Top 5: Stoner Movies

Runner-Up:

Grandma’s Boy

This is an extremely underrated movie about a stoner video game tester who is forced to move in with his grandmother. Yes, it’s produced by Adam Sandler‘s production company. Yes, it sounds like it has the most idiotic plot ever. Yes, it has a bunch of actors in it that you’ve probably never seen anywhere else. But through all of these obstacles, a frigin’ hilarious movie was made. Highly recommended for the indie-buff stoner.

5) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Not your typical “Let’s smoke a joint and be retardedly entertained” movie, I still think it’s best to include this movie on the list. After all, I need to maintain some integrity! The movie is all about drugs, although, for the most part, they’re of a harder nature (but there’s some pot thrown in, too)! I will say, however, I think this movie meant more for the stoner who’s looking for a ‘smarter’ movie than some of the others on the list. A great movie and definitely great if you’re high!

4) Dazed and Confused

Pretty much everyone has seen Dazed and Confused and it’s an excellent film, but it’s also a perfect stoner movie. It’s about a group of senior high school kids in 1976 who, on their last day of school, feel it necessary to haze the incoming freshman, whilst getting stoned, drunk and laid. Amazing movie!

3) Pineapple Express

The first time I watched this, I thought it was f**king hilarious at some parts, but totally lame at others. Then I watched it again and just thought it was f**king hilarious. There are a shitload of really good one-liners in this movie and anytime you put Craig Robinson (Daryll, from The Office) in anything, except for that car selling movie with Jeremy Piven, it’s comedic gold. He’s just got that swagger.

2) Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

I had to watch this movie before making this list because in all honesty, I’d never seen it before. I thought it looked really stupid, so I’d never gotten around to watching it. But after hearing, from all of the pot heads I know, how hilarious the movie was, I figured I’d better give it a shot, and it didn’t disappoint, being a modern-day Cheech and Chong-esque type movie. This, of course, brings me to number one…

1) Cheech and Chong’s Up In Smoke

Probably the most famous stoner film of all time, no top 5 list of pothead movies could be complete without Up In Smoke. And, of course, due to it’s most legendary nature, it HAD to be numero uno. This film is a classic, is funny even by today’s standards and is absolutely necessary in every stoner’s repertoire.
