So if I'm watching the box, 9 times out of 10 it is a DVD from my collection...

Great Escape is top movie, and no doubt the one of the German Channels will be showing a few Bronson movies over the weeks.... Talking of war movies, have you seen Black Hawk Down yet? 3 hours of non stop action... and the best DVD I bought this year so far... :)

Likewise TBS over here..

Great Escape was awesome but my favorite Bronson line was from Death Wish II:

CB: Do you believe in Jesus Christ?

Thug: Y-Y-Yes

CB: Good! You're about to meet him!!

RIP Mr. Bronson,

Although so many of his roles were similar he brought a charisma to the silverscreen that was mesmerising!
