Watch them. Like, right now. Even if you've seen them before.

DW1—a 1974 masterpiece that mixes actual thought with Charles Bronson as Paul Kersey, a six shooter, and every minority in the city of New York. Kersey's antics are actually portrayed in a middling to negative light here, but that reticence will be thoroughly shed by the time of

DW2—more of the same, but it's 1978 now (1982 in real life) and there's no book to weigh him down.

DW3—Kersey moves back to a New York that looks suspiciously like London and... well, he goes full Charles Bronson, up to and including
getting into a fight with a motherfucking car. Spoilers, Paul Kersey wins.
By this point, while the series has eschewed its introspective past, it's gained a new laurel to rest on: Paul Kersey being a human WMD.

DW4—Pretty much like DW3, but this time he goes on to do what Agent 47 would take another 20 years to do.
Also, has the best one liner in any action movie ever.

DW5—now 73, Paul Kersey is at his most creative with precisely how he destroys every criminal who dares come 20 miles within his radus.

Honorary mention to DW6, which has no actual connection to 1-5 since Charles Bronson is dead. Bruce Willis is in it. It doesn't have exactly the same tone or themes as the last five but it's still pretty decent and keeps the general idea of what a Death Wish movie should be.

Death Wish! Two women will be raped and killed in every film!
