Every year, there are great films, overlooked films, and smash hits. However, if you look at the films of 1988, it feels like a completely different industry than the one we have in 2021.

Now listen, we all loveCharles Bronson.I think that much is certain.Bronson built his careeron being one of the most badass faces in 20th century action cinema. Running down the list, Bronson had theDeath Wishfranchise,The Dirty Dozen,The Great Escape, and much more to his name. The man can kick butt undeniably, but he also has a slew of other underappreciated skills under his belt. Bronson could dress like a total stud, rattle off comedic one-liners like nobody’s business, and was evenconsidered a ladies' man by many(somehow, even into his much older years)....
