A Brief History of Great (and Sad) Mustaches in Film and TV
We can't all be Burt Reynolds. Or The Lorax. Or Borat.
Burt Reynolds, 'Smokey and the Bandit'
Most guys who grow a mustache hope that they look like this...
Tom Selleck, 'Magnum P.I.'
…or this…
Aaron Ruell, 'Napoleon Dynamite'
…but this is their reality.
Wilford Brimley, 'Cocoon'
Wilford Brimley is Movember incarnate.
Billy Dee Williams, 'Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back'
How many guys do you know who could pull off a cape and a mustache?
Snidely Whiplash, 'Wacky Races'
If you don’t twirl your mustache while you’re scheming, you’re not doing it right.
Carl Weathers, 'Action Jackson'
According to Hollywood, every cop in the ‘70s and ‘80s had a mustache.
Dennis Franz, 'N.Y.P.D. Blue'
Dennis Franz (almost single-handedly) kept that stereotype alive in the ‘90s.
Josh Brolin, 'No Country For Old Men'
Bronze medal for Best Mustache in a Coen Brothers Movie.
Nicolas Cage, 'Raising Arizona'
Silver medal for Best Mustache in a Coen Brothers Movie.
Sam Elliott, 'The Big Lebowski'
Gold medal for Best Mustache in a Coen Brothers Movie.
Errol Flynn, 'The Adventures of Robin Hood'
The pencil 'stache is not a look just anyone can get away with, but the few who could include Errol, Prince, John Waters, and Sammy Davis, Jr.
Matt Dillon, 'There's Something About Mary'
Here’s a guy who can’t.
Samuel L. Jackson, 'Pulp Fiction'
Jules with that mustache, in that suit, yelling bible verses at you? That is intimidation.
Marlon Brando, 'The Godfather'
And so is Don Vito Corleone with that mustache, in that tux, just sitting.
Hulk Hogan, 'WWF Championship Wrestling '
The perfect 'stache for snapping into a Slim Jim.
Charlie Chaplin, 'The Kid'
Do not recreate this. People won't think of Chaplin first.
Donald Sutherland, 'The Great Train Robbery'
Steampunk before steampunk was a thing.
Cheech Marin, 'Up in Smoke'
How many mustache hairs were singed during the making of this movie?
Bob Hoskins, 'Super Mario Bros.'
Epically disappointing movie, but Mario was making this list somehow.
