"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"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.

Guess I must have stolen Dunkirk from your list since I mentioned it first, lol! That's at least three movies that are based or inspired by True Stories. Molly's Game (2017) or Wolf of Wall Street (2013) didn't make your list?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I watched the first 20 minutes of it and planned to watch the rest but that was like a year or two ago. It's currently on netflix-Canada.

Lol. I actually loved Molly’s game…but didn’t want to make an extensive list…Of course the original Star Wars too…
Dunkirk was beautifully shot but I liked the way the story was told more through Darkest Hour. I’m a history buff though & have always revered Churchill from this side of the pond…
Merry Christmas Gang & Cheers

This is getting off topic (not that I care), but I liked the way 1917 was told (different war, I know). The way it follows the protagonists through the trench warfare landscape, the realism, etc.

1917 deals with WW1, and one can argue, so does Fatima (2019) - the Portugal apparition of Mary during WW1 which provided hope to a population in despair because of the extent of the military losses and you had three children lifting the spirits of many small villages around with a story of hope. They really haven't made allot of nice movies re-creating the times and period of WW1 that captured my interest apart from those 2. There have been others, but they have been rather boring (Passchendaele 2008). It's like Hitler and Pearl Harbor makes WW2 have some sort of Hollywood status because of the crazy ideas, advanced time of warfare that was fully used, that is simply seems more sensationally portrayed compared to WW1.
Before 1917, what did we even get recently? WW1, is often portrayed as a backdrop in some romantic movies (ie Frantz (2016), etc... or Christopher Robin's inspiration of Winnie the Poo (Goodbye Christopher Robin 2017), so it was a badly needed movie to at least put WW1 in the cinematic map.

That was a good one too.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Molly's Game has made an impression with me because I'm not at the slightest level interested in poker. However, the choice of cast, the way Jessica Chastain brought Molly Bloom to life, made me re-watch this movie multiple times. Normally true-story movies are boring, and I might just only watch it once as a "checklist" (ie it was nominated or awarded for an Oscar/Golden Globe, or it made a watchmojo list or a prolific youtube movie reviewer highly recommended it, etc...) and never see it again since they are usually not fun at all to watch. But Molly's Game is amazing as a solid movie. Another nice movie I can think of based on a true story was Beautiful Mind (2001), that was re-watched on multiple occasions. They come far and few in between.

Anything else: Fight Club, Sin City, Young Frankenstein, Some Like it Hot, Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 and Stalker(Russian version). I just don't want to pick one.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
