Hello community,

If you read articles here and there like me, occasionally you'll find videos from youtube that writers of GC include in their article. These youtube videos are usually snippets from a movie or a show.

Whicb brings up the question :

Are there any good movies / TV Shows that this community would recommend that is worth watching ?

Perhaps good pickup scenes, or consistency of attraction in a character? I thought it would be entertaining to watch, and maybe even see some good lines.

Here's a favorite of mine to share:
Temptation : Confessions of a marriage Councillor. Trailer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDfTwu2CgDY

Reason why: It's a synopsis of a person trying to seduce a girl who is already married. Now I'm not liking the movie because he's trying to be a homewrecker. I like this movie because of the way the seducer shows consistency of attractive traits. Obviously many of us ( hopefully) aren't using these PUA knowledge to break people's relationships

I tend to watch exclusively comedies, it is by far my favorite genre. As such, most the actors are not very sexy. But, one exception might be Barney Stinson of How I Met Your Mother. His actual pickup techniques would never work in real life. But his general vibe/energy/life of the party/devil-may-care attitude is very attractive. I feel like in the real world, if he dropped the unrealistic and weird pickup routines and just acted natural, he would be a very attractive man. Also, both Ted Mosby and Barney get shot down super often in that show. And they pretty much always just brush it off without breaking a sweat (sometimes, they literally don't acknowledge that it even happened!). I'm no Psychologist, so I can't say for sure, but this might actually help internalize the idea that rejection isn't a big deal. Note: IF you do choose to watch HIMYM, do NOT emulate the personalities of Ted or Jason Segal. Neither of them have very attractive characters.

Other than that, its not so much the movie/tv that matters. Its more about the actors. For example, any James bond film is good. Because all the actors who play James Bond are sexy. I also like Ironman. Because again, Robert Downey Jr. is generally considered a pretty attractive man. Also, Tony Stark as a character is super attractive as well. Although Tony Stark's "style" of seduction might be a little different than that which GC advocates.

Basically, I would go about picking movies/shows by the actor. If you know he is considered to be an attractive actor(for reasons beyond the preselection/social prooof/wealth that fame provides), feel free to pick any movie with him in it and watch it. He'll probably do a good job of at the very least, demonstrating the kind of facial expressions you should be using.

Totally agree with bboy.
Barney Stinson is probably the reason I'm writing this comment right now.

Watch Two and a half men. (till charlie sheen)
emulating charlie sheen and barney stinson's (nph) devil may care attitude has helped me a lot.
They also almost never put any woman on the pedestal. And NPH also tells a story about how his results sky-rocketed after adjusting/improving his fundamentals.

Eyes Wide Shut is great. Also a big influence on me.

a second film I mentioned before in the chats is Boogie Nights. That is also a very magical movie to me, though it’s very long and there are other themes present in it beyond sex. Seeing dirk digglers bizarre journey reminds me of my own in pickup lol

In my opinion, I dont know if these two films necessarily have a pua-ish main cast worth mimicking ... more like these films are just really good and really relevant to the subject matter of getting ass and really inspire you to go out and pull

Shampoo starring warren Beatty (his character is my namesake). The actor is one of the most notorious lotharios in Hollywood and has reportedly bedded tens of thousands of women.

Californication is of course, a must watch. His verbal style is too much for me to use irl, but his vibe and fundamentals are untouchable.

A streetcar named desire. Watch marlon Brando in this, this is where the modern archetype of the bad boy literally comes from.

Of all the bond films, I’d say Casino Royale is the best in terms of what to mimic. Sean is great and his vibe is incredible but some of his style is pretty dated. Daniel is not very good looking but his walk, facial expressions and voice exude sexual intensity.

Eyes wide shut. A movie that affected me deeply. Pay attention to the details and notice how people at the christmas party in the beginning of the movie is just the façade of what the social world seess, of whay really happens in the secret OTO rituals later on.
I watched this movie a few weeks thanks to your post... Damn it was outstandingly good... I had to research afterwards in order to grasp every detail but I truly enjoyed watching it. Thanks for such a great discovery!

Charlie Sheen is definitely a prime example of how to be unapologetic and expressing sexual intent in a savvy way.

I also think Chris Hemsworth has one of the strongest set of fundamentals I have ever seen.

James Bond is very good too.

If you have a chance watch Archer. It is an animated series but the guy doing the voice makes a perfect sophisticated dick.

Hey, "Meet Joe Black" is also another REALLY great movie.

Brad Pitt completely nails it there when it comes to using the pregnant pause as well as applying social pressure in interactions.

You’re not going to learn anything from Casanova or James Bond because those are scripted, in real life women have more organic reactions and not ones they rehearsed on screen.

the sh*t that Charlie sheen does on two and a half men, you would get slapped if you did that. There’s a reason you don’t know any guys like Charlie Harper in real life.

You’re probably better off making a bunch of money because in real life women are going after guys with money

Agreed with the James Bond.
It is scripted and reactions are not like that in real life but you can learn a lot about presence and voice tone from him.

Regarding Charlie Sheen, I do know guys like him and they do well.

The standard answer to this question is really about "who should I model myself after?" which is really "what's a character I think is cool"

The Normal List
- Don Draper - Mad Men
- Hank Moody - Californication
- Tyler Durden - Fight Club
- Michael Fassbender in Shame
- Jules/Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction
- Sean Connery as James Bond
- Pierce Brosnan as James Bond
- DeNiro in Heat
- Pacino in Scarface/Devil's Advocate
- Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother

Rookies want to be these larger than life characters, kicking ass and getting the girl at the end. They want cool lines, cool suits, cool cars...the whole power fantasy.

They want girls to react to them like paid actresses react to paid actors in a work of fiction.

Their question is really "How do I want others to view me"

But that's the wrong way to go about imo.

A good actor has mastered how to convey emotion/how to become a new person/how to make you believe that this essentially random person is this character. The verbal part isn't easy, but the nonverbal aspects....That's the real money.

The script, camera, scene, costume, etc - that's all gravy. How does the actor convince you that he's that person? Convince you that he's that person in the first 5 to 15 minutes?

Moreover, when things in the script cause changes in the character's world - does the character act in a way that's consistent with the character so far, but also shows different parts of their character? Not making eye contact, cracks in the voice, change of tone, facial expressions...that's how you make your words stronger and your message heard.

To that end, Don Draper is probably the only person in the normal list that literally shows the viewer how to convey different emotions and make them felt to people who don't know them. He switches between alpha male and scared little boy. From rooting for him, to hating him.

When it comes down to dealing with a girl one on one, do you know how to express yourself to make her feel what you feel, see what you see?

Rather than spend hours on end watching shows, trying to be some wordsmith, spend a couple hundred bucks to take 5-6 acting classes.

Failing that, watch the movies that people get nominated for in terms of best acting. Movies over film, because the actor has to convey character QUICKLY.

- Michael Fassbender in Shame
I loved Fassbender in 'Shame'. It inspires me to go out and try pick-up. Probably because it gives me the unrealistic expectation that you can just say nothing and women will bang you. I love that scene where Fassbender bumps into the black lady in the workplace after their date, and just drags her into an office where they start kissing. Rarely do you see something like that in movies these days.

I liked 'Shame' as a movie because it was different. Usually being different for different's sake doesn't make something good. But perhaps movies are an exception to this seeing as so many of them follow the exact same formula.
