Greg's Guide to Being a Player

The Player Knows Movies

Movies are a valuable reference to all new players, because they are not only entertaining... but can be very educational if you know which to watch. Just about everyone sits down and watches a movie every once in a while, so while your at it why not learn a few things that will help you pick up more women? It's a no-brainer.

Watching the right movies can actually be one of the best ways to learn how to deal with women because you can see and hear the way that the actors portraying these master seducers engage with the women that they are picking up. In many cases, this visual way of learning is the best for some people... and seeing it in action may actually help you learn how to properly use the stuff that your learning here.

Below I've put together a list of my favorite movies that are related to dealing with women, all of which can teach you a ton of useful tips. I've included links to purchase them online at discounted prices... so if you can't find them at your local video store you can always buy them here for less. Enjoy!


How To Be A Player
The funny story of a womanizer and how his own sister plots to end his cheating ways. A cool ride, a kickin' crib, a bomb job, and all the sexy women he can handle--what else can a guy ask for?

What Women Want
It must've made for a great pitch meeting: Male chauvinist advertising executive gains the ability to hear the thoughts of any woman around him. Add Mel Gibson--as Nick, the divorced "man's man" who can charm almost any woman into bed--and you've got high-concept comedy made in Hollywood heaven, right? Not necessarily. The smartest thing director Nancy Meyers did with What Women Want is dispose of this ludicrous plot contrivance before it wears out its welcome.

Don Juan DeMarco
It's a quirky romantic comedy about a mental patient (Johnny Depp) who claims to be Don Juan, the world's greatest lover, and he gets quite a few women to believe it's true. Brando plays the psychiatrist who tries to analyze his patient's apparent delusion, and Dunaway plays Brando's wife, who wants to inject some Don Juan-ish romance into their marital routine. Walking a fine line between precious comedy, wistful drama, and delicate fantasy, the movie gets a big dose of charm from its esteemed cast, with Depp delivering dialogue that would have sounded ludicrous from a lesser actor.

Roger Dodger
Campbell Scott bristles, burns, and sneers as Roger, a would-be smoothie who gets jilted by his older lover (who also happens to be his boss at an advertising agency). When his teenage nephew Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) appears at his office the next day, hoping for lessons in how to deal with the ladies, Roger uses his nephew partly as a foil, partly as a prop as he vents his anger and unhappiness on women in a scathing tour of bars and parties.

Alfie
For Alfie (JUDE LAW), life was about enjoying everything woman could offer- one night at a time. From Wealthy widows with a taste for younger man (SUSAN SARANDON)ito his single-mom girlfriend (MARISA TOMEI), Alfie had it all... and wasn't looking for anything more. But when the consequences of his playboy lifestyle suddenly affect the women in his life and his best friend (OMAR EPPS), Alfie beginsito wonder if there isimoreito life that these fleeting romances. And if so, what's it all about?

Hitch
Hitch (Will Smith) is Alex Hitchens, a professional romance consultant or Date Doctor. If you're a lonely, single man in New York City, he's the guy you want to call. Hitch believes that, under the right circumstances, any man can win the heart of any woman. Arranging those circumstances and making sure they're exactly right is where he comes in. Say you're a clumsy, overweight business executive like Albert Brenneman (Kevin James) and you're hopelessly in love with the beautiful heiress you work for (Amber Valletta), Hitch will make your dreams come true. He'll teach you how to make a strong first impression and he'll coach you through the first date, the first dance and the first kiss.
