Excellent Movies for Modeling
February 21, 2010
This is something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time, and in fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg. I used movie scenes a lot in my visualization exercises. Eventually, I’ll put up actual clips. But for now, I’ll post here the movie titles.
In my mind, I have them mostly organized by actor so that’s how my list will be mainly organized. So here they are in alphabetical order by surname.
I will probably add to this list as I think of more, so check back. Also I welcome your feedback 
-Javier Bardem in Vicky Cristina Barcelona
-James Bond (pretty much any of these movies; the scene by Craig on the train sitting across from the female agent is excellent)
-Vinny Chase in the Entourage HBO series. Also for shorter archetypes, his friend-manager, E, is a good role-model.
-George Clooney in the Ocean’s series
-Tom Cruise (Top Gun, Days of Thunder, Collateral). Do NOT emulate him in Eyes Wide Shut, though the Hungarian guy’s tonality in EWS is fantastic.
-Johnny Depp (Pirates series in how he flirts with the female lead, Don Juan de Marco, The Libertine)
-Daniel Day Lewis in Last of the Mohicans
-Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man
-David Duchovny in Californication
-Clark Gable in Gone with the Wind
-John Malkovitch in Dangerous Liaisons
-Jack Nicholson in The Witches of Eastwick
-Clive Owen in Elizabeth
-Robert Pattinson for the tortured “artist” archetype in the Twilight series.
-Ryan Phillipe in Cruel Intentions
-Brad Pitt (Fight Club, Meet Joe Black, Ocean’s series)
-Ryan Reynolds in Van Wilder
-Mickey Rourke in 9 1/2 Weeks
-Campbell Scott in Rodger Dodger
-Vince Vaughn (Swingers, Wedding Crashers)
-Anything with Russell Brand is money.
Btw, yes, I’m still working hard on those writing projects.
Play on, The Asian Rake
