Ive brought up books to read, now lets talk movies to watch.

ston3cold · 2016-01-03T20:08:36+00:00

American Beauty. A blue-to-red transformation story like no other.

1999 was quite the RP year. AB, Fight Club, The Matrix...

Debauchery_Tea_Party · 2016-01-04T09:07:22+00:00

Gran Torino would be high up there for me.

Clint Eastwood's character, an old Korean war veteran, lives in a neighborhood with a large influx of Hmong. He starts getting closer to the family next door and begins to teach their son about being a man, doing your own work, sticking up for yourself etc. It really hits home about the importance of male role models and strong father-figures for young men, building your set of skills and possessions and sense of self, treating women like they're no special rare unicorn and having some balls etc. Whilst it touches on a bunch of good themes and social commentary, it's still enjoyable to watch without becoming too heavy.

FieldLine · 2016-01-04T02:26:25+00:00

I can't believe no one has said House of Cards yet. Get on that. Keven Spacey plays one of the most Dark Triad characters you'll ever see on TV.

EscortSportage · 2016-01-03T14:06:02+00:00

Alright I guess the ones off the top of my head that only display basic redpill tenants would be:

Roger dodger

Crazy Stupid Love

The pursuit of happiness

Limitless changed my life. But I'd recommend watching Rodger Dodger before even looking at the sidebar.

OneRedYear · 2016-01-03T16:00:36+00:00

They say people take on attributes of their favorite fictional characters subconsciously, albeit temporarily.

You have to program yourself in this media age. I personally watch documentaries about film, media and propaganda (advertising). I watch shows with strong male characters and I'm aware of the agenda's being pushed in the shows I watch. If the agenda's are too much...I stop watching that show.

Valentinus9171 · 2016-01-04T10:50:20+00:00

Glengarry Glen Ross, especially noteworthy is the speech that Alec Baldwin's character gives in the movie. I also recommend Boiler Room.

2016-01-03T18:39:26+00:00

I recently watched Mud. It's about a fugitive trying to escape with his girlfriend, but the deeper story is about a 14 year-old boy entering manhood. It shines the light on the truths we didn't ever want to believe, but did after swallowing. Unfortunately, theres nothing on direction. Nevertheless, you learn more from failures.

2016-01-03T17:15:41+00:00

Spoiler:

I love how when he first becomes alpha he bangs his landlords wife lol. Absolute favorite part.

Meat-on-the-table · 2016-01-03T14:10:42+00:00

Almost anything with Clint Eastwood.

Glengarry Glen Ross

Roger Dodger

Most James Bond

2016-01-04T08:29:40+00:00

The last american virgin... It will help you swallow the pill for sure. Show it to your bros

evilquesadilla · 2016-01-05T10:24:44+00:00

I like Ex Machina.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER!!!

The only way to prove that the AI is advanced enough to be indistinguishable from a human is to emotionally manipulate a beta.

Then the beta gets what was coming to him.

I believe I even read an interpretation that this is some sort of feminist girl power movie. It symbolizes the woman breaking out of the bonds that her captor, the evil male patriarchy, had put around her.

But really it's about a woman using her sexuality to manipulate a weak man then toss him aside once he's no longer useful.

So if the writer/director/whatever really started out with the goal of making a girl power movie, they've only managed to tell the story way too well... beta guys will be used as weapons then tossed aside for their efforts.

LordGinge · 2016-01-03T19:22:01+00:00

Nightcrawler.

The way he has his goals and goes out to smash them.

The way he articulates himself and speaks to others. If they're in his way and purposefully trying to stop him growing, he wastes little time and effort with them.

The way he handles himself with women (well, woman. The anchor). He wants sex with her, and he knows his value is high. So he lays it all out on a table for her.

And not forgetting, his lush locks. He gradually grooms himself throughout the movie.

netgrey · 2016-01-03T15:54:22+00:00

Smokey and the bandit. The bandits lines are perfectly red pill through the whole movie. It's not surprising that burt reynolds hooked up with Sally fields in real life after that performance.

EscortSportage · 2016-01-03T20:05:06+00:00

No mention of Gengarry Glen Ross?

shiggityshoo · 2016-01-03T22:13:28+00:00

I can't say how much bearing it'll have, but I recently watched Joe (2013) and found it to be a solid movie. Joe outlines the darker side of some of the TRP philosophies, but it's interesting to see it in action. Ultimately, he's left with the choice of redemption or ruin when he meets the boy, but even then his behaviour is manly through and through.

It's a decent watch, just take any RP connections with a grain of salt. I'm no master of either RP or movie reviews.

EscortSportage · 2016-01-04T02:56:32+00:00

MajorMid · 2016-01-04T07:50:49+00:00

Someone a while ago in one of these threads suggested The Last American Virgin. Definitely one of the most RP movies ever.

Betterthanuatlife · 2016-03-08T09:16:04+00:00

Nightcrawler was fucking amazing. He's willing to do anything and step on everyone to succeed, from petty thief to the manager of a freelance journalism company.

