10.) Zombieland
Not a stoner film at all, but this (barely) makes the top ten because it has the most memorable pot smoking scene I have ever witnessed in a movie. If you haven’t seen it you won’t get it and I can’t explain without ruining it.
9.) Rolling Kansas
This movie follows friends trying to find a long lost marijuana forest that their parents used to go to when they were children. This results in a crazy road trip and a pretty entertaining movie
8.) Pineapple Express
A more recent stoner movie, starring Seth Rogan and James Franco, that follows two buddies on the run from a very angry and dangerous drug dealer. They keep smoking pot and they keep getting into shenanigans. It is the perfect combination of buddy film and marijuana.
7.) Reefer Madness
A propaganda anti-drug film made in1936 trying to warn teenagers of the uses of marijuana. This film blames marijuana for such acts as suicide, manslaughter and rape. Also this film refers to marijuana as deadly and claims that if enough is smoked a person will become mentally ill. We all know this is not fact, but is worth a laugh to see the exaggeration.
6.) Super Troopers
Broken Lizard made this hilarious movie about state troopers who decide to mess with citizens, meow. This would not be considered a “stoner movie” but…the most memorable scenes involve marijuana, meow. Best scene: “Littering and…littering and…littering and…smoking the reefer.”
5.) Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
This was the perfect mid twenties stoner movie. It wasn’t about sixteen year olds running around and smoking pot behind their parent’s backs. This movie follows Harold and Kumar; two guys who decide to take a break of ordinary mundane life by smoking pot and getting White Castle Burgers. They both end up on a night they might never remember or might never forget.
4.) Half Baked
Three stoners decide to sell pot to get their friend out of jail. Very funny film, cameos by Snoop Dogg, John Stewart and Willy Nelson. This movie has something for everyone.
3.) Cheech and Chong: Up in Smoke
Cheech and Chong try to smuggle a van made entirely of marijuana from Mexico. This is the original road trip stoner movie. Perfect for ages 16-60, and as they say, “Don’t go straight to see this movie!”
2.) Friday
Ice Cube, Chris Tucker and pot. Do I need to say more? Puff, puff.
1.) Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny
This movie is the unrealistic epic tale of the beginning of the band Tenacious D, involving power slides, Sasquatch and using the devil’s horn as a bong. This movie is really is one of the campiest movies I have seen in years. If you don’t laugh at cheesy over the top stuff, don’t see it…or put the medical license to good work beforehand.

Whatever happened to peace, love and understanding? In Adam Sherman's "Happiness Runs, " communal life is more like sex, drugs and alienation. Based on his hippie upbringing, the movie portrays the dark side of the utopian dream that pervaded the '60s.
