These are the titles suggested by me and the other people in the room. By all means contribute your own!
Heavy Metal? Pink Floyd’s The Wall?
Good calls!
Dazed and Confused & Friday, multi-generational stoners.
CMC fnord!
:eek: <Hold it!
Koyaanisqatsi
Other–where’s **The Wizard of Oz **(by itself or synched to Dark Side of the Moon)?
Ooh, I forgot about Dazed and Confused. Good call on the others, too. Definitely Dark Side of the Rainbow.
Totally down with **Dazed and Confused, Heavy Metal, **and The Wall. Every one of these have most excellent soundtracks.
I voted Half Baked, but I almost went with Harold & Kumar.
I nominate Rolling Kansas and Fast Times At Ridgemont High.
Yellow Submarine,Magical Mystery Tour, Homegrown.
Romancing the Stone
I watched Eraserhead the first time while stoned.
Not recommended!
Withnail And I. Far more booze than drugs, granted, but any movie that features the Camberwell Carrot deserves a mention at least.

“This’ll tend to make you … very … high…”
Arg, I can’t believe I missed this thread yesterday.
I have a killer recommendation for anybody who hasn’t seen it: Smiley Face. It’s a stoner comedy by Gregg Araki, and I think it’s absolutely the best stoner comedy I’ve ever seen.
It’s a day in the life of a character who accidentally gets way, way, way, way too high early on very important day.
It’s delightful because it’s the most accurate representation of “being high” I’ve seen on film.
It’s also delightful because the whole film is essentially a tale of somebody throwing their life away and burning bridges, but it’s played as a comedy because the protagonist is way too high to realize what’s going on.
Layered, unsettling, and exceedingly funny.
I know it’s late, but, in the everlasting spirit of 420, I humbly present to you Reefer Madness, in color!
Enjoy!
Ice Cube and Chris Tucker in Friday.
I’d like to throw out a few more suggestions for 4/20-type films…
Space Is the Place starring Sun Ra & his Arkestra.
the Song Remains the Same with Led Zep.
Or for something a little more modern, there’s the Triplets of Belleville.
I Love You, Alice B. Toklas (1968.) starring Peter Sellers as an uptight Yank who receives a life-changing plate of brownies from the random hippie chick his slacker brother brings to their father’s funeral.
If you’ve seen it too many times, I also recommend Psych-Out (1968,) in which Jack Nicholson, Bruce Dern, and Dean Stockwell play dirty hippies in Haight-Ashbury.
If you don’t want to see something that directly references drugs of any sort but still manages to be over-the-top psychedelic, check out The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T., (1953,) Dr. Suess’s only original live action film.
This was going to be my recommendation. I hurt myself laughing when I watched this last year. It’s the best stoner movie I’ve ever seen.
