20 Undeniably Awesome Mustaches in Movies
I wouldn’t go as far as to say that mustaches are making a comeback. I don’t think we’ll ever have the amazing ‘staches that we did back in the 70s and 80s. However, I will say that it seems mustaches have been popping up back and forth in Hollywood over the last 5 years or so.
There’s something very special about a well defined mustache in a movie don’t you agree? In a way a mustache is like a prop. It tells you things about the character and makes you believe more about him than only his dialogue will allow.
It’s also quite badass when someone can grow a ‘stache like some of these guys can. Whether it’s real or fake, here are 20 undeniably awesome mustaches in movies.
1. John Neville in Adventures of Baron Munchausen
2. Daniel Day Lewis in There will Be Blood
3. Sam Elliot in any movie (Big Lebowski featured here)
4. Sasha Baron Cohen in Borat
5. Colin Farrell in Miami Vice
6. Clark Gable in Gone with the Wind
7. Tom Selleck in Anything
8. Bruce McGill in Animal House
9. George Clooney in O Brother Where Art Thou?
10. Jeffrey Jones in Ferris Buelle’s Day Off
11. Michael Biehn in The Abyss
12. John Vukovich in Major League
13. Wilford Brimley – Any Movie
14. Charlie Chaplin – The Original
15. Brad Pitt in Inglorious Bastards
16. Cheech Marin from Cheech and Chong
17. Carl Weathers in Rocky
18. Val Kilmer in Tombstone
19. Andy Samberg in Hot Rod
20. Sean Connery in Zardoz

John Vukovich was actually Peter Vuckovich. John was part of the 1980s Phillies World Series team and 3rd base coach.
Great list but I would have picked Gangs of New York for the Daniel Day Lewis entry.
you forgot johnny depp
I love how Daniel Day-Lewis is up on the board more than once.
Man ‘There Will Be Blood” was amazing. Just watching the main character’s mental state deteriorate was so funny.
“I don’t know how long I can keep living like this with these…PEOPLE…mwuahahahaha!!”
Props for the Wilford Brimley mention. I would nominate Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay / Bewitched) and Peter Ustinov (Poirot series) as honorable mentions for their great staches. Note, not the Suchet Poirot; his handlebars look like plastic fakes.
In Hot Rod Andy Sambergs mustache was fake…so does that really count?
You’re forgetting one of the best mustaches in movie history, Roger Livesey in “The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp”
Ron Burgandy!
Inglorious Basterds**
I’d say Hugh Jackman should be on the list for his wolverine ‘stache
You cant forget the sweet handlebar donned by Dustin Hoffman in Hook. http://lordvalek.com/pics/hook1.jpg
The 70s are over. Only assholes have mustaches now.
You cannot leave out the cast of Anchorman, especially as mentioned above Mr. Ron Burgandy.
wow i clicked this expecting a 20 page slideshow…the internet is starting to get smarter?
The creepyfactor of that mustache could be considered aweinspiring, or awesome, if you will.
No Burt Reynolds? Really?
forgot ving rhames too
What no Omar Sharif?! He’s the sexiest in the movie Dr. Zhivago. I’d date him in an instant. <3
@ Rob: you’re a fucking retard to believe that. Clean shaven is so over rated! Ewww! I’m one of the few women who prefers her man to have a mustache!
Facial hair is a symbol of masculnity. Guys with mustaches are assholes? My dad had a mustache so you’re calling him an asshole what about that adorable pilot Sulley? You’re calling that man a HERO an asshole too? My God, listen to yourself! You sound dumb, shut up. They’re more manly than you’ll ever be. You’re so ridiculous for even posting that bias comment up. 😡 Theyre not the assholes, YOU are.
How can this list not contain Billy Dee Williams…?
Wow! I am speechless about that Sean Connery in Zardos image… The ‘stache is hardly noticeable with that braided hair, those crazy boots, and those suspender things doing that to his private sack. ;p
where’s The Burt or Charles Bronson as Paul Kearsy in Death Wish
You lead with Daniel Day-Lewis in “…Blood”? Obviously, you’ve never seen him as BILL THE BUTCHER in GANGS OF NEW YORK. Clearly and hands down, a better stache’ and should be number one on your list. I rest my case:
