I forgot about The Toa of Steve. That's a really old movie but a good one, I'll have to go to Block Busters and see if they still stock it.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Inspirational Movie Don Juan's

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Yeah, old schoolers like Peck, Hudson and Bogart all had things in check in their movies.

Bumping because I think this is interesting.
Cinderella Man
I really like Russell Crowe's character in Cinderella Man, Jim Braddock, a boxer in the Depression years.
In one scene he displays a gentle but firm and masculine way of teaching his son right from wrong.
He has heart, determination, confidence, faith, and a bulldog toughness to survive in the ring and the horrible living conditions at that time.
Alot of female characters are annoying in movies but I enjoyed Renee Zellweger's character as the wife of Jim. She doesn't like him boxing but remains supportive of her husband, always by his side.
It certainly isn't a movie about getting chicks, but is definitely one of the few movies in the past few years where the man is strong and masculine.
Go rent it if you haven't seen it yet.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Only older UK members will be aware, but Avon from Blake's 7. Imagine a cross between Han Solo and Boba Fett, he was cool, calculating, sardonic and tough.
If the BBC are reading, I would be perfect for the part in a remake.
Other than that, Clint Eastwood, Elvis, or any number of Marvel comics superheroes.

"Scent of a woman"
with Al Pacino. In one scene the blind colonel sarges a woman half his age, teaches her to dance the tango and AMOGS her boyfriend. Classic Don Juan moment.

I just saw part of an old movie from 1950, "Summer Stock" with Judy Garland. She falls for a don juan character even though she is engaged to an afc. After she and the afc have a fight, Judy Garland's sister lectures the afc character:
"You know, your problem is that you're just too nice. Lots of girls had crushes on you in school, but you never knew what to do about it. Women don't want apologies; they want to be swept off their feet. Women don't want to be asked; they want to be told."

I have to go with Swingers and 40-year old virgin, by a mile.
Unlike the rest of the movies you guys are mentioning, the two have a lot of realism to them. Swingers is almost 100% real life and 40-year old virgin was almost all ad-libbed. "Pu$$y on a pedastool", lol. Almost every great line in there is from real life & experience.
The other movies, ehh, all fantasy, but those two you can actually relate to and learn from.
I remember watching Swingers once with my GF at the time. We're at the part about "Why won't she call?" where Mikey keeps wanting his ex to call but she won't until he actually forgets about her. My GF says out loud "So true".
Funny thing is that she breaks up with me few months later, real out of nowhere, hit me hard. I was Mikey for like at least a month. When I finally totally forget about her, over a year later, she contacts me. Now she chases me, but my interest is long gone. Just like in the movie.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I have none.
Movies are fake and scripted. I cant get inspired by some fictional character who seems smooth and appealing to me, but knowing his behavior likely wont work in the real world.

Rusty from Ocean's Eleven. He has good body language and voice, always keeps his cool. Observe his eye contact and body language when he first interacts with his love interest (Zeta Jones). His eye contact was strong and he was always leaning back. He handles himself well in all situations. Watch when he screws up and the whole gang is pissed.
Definately Swingers. Trent Walker's approach to women is so great and is truly dj. He has no fears and he know's he is the money. He always gets the number and is always in control. Mikey also becomes a bit of a nice guy dj with the help from Trent.

Batman Begins. Bruce Wayne's character, which is a Don Juan, is portrayed very well by Christian Bale.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Every movie and major TV show has some kind of DJ character it... I mean, it's so easy when it's scripted... best example I had growing up was Will Smith in Fresh Prince of Bel Air, or the old Saved by the Bell with Zach Morris & AC Slater
Now, I go after the movies which are about business and selling... the attitude needed to be succeed in that Wall Street kind of environment permeates thru to any dealings with women... in the movies they're 'opening' and 'closing' customers by selling themselves and a dream, and that sh!t works exactly the same with women... they teach a mindset rather than a few lines
My favorite flicks...
Boiler Room (2000)
Wall Street (1988)
Glengarry Glenross (1992)

i think that richard dude from the 1980 version of "Blue Lagoon". he was like running around that island in a loin cloth and killing stuff. he f***** killed his own food! then he falls in love with b. shields before she started to look like a linebacker and they have a kid. i think a real dj must be all alone on an island with one beautiful girl and a spear...oh yeah...and a loin cloth. c'mon, he killed his own food and cooked it over a fire. now that is a dj! i had to watch that movie in the 8th grade. i tell you, i still sport a loin cloth under my jeans to this very day. before i hop in the tub i dump a single goldfish in the water and catch it with my bare hands. i am man...yes, i am man.
anyone see this flick? dj or no dj? i think he was the original dj.

btw, napoleon's character is more of a man than most of you will ever be. he is who he is. that takes much bigger b**** than most of you will ever have. in the real world there will always be girls who get turned on by guys who are real. even if they appear strange and weird to 98% of the populace. terrible movie though. i saw it dubbed in russian. that didn't help much since the movie loses all of its middle american feel when characters are going, "harasho" every ten seconds. my girlfriend at the time lost interest once she saw how america was being portrayed as a backwater land. it didn't jive with my description of a land where all the high schools are filled with the rich and glamorous. i told her that it was actually filmed in canada. a much uglier country with simple folk that are always trying to sneak into the land of bentleys and 500 square meter homes on the beach. she believed it. god how i love provincial girls. so now there is some girl wondering around kharkiv, ukraine who thinks that napolean is your typical canadian boy. you can thank me for that one.
one thing i did like about it was the fact that all the girls in it were ugly. much like your typical american high school.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
