Movember - Top 5 Movie Moustaches

Luke Owen celebrates Movember…As a macho male man, I bloody love and appreciate a good moustache. Here in the UK, we use the month of November to help raise awareness of prostate cancer by growing our moustaches in the spirit of charity. It’s all for a great cause.But then we shave them off. Boo!Instead of shaving off your well groomed and grown mo’, why not take a look at these dashing chaps and realise you need to keep that fuzz above your lip.Let’s look at this very tricky list to make – the TOP 5 MOVIE MOUSTACHES.http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL18yMRIfoszH_jfuJoo8HCG1-lGjvfH2F5. Andy Wainwright (Hot Fuzz)“You want to be a big cop in a small town? F**k off up the model village!”Speaking of fuzz, in at number five is Andy Cartwright from British comedy classic Hot Fuzz. Played by Paddy Considine, Detective Andy Cartwright is a man who sports a wonderful mo above his upper lip – which is thick enough to even get bitter froth stuck in it.We wish we could also add his partner Andy Wainwright, but poor old Rafe Spall just pales in comparison to the Mighty Mo of Andy Cartwright.Plus, how can you not love this?http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL18yMRIfoszH_jfuJoo8HCG1-lGjvfH2F4. White Goodman (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story)He’s better than you – and he knows it.Egomaniac White Goodman, owner of Globo Gym, is number four on our list of greatest moustaches as it proves that, even the most mean of men can sport a good lookin’ tash.He could lose the soul patch add-on, but that’s a different conversation.What’s great about White is that, even when he loses himself at the end of the movie (spoilers), he keeps his moustache.http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL18yMRIfoszH_jfuJoo8HCG1-lGjvfH2F3. Derek Smalls (This is Spinal Tap)The creator of Jazz Odyssey, Derek Albion Smalls is the number three moustache on our list.Based around the facial hair of Motorhead frontman Lemmy, Derek Smalls is the only long-lasting member of the legendary Spinal Tap to boast a tash – and that’s probably because the other members could never keep up with it!Even during embarrassing moments like being stopped at airport security for concealed cucumbers or being stuck in a pod during one their classic tunes, Small’s moustache stands tall and proud with its full hairy goodness.Hipsters can try to emulate, but it takes a real man to grow a moustache like this.http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL18yMRIfoszH_jfuJoo8HCG1-lGjvfH2F2. Lt. Hiram Coffey (The Abyss)When you want to command a unit, when you want to make sure you’re the big dog – the man in charge, you will need a powerful and impactful moustache. The sort of tash that Jesse Ventura would be proud of – and Michael Beihn has that in James Cameron’s often over-looked The Abyss.Just look at that raw power. It’s not flashy, it’s not stylised, it’s just a proper manly tash. Good work sir!Michael Beihn is a favourite actor here at Flickering Myth, and it’s sad to see that the man never fully realised how brilliant his mo is for future movies. What a waste of potential!Still, we’ll always have this beautiful tash…http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL18yMRIfoszH_jfuJoo8HCG1-lGjvfH2F1. The Stranger (The Big Lebowski)He’ll sit down have a chat with you, so long as you don’t use too many cuss words.Could it really be anyone other than The Stranger from The Big Lebowski? Tom Selleck of course, but we’ll get to him on the next page.Sam Elliot has always cultivated a brilliant tash, as seen in his couple of appearances in Parks and Recreation and the under-appreciated Thank You For Smoking, but his crowing Mo glory was in The Big Lebowski where he plays the mysterious, smooth talking Stranger and acting as narrator for the film.Beautiful, cultivated white whiskers – this is a Silver Fox who can be proud of his moustache.Honourable Mentions:Ron Burgundy (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgendy)Kip (Napoleon Dynamite)Billy the Butcher (Gangs of New York)Tom Selleck (Everything!)Do you think we missed a Mo?