DownvotesCatposts · 2016-01-03T21:26:01+00:00

Fury. Aside from being one of the best war movies ever made, Brad Pitt's character is the very definition of "man".

OnlyMyOpinionMatters · 2016-01-03T14:41:39+00:00

Annie Hall has a realistic ending compared to most romcoms.

Bergetson · 2016-01-03T15:11:56+00:00

I mean technically we have a "pill" that helps us reinvent our lives and start chasing our dreams. Haven't seen the movie in awhile but he is basically taking the red pill and choosing to change because his reality sucks.

2016-01-03T19:32:14+00:00

You are so right,

The one issue is he returns to his old girlfriend, but since she supported him in the past and saved his life it isn't too blue.

lizard-overlord · 2016-01-03T21:46:47+00:00

The Stanford prison experiment
The whole movie is basically a bunch of young men trying to break each others frame...
But especially the scene when the Dr in charge of the experiment is confrinted by the parents of one of the kids. It's a rather short scene but it's the perfect demonstration of how an alpha comes out on top of a potentially difficult conversation.

IGoYouStayTwoAutumns · 2016-01-03T22:22:34+00:00

LEGENDS OF THE FALL, one of Brad Pitt's earlier movies. Just watched again recently for the first time in years, was shocked at how textbook Red Pill it was. Can't say anymore without getting into major spoilers but for those who haven't seen it (lot of our younger readers may have missed this one) you absolutely have to check it out--if there was a sidebar for Red Pill movies this would be at the top of the list.

FarfromaHero40 · 2016-01-04T02:38:05+00:00

The Thomas Crowne Affair. And of course I mean the Steve McQueen version.

circlhat · 2016-01-04T03:02:48+00:00

Amazing movie, If you ever take advice on what movie to see, see this one, its not preachy at all and very exciting to watch

nicechallenge · 2016-01-04T03:18:20+00:00

One of my favorite movies, thanks OP.

riding_stoned · 2016-01-04T04:33:18+00:00

Nobody mentioned Swept Away? There was entire thread about it a while back. If you can bear the first fifteen to twenty minutes, it blows all the rest of these movies far out of the water.

Highly recommend it. Go search out the thread too.

EscortSportage · 2016-01-04T05:46:20+00:00

I cannot believe i didnt mention this earlier. Not a movie but a must watch,

Californication with David Duchovny

My favorite show so far hands down, Also check out Nip Tuck Christian Troy is the character to keep an eye on.

redpilltshirts · 2016-01-04T06:42:02+00:00

Art of travel. It is an amazing movie. Here is a small clip to get you guys interested- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOibEyJFr14

Sir_Distic · 2016-01-04T15:56:00+00:00

If we're going to include TV shows like some of the people here have then I'll add my personal favorite RP one.

Boston Legal.

James Spaders character Allan Shore is not physically what you'd call RP. He looks sheepish and sometimes comes off as effeminate. But it's full of him being alpha when it comes to women. He holds frame in tons of instances where he is shit tested. From clients to other lawyers to even judges. The man holds frame, acts machiavellian and gives zero fucks. I highly recommend it for RP men.

a-marc · 2016-01-04T16:41:41+00:00

Try this with english subtitles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HazqUfJbbpY Maya is alpha as fuck There are some bp characters though

afbbafbbafbb · 2016-01-05T10:23:52+00:00

The new Jurassic Park is pretty RP

Also, the anime series Death Note = Dark Triad. It's worth watching because it's really good in general, but I think its also good for understanding subtext. Like when somebody says something and they mean something else.

EscortSportage · 2016-01-05T19:50:20+00:00

"I hope they serve beer in hell" has some great lines. Not as RP as the book though.

askmrcia · 2016-01-05T20:56:04+00:00

OP for the love of God please watch the film "Pornopung (2013)"

Its all about the red pill. The movie almost made me cry. Its a foreign film about a beta guy who can't girls and his roommate sleeps with a whole bunch of girls to show him the way. The movie brings up topics on feminism as well. Its a must watch

EscortSportage · 2016-01-07T08:04:04+00:00

Watching Glengarry Glen Ross, right now, I love the dialogue and back and forth with the camera views with Ed Harris and the other guy. Good catch fellas

Another amazing movie!

EscortSportage · 2016-01-07T10:12:19+00:00

Another movie i really enjoy, not exactly soaking with RP things however there are concepts and conversations that are in the right direction.

Donnie Brasco

EscortSportage · 2016-01-13T20:34:26+00:00

Watching the last american virgin now, this movie is surprisingly funny so far, i mean scissors to bra....

2016-01-20T04:08:00+00:00

I just got through Limitless, excellent movie and I appreciate the recommendations.

I would add "Stripes" as an aside to this list. Bill Murray joins the military, picks up a girl, his attitude is an excellent example of good game. I dont think it is quite on the same level as the listed movies but apart from Groundhog Day(, Murray's style with women is an example of RP behavior.

Tscio · 2016-01-31T03:08:44+00:00

Enjoyed some of the recommendations, so I'd like to add one of my own - Wild Things (1998).

Too many RP themes and topics to list. Surprised no one else mentioned it.
