Arthur: What was that?
Susan: French kiss.
Arthur: Really? Because the French always surrender, that was decidedly German.
Oh Arthur, such a character. Spending days spending his millions and acting like a 5 year-old boy with a libido of a 34 year-old. Who wouldn’t want to have a life like that?
Arthur: Say “wash your winky”
Hobson: [Vader-like voice transform] Wash your winky.
Bitterman: Could you do Chewy?
One of my favorite parts of the 2011 remake of the Arthur movie is when Arthur (played by Russell Brand) is wearing a true-to-Tim Burton Batman costume, driving the Batmobile that Val Kilmer drove and where his butler (played by Luis Guzman) is wearing the Robin costume from the TV show.
I mean, where else can you get three generations of Batman memorabilia together mixed in with Russel Brand, the New York Stock Exchange bull and a car accident?

For those with the sartorial eye for detail, you probably noticed the suits he wore in the movie were decidedly bespoke and well made. He also made Abe Lincoln’s top hat look pretty good with the aforementioned suitage.

It’s not just his clothes that make Arthur an ESM Icon. He also has a great car collection (one of them being the DeLorean from Back to the Future), hooks up with the most beautiful women and he parties like it’s 1981.
