I don't know if I would want to watch Brazil in an altered state. The first time I saw that film in the theater, I was so thunderstruck that the lights came up after the credits and I still couldn't get out of my seat.
Another one like that is Knocked Up, where Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen go see a Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas tripping on mushrooms.
Not a stoner comedy in the classic sense - "Leaves Of Grass" with Edward Norton playing twin brothers, one a college professor, the other a weed grower/dealer. Also features Susan Sarandon, Richard Dreyfus, Tim Blake Nelson, and a nice supporting turn by Steve Earle of all people. Good, underrated movie.
I agree! My parents, who were in their 50s when this movie came out, thought the first one was hilarious! They just innocently enjoyed the antics these two got into.
I'm not much of a movie guy, but years ago I had the day off work with no kids, so I was stoned all day. I decided to watch a movie for some reason, and I landed on "Smiley Face" starring Anna Faris. It was a stupid movie, but totally entertaining for my stoned ass. I enjoyed it. Plus, Anna is nice to look at.
Not a stoner movie, but It's Complicated. Meryl Streep and Steve Martin get high, go to a party, escape to the powder room, then John Krasinski comes in, and he and Steve share some smoke. Hilarious bit in the movie, and the movie is really funny.
Was gonna post last night but didn’t, Friday is a top stoner film. ok someone thankfully beat me to it, tgif.
Why must someone predicate their answer by stating, "I'm not a stoner, but..."? I'm stoned and my favorite Stoner Movie is Friday (1995). I wrote a lot more, but...
I can't say I've ever been a stoner . . . but I have the munchies right now. Think I'll go to Burger King and order the menu . . . Bill Cosby had a routine in the 1970s that was on one of his albums titled "My Father Confused Me! What Must I Do?" (or something like that). One of the bits was 'Dudes on Dope'. A doped-up guy goes to Burger King and the gal behind the counter says "May I take your Order?" and Stoner Guy says "Yeah, I wanna see the King!". Movies: NATIONAL LAMPOON's CLASS REUNION (1982). Deffo some 'stoner' elements in this one. UP IN SMOKE (1978) C & C's NICE DREAMS (1981) I LOVE YOU, ALICE B. TOKLAS (1968) and JEWEL ROBBERY (1932). I put this title in 'BOLD' on purpose because no one's mentioned it yet and it's worth checking out. It's a pre-Code movie that runs 70 minutes. It stars William Powell and Kay Francis. If you have 1 hr 10 mins to spare check it out and you'll see why I mentioned it. Here's a movie I've read about but not seen yet: ARNOLD's WRECKING CO. (1973). For years it was 'Lost', but then it was found and now looks to be available to stream.
Man, it was a struggle to make it through Stalker sober, that movie is an undertaking. If I watched it while high, I would just be very confused and eventually fall asleep.
Because you are writing for a cannibis magazine I want to post the question. What defines a stoner movie? "Back To The Future" shows the Enchanted By The Sea dance band smoking up outside by the car, but I don't think this would qualify even though it specifically has drug use in the movie. "Rubber" which is one of the weirdest movies you might watch, has no stoner moments...but the movie may be much better if watched when stoned. Cheech and Chongs "Up In Smoke" pretty much set the tone for a specifically focused stoner movie.....Nothing about that movie denies the fact they are using drugs. Anything Jim Breuer acts in automatically gets a stoner vibe because his whole aura emits "stoner" even if he is just standing there. And of course the brand new "Cocaine Bear" specifically follows the antics of a bear who has consumed a large amount of cocaine. Where do you draw the line Ghostworld? What makes a movie a stoner movie? For now my list would include: "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" (this movie hits so many targets I can't pick just one, but Spicoli is a great stoner and this character set the bar) "Friday", "Next Friday", "Friday After Next" (The two doofuses are just fun to watch and it does give a taste of the neighborhood lifestyle...even if tougue-in-cheek) (John Witherspoon, as Mr. Jones, steals the show whenever he is in the scene and makes the movie much better) "Up In Smoke" (Two grown men lost in a world of getting high while being harmless dudes having fun)
Yup, 1964 Chevy Impala SS......but they wern't driving man. No man.....I think they were parked man...
Eye candy! Colors and production design! Awesome creature! Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness
The deranged 1976 animated movie HUGO THE HIPPO definitely has a "stoner vibe". If someone reading this endeavours to watch it . . . I'll pray for your sanity when it's over. This flick is supposedly for children, but it'll probably give them weird dreams about sharks that look like they came from an aquatic version of "Cruising".
Cheech and Chong; Up In Smoke Next Movie Nice Dreams Things Are Tough All Over...why? because they are funny as hell...even my Mom liked them!
