The Greatest Mustaches in Movie History
What do some of cinema’s most beloved characters have in common? A truly magnificent mustache, of course! These two movies prove that great facial hair never goes out of style.
Tombstone
Available to rent on Prime Video
Not one, not two, not three, but four legendary mustaches in a single movie? Now that's impressive! Kurt Russell stars as lawman Wyatt Earp in this action-packed Western, but it's Val Kilmer's scene-stealing performance as the quick-witted Doc Holliday that makes it a must-watch. And with Movember shining a spotlight on men's health, Kilmer's own battle with throat cancer makes this an especially fitting watch.
Borat
Streaming on Prime Video
Armed with a thick mustache and absolutely no understanding of American customs, a Kazakh journalist travels across the United States to make a documentary. Sacha Baron Cohen delivers a hilariously outrageous performance in this boundary-pushing mockumentary that exposes some uncomfortable truths about American society.
