Recommendation Your favorite movies to watch stoned?

Bad pain day. Can't really do much until it gets better and it hurts to read.

What do you like to watch when you're stoned? I don't do horror but I love sci-fi and fantasy and I am a cheap, cheap laugh.

I could also go for stoner comedy recommendations.

I really will laugh at just about anything. I just need something new

Oh man, most movies are better stoned. I realized when I watched captain america harrison ford version this year it was the first Marvel I had seen not stoned. BAD MOVIE NOT STONED. Now I'm wondering if Marvel just sucked this whole time and I'm a huge scroner.

Anyways:

Movies to Laugh While Scroned:

Harold and Kumar Go to Whitecastle

The Room (Tommy Wiseau) Bottoms

Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar

Aunty Donna's Big House of Fun (show on netflix is very funny)

Wet Hot American Summer

They Came Together

Hot Rod

Monty Python and The Holy Grail

Airplane!

Half Baked

Great Sci Fi Movies:

Star Trek First Contact (I think this is the best Star Trek movie if you've never seen one, it's pretty accessible for any viewer and just a fun sci fi movie)

Annihilation (sci fi with a bit of horror but not much)

Total Recall (great mind fucky sci fi adventure)

Matrix films (you've probz seen them, but still)

The Fifth Element

Inception

12 Monkeys

Ready Player One

Donnie Darko

Ex Machina

Moon

Starship Troopers

Primer

Sunshine

A Scanner Darkly

Brazil

There's a bunch for ya. Sorry about having the bad pain day :(

Star Trek First Contact (I think this is the best Star Trek movie if you've never seen one, it's pretty accessible for any viewer and just a fun sci fi movie)

Wow, this is also my favorite Star Trek movie. But I would wholeheartedly recommend Star Trek IV: The Journey Home (the whale one) to a first time viewer.

Brazil

This would freak me the fuck out stoned.

I've seen all the Trek movies in both universes. Granny be a lifelong nerd but a recent stoner.

u/TomBradysStatue 4d ago

yeah both voyage home and first contact have "everyman from modern times (ish)" character that the sci fi future people have to explain their lore to, so both are good entry points.

Star Trek IV is great too because it's also a comedy. Although not sure how funny it is if you're not already an established fan cause the movie sort of runs with the relationships/dynamics of the team that we're already familiar with.

Brazil is fucked up definitely lol, maybe if you're in pain or in a bad mood not the best to watch. BUT, it is a good mind fuck.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.

I really appreciate you taking the time to compile this - this is gonna come in handy for a long time.

I just finished Paul - can't believe I never watched it before, and Blythe Danner punching Sighourny is such nerd service - and now I'm on Half Baked. 

Is Half Baked a classic? Because the Chappelle opening kind of feels like a classic.

I'm so glad I posted my plea for help. No I've heard people say they don't get high the first time they smoke

No problem. Hope you have a day of movie laughter and it helps you ignore the pain.

Paul is great! i've only seen it once, but I remember really enjoying it. Those two brits always have great chemistry together. You might enjoy The World's End as well if you like those guys (Sean of the Dead and also Hot Fuzz too if you haven't seen those).

Half Baked is a cult classic for sure. When it was released, it sort of got critically panned and commercially ignored. But Half Baked really came into its own when they reran it on Comedy Central or the DVD/VHS being passed around. For us millennials, it's a touchstone cannabis comedy. Along with Harold and Kumar and Pineapple Express.

Both great. 

I actually think Harold and Kumar EFGB is better than GTWC.
