There’s this old movie called _Get Crazy_, starring Daniel Stern, of all people, as a manager of a rock club which is closing. It’s basically your, Hey Kids, Let’s Put On A Show type of thing, but with punk rock and drugs. It features a running gag where Lou Reed is supposed to show up, but his limo gets lost – he does end up performing at the club, to an empty room as he got there too late … but I’m rambling.

In this film, there is a fantastic secondary character who is basically a six-foot joint, with arms and legs, reminiscent of the talking joint in the old Doonesbury comics.  
Damn, I hadn’t thought of that movie in years. Must explore Netflix.

_Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery_ – groovy!  
_The Big Lebowski_ – already mentioned, perhaps the all-time best  
_The Cell_ – creepy but far out  
_Pulp Fiction_ – ought to be on the list somewhere

_Trading Places_ has a classic smoking weed in a public restroom scene.

Coincidentally, I first saw that movie at a theater in Piccadilly Circus right after I’d just gotten done smoking up in the bathroom. I was even more freaked out later that night when (after rebooting in another bathroom), I saw _An American Werewolf in London_ which featured a scene of a werewolf runnng amok in Piccadilly. I was like, “Dude, that’s right where we are, dude.” I turned around looking for the wolf to bust into the theater.

Oh, man, chick flicks on weed… if I was high now I’d already be crying just thinking about it.

When, I’m not high. the only movie I cry at the end of every time is… Rocky.

_History of the World, Part I_ features our heroes befuddling the pursuing Roman soldiers with a really big joint.

_Young Guns_ or possibly _Young Guns II_ had a scene involving drug use…I think it was peyote, as part of a “vision quest” thing.

_Clerks_, _Mallrats_, _Dogma_, _Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back_, and _Clerks II_ (I left out _Chasing Amy_ because Jay and Silent Bob only had a short cameo in that one).

_Saving Grace_ was a movie about a widow horticulturalist who in a desperate attempt to keep her house, turns to growing weed. It has the added bonus of having Craig Ferguson in it.
