I've composed a short list of movies for aspiring pick up artists to study. Each of them contain a few "tricks of the trade". The ones that I highly reccomend are "The Tao of Steve" and "Swingers" these are 2 of the best.


Title: The Pick-Up Artist
Star(s): Robert Downey • Molly Ringwald
Featured: Dennis Hopper • Danny Aiello • Harvey Keitel • Bob Gunton • Mildred Dunnock • Polly Draper • Robert Towne • Victoria Jackson • Lorraine Bracco • Victor Argo

Synopsis: Lady's man Jack Jericho goes through life without a care in the world, seducing one woman after another. Then he meets indifferent museum guide Randy Jensen, who consents to a one-night stand but won't give him her phone number. Intrigued, Jack continues to pursue Randy, in the process helping free her alcoholic father from the huge gambling debt he owes the mob.

Title: How To Be a Player
Star(s): Bill Bellamy • Natalie Desselle
Featured: Lark Voorhies • Mari Morrow • Pierre Edwards • Jermaine "Huggy" Hopkins • A.J. Johnson • Max Julien • Beverly Johnson • Gilbert Gottfried • Bernie Mac • Stacii Jae Johnson • Elise Neal • J. Anthony Brown • Amber Smith • Devika Parikh • Bebe Drake • Gillian Iliana Waters

Synopsis: Silky smooth MTV veejay Bellamy turns up the charm as a "player" whose casual dalliances with multiple women come up to bite him when his sister and her friend invites his entire unsuspecting menagerie to a Malibu party.
*********************************************

Title: Swingers
Star(s): Vince Vaughn • Jon Favreau
Featured: Heather Graham • Ron Livingston • Brooke Langton • Deena Martin

Synopsis: "Swingers" follows insecure Mike and smooth-talking Trent, two retro-hip, show-biz wannabes, as they make the scene at various clubs in Hollywood and Vegas. During their martini-fueled odyssey, the duo and their buddies explore an altogether new vernacular while struggling with images of machismo, self-esteem, relationships, and, of course, sex. Lead actor Mike Favreau based the script on his and his friends' real-life Tinseltown adventures.
*********************************************

Title: The Tao of Steve
Star(s): Donal Logue • Greer Goodman
Featured: Kimo Willis • Nina Jaroslaw • Ayelet Kaznelson • David Aaron Baker
Synopsis: Dex (Donal Logue), an overweight slacker living in Santa Fe, excels at charming women. The reason behind his success is apparently "The Tao of Steve," a pseudo-philosophy, largely about dating women, developed by Dex and his drinking buddies. While this lazy lifestyle with no commitment seems to work, Dex gradually begins to realize there’s something more meaningful missing from his life. When he meets Syd (Greer Goodman), a beautiful set designer, Dex discovers the Tao of Steve isn’t a foolproof way of thinking, and must get in touch with his real emotions to get the girl of his dreams.
*********************************************

Title: Playing By Heart
Star(s): Gillian Anderson • Thomas Connery • Angelina Jolie • Jon Stewart
Featured: Edna Rae Gillooly • Anthony Edwards • Jay Mohr • Ryan Phillippe • Dennis Quaid • Gena Rowlands • Madeleine Stowe

Synopsis: A sprawling cast come together to tell this tale of romance and love in the 90's. The ensemble players discuss love and relationships throughout the film, and by the end of the picture, everyone has learned a valuable lesson: never give up on love. A touching romantic drama with several entertaining twists.
*********************************************

Title: What Women Want
Star(s): Mel Gibson • Helen Hunt • Marisa Tomei
Featured: Alan Alda • Delta Burke • Ana Gasteyer • Lauren Holly • Mark Feuerstein • Ashley Johnson • Valerie Perrine • Judy Greer • Sarah Paulson • Lisa Edelstein • Loretta Devine • Diana-Maria Riva • Eric Balfour

Synopsis: A Chicago advertising exec, Nick Marshall, gets a whole new outlook on life when a fluke accident gives him the ability to read women's minds. At first, this gift provides Nick with way too much information, but he begins to realize that he can use it to good effect, especially when it comes to outwitting his new boss, Darcy Maguire. In spite of his best efforts to finesse Darcy, he soon finds himself falling in love and ultimately understanding what women want.


Also deserving honorable mention is any James Bond movie.

ehh the best movie for pickin up is..

nothing, get out there, get rejected a million times, go home, get drunk by yourself, cry and mastebate, sleep, wake up, get out there, get rejected, and so on. eventually u start gettin farther and farther along without being rejected, learn from mistakes, get numbers, and so on.

if you need a movie to tell you why u should get out there and pick up girls go to ure video rental place, go in the over 18 section, rent any of the movies, and see all the fun those guys are having

then think to ureself i could be doing that

situations never work out like they do in movies, so they can help with maybe an opening line but u gotta rely on ure slickness and charisma for the rest

i wasnt trying to put down your post, but i think theres way to many people here who think that just by reading the internet and watching movies they'll turn into don juans. The most important thing is field experience, and the dj bible- thats really all you need, everybody is unique and should build methods to fit their own personalities

Stick your head in the sand and wait for your fvckin' prom.....

You guys overlooked this one..

The Breakfast Club - 85'

John Bender, Judd Nelson - Was genius in this movie.. Not only did he not give a sh|t about anyone... (guidance counselor included!) he was FEARLESS throughout the entire movie! Opening scene he almost gets hit by a car in the parking lot. (probably from smoking his breakfast in his drug induced stupor, nonchalantly arrives.) Immediately establishes himself as the alpha male in the library, and doesn't take sh|t off of anyone the entire movie. Does, says, goes, where and when he wants! Oblivious to no one.. This guy was the pioneer of ****y & funny. "What did you do to get in here sport-o? Forget to wash your jock?? "Claire? That's a fat girl's name..." Who gets the girl at the end of the movie?? The Jock? No. The Nerd? NO. THE JERK!!! Last shot of the movie shows John walking across the football field pumping his fist in the air. (he came.. he conquered.. he did it his way..).

I could go on and on with my rant, but you get the idea.
:D
