and beards.
I dunno why, but this guy always makes me feel insecure in my masculinity. (I can't grow a beard to save my life. Not an attractive one, anyways.)

I especially like melting Tim Curry (bottom right)
Right you are.
Fantastic underrated movie.
what's hilarious about the movie is it did, in fact, manage to capture the absolute absurdity of the books, even if that's probably the only thing accurate from the book.
"This sash is a gift from the Queen of America!" is such a great line, too.
Also for the record, this was the OG Reichlieu:
So I have to say, Curry definitely nailed it.
What movie is it?
Disney's live action of The 3 musketeers.
it's definitely a classic comedy... and if you're into reading classics, it's based on le trois mousquetaires, by Dumas. well. as based-on as anything dinsey does; but one thing they absolutely did capture was Dumas's ridiculousness (which itself, as putatitively historical fiction, may have captured the ridiculousness of certain classes of people- namely politicians like the Cardinal, royalty like the king, and the people who fought for them.)
In the books, though, D'Artagnian has to serve 2 years in another military outfit and- perhaps ironically- the king places him in the cardinal's guards just on the advent of war. (A war, which see's our 3 musketeers and D'artagnian having lunch in no-man's land as they lay siege to an english castle. Over a bet.)
Maybe you have, but my moustache looks similar the the first one.
Top left's eyes point in the same direction as his outer moustaches. He also has a middle moustache as backup in case he loses one.
I tried styling my moustache once. Turns out, smearing beard wax right under your nose is fucking gross ...
Just watched the first part of the modern Poirot movies with the Oriont Express and the main character had the most badass mustache, I could barely pay attention to the story when he was on the screen, it was mesmerising.
