Since that last thread had legs, I thought it might be interesting to talk about movies you could watch under the influence. **2001 A Space Odyssey** is, of course, mandatory viewing. ---

Me and these Titles; My primary screen is set at 2k because my drawing tablet is plugged in, but the screen isn’t meant for 2k, so it’s tough to see… anyway, how do I get ahold of a moderator to fix it? ---

It depends what you are looking for… -Into The Spider-Verse has great animation and music. -Stop Making Sense for the music. -Stuff by Ron Fricke (Koyaanisqatsi, Baraka and Samsara). The guy has an incredible vision for capturing things on film. ---

Apocalyse Now is a biggie. Generally though I find being a boring old fart now has completely changed my opinion on the really surreal stuff I used to watch as a stoned teenager. Apocalyse Now has held up well (though isn’t in the top 5 all time greats for me any more), but the more surreal stuff like David Lynch or, god forbid, Jodorowsky I have super low opinion of now. Sorry 19-year-old me, films that are just being surreal and weird, with no actual compelling plot or characters speak of, so you pretty much have to be stoned to appreciate them, are just bad films. ---

This response is to the original op title “movies you what(ed) when high”. 😁 I had just gotten contact lenses after wearing glasses most of my life when I went to see “Blade Runner”. I had already seen it a few times and this was a re-release to theaters. My friend and I got really high on the way to the movie. After the movie, I told my friend that it seemed way more dark than I remembered. He pointed out that I was still wearing my sunglasses. My response for the op title when it gets changed to “watched” is definitely “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”. ---
