I just finished enjoying _Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay_, and started to think about what an under-appreciated film genre this is. I mean, man, the brilliance of Cheech, and especially Chong, just blows my mind, man! šŸ˜› Please help me create a comprehensive list that future generations may refer to when learning about the core values of our society. To start: Up In Smoke Nice Dreams Half Baked Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay Harold and Kumar Go to the White Castle ---

How can you leave _Next Movie_ off the list? Itā€™s their best one, man. Cousin Red, man. Also, _Fast Times at Ridgemont High_, _Heavy Metal_ (maybe not technically a stoner movie in that itā€™s not about people smoking weed, but itā€™s definitely made FOR people smoking weed), and perhaps the greatest movie of all time, _The Big Lebowski_. ---

Not to harsh your buzz, but Iā€™m confused mannnn. Is this, like, a list of, like, movies in which people get stoned, or is this like, is this like, is this likeā€¦what were we talking 'bout? Oh yeah! Is this a list of movies to watch when youā€™re getting stoned? Cuz if itā€™s the latter case, then Monty Python movies gotta go there: ā€œHoly Grailā€, ā€œLife of Brianā€ and ā€œMeaning of Life.ā€ And ā€œFantasiaā€ dude! Yeah, TOTALLY trippy! And ā€œFritz the Catā€, and ā€œSavage Planetā€ (that French toon with like the seriously little people in it? Whoaa, man, heavy!) But, dude, whatEVER you do, totally do NOT watch ā€œthe Texas Chainsaw Massacreā€ when youā€™re tokinā€™. I mean, WHOAAA, that is one seriously bad acid trip movie, yā€™know? ---

_The Stoned Age_. Not very well known and underappreciated by the few who do know it. Truly a masterpiece. More quotable lines than any movie Iā€™ve ever seen, by a long shot. ---

I saw that soon after I saw Dazed and Confused, and I thought it far outshone D&C. Although the maker of D&C did make the fantastic movie SLACKER. ---

To be clear, I meant movies that feature actually getting stoned, like weed itself is kind of a character, man. Or the key common element among the characters, man. Donā€™t mean to be a buzzkill to those of you suggesting movies to watch WHILE stoned. But that really wasnā€™t the point. IMO thereā€™s very few pictures that arenā€™t improved by watching them stoned. šŸ˜› ---

> [@FriarTed](#): > > I saw that soon after I saw Dazed and Confused, and I thought it far outshone D&C. I think a lot of people (including me, at first) avoided it because they thought it was a ripoff of Dazed and Confused, but they are two very different movies. ---

Iā€™m annually disappointed that the Academy ignores this whole genre, when everyone knows that most of the creative talent in Hollywood is drug-inspired. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-definitive-list-of-stoner-movies/485227.md?page=2)
