Top Ten Stoner Movies!!!

Gotta have either a memorable stoner in the film or just have pervasive drug use.
1.How High


Redman and Method man in a movie in which they smoke pot fertilized with their dead friends ashes. He magically appears before them and helps them pass their THC (Testing for Higher Credentials). Amazingly, they get accepted to Harvard! You can imagine the debauchery that ensues. White people will never be the same.
2.Half-Baked

Thurgood (Dave Chappelle), Scarface (Guillermo Diaz) and Brian (Jim Breuer) are stoners who have to figure out a way to get their friend Kenny (Harland Williams) out of jail. So they do what they think they know best – peddle pot. This is one of those movies that is funny but a whole lot funnier if you’re stoned.
3.Reefer Madness

The movie that started it all. It’s really a public service announcement made in 1936 that chronicles how evil and terrible pot is. It was meant to scare the shit out of everyone but it is impossible to not find amusement in it. It’s amazing how sensationalized reefer was way back when – now it’s a ticket if you get caught with a joint in New York (or at least it was a few years ago)!
4.Dazed and Confused

A rite of passage movie for a bunch of teens at a Texas high school. Lots of drinking and smoking leads to hazings and pranks. Most memorable is Wooderson an older guy who loves to party with high schoolers. When asked about his lifestyle he poignantly replies, “That’s what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.” Amen!
5.Harold and Kumar go to White Castle

Roommates Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) love to smoke pot and eat White Castle burgers. They travel all over New Jersey after lighting up in an effort to find an open restaurant. Along the way, they have some strange encounters, most notably one with Neil Patrick Harris.
6.The Big Lebowski

From the twisted minds of the Coen brothers. Jeff Bridges is Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski, a perpetually stoned slacker, who is inadvertently involved in a mistaken identity situation. Two thugs want money from him and piss on his rug in an effort to coerce him into paying. Knowing nothing of the debt, he must figure out how to solve his problem while at the same time getting his rug cleaned or replaced .
7.Clerks.

This is a given. Jay and Silent Bob are two of the most known pot heads in the world. Jason Mewes is a foul mouthed dealer who spouts out some of the funniest lines ever written. Basically, they hang in front of a convenience store selling dope and pissing off the guys inside. This movie belongs in every movie collection.
8.Friday

There has to be an urban movie in the list. Smokey (Chris Tucker) and Craig (Ice Cube) are best friends. Smokey is a burnout who aggravates you so much you just laugh at his incessant whining. His ridiculousness leads to a memorable Friday for everyone on the block. Very funny.
9.Up In Smoke

The original masterpiece starring Cheech and Chong. These guys were the poster boys for slacking. Their days are consumed with smoking pot, chasing skirts and little else. In this particular title they unknowingly try and smuggle a van made entirely of cannabis into the United States. Those were the days!
10.Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Probably the best high school film ever made. It boasts an all-star cast made up of Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates, Forest Whitaker, among others. The standout is Sean Penn as Jeff Spicoli. As far as I’m concerned Sean Penn will always be the stoned, surfer dude without a care in the world. If you haven’t seen this movie, shame on you

That list kinda sucks. How High as number one? That is one of the worst movies ever. Friday probably should have been number one and Harold should have been at the bottom.

um.NO. while i can agree with some of of these movies,you left out "fear and loathing in las Vegas". hunter and gonzo not only do more drugs than ANY of these movies, they do drugs not seen in any of these movies.

oh, and "How High"....sucked.

How High did suck, no doubt. I agree with others, Fear and Loathing should've been on that list. Clerks a stoner movie? I love the movie, but besides Jay and Silent Bob BARELY dealing in the parking lot, there is no pot in this movie. Spun was good but wasn't a stoner movie, that was a pure meth movie. I'd probably add Rolling Kansas to the list as well. Almost anything is better than How High!

Bongwater is a hilarious pot movie.
What about Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny? Almost anything with Jack Black is a pot comedy.
How about Freak Talks About Sex?

Ok I gotta say, the ULTIMATE stoner movie that isnt cliche like most of these is "Grandma's Boy". Its fucking outstanding, anyone else think so?

What about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? That's the trippiest movie ever

Yeah, I've got to agree...this list blows ass. "No Fear and Loathing", no "Homegrown", no "True Romance" (Brad Pitt smoking weed out of a honeybear bong?), "Dead Man On Campus"...

Sorry dude, but this list is about as shitty as that schwag you've been smokin'.

thats because your ignorant, patrick.

go to bedroommedia.com and look up fear and loathing. likei said, more drugs than ANY of these movies (they sure as hell didn't use any adrenachrome in "how high") AND it's plot is good.

+if you try and keep up with them, you'll never make it. i kept up with ALL these other movies. wasn't even a challenge.

and, as far as THIS list goes, up in smoke is far better, and should be at #1

Yeah, alot of those movies are great, but Grandma's Boy REALLY needs to be in there. And honestly, I can kinda see why "Fear and Loathing" wasn't included, because that movie more so appealed to ALL drug users instead of stoners.
