Zardoz
20th Century StudiosThis wacky film about the future of Earth in the year 2293 is hard to even explain sober, so being fully zonked while watching Zardoz may actually help in understanding just what in the hell is going on. The gist: a giant, floating stone statute of a head rules over the planet and convinces us that war is good and procreation is bad. Of course, everything is not as simple as it seems.

The Wizard of Oz
MGMSomething about "oz" being in the title just makes The Wizard of Oz a good film to watch while you're high. Stoners have believed that this classic film syncs up perfectly with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. I suggest you be the judge.

What We Do in the Shadows
The OrchardWhat We Do in the Shadows is absurd. A mockumentary about vampires just trying to live in the real world is thwarted when a human wants in on the fun. And once you finish this one up, check out FX OnDemand for the 2019 show inspired by the film.

This is the End
Suzanne HanoverIn a list of new classics, This is the End is near the top—and if anything, it’s a (hilarious) cautionary tale that if the world is actually ending, put down the bong.
Inside Out
DisneyReally, any Pixar film is a good bet, but if you’re looking for one that will get you in your feelings without ruining you, Inside Out walks the line perfectly.
Avatar
20th Century FoxWe’ve got colors. We’ve got action. We’ve got a whole new universe. We’ve got an underlying message about not fucking up the environment. Avatar is a trip that deserves a toke.

Dazed and Confused
AlphavilleAnd, of course, at the top of the heap? Alright, alright, alright. Dazed and Confused. It’s the all-time stoner classic, and if you can’t rely on it, then you can’t rely on anything.
The OA

Star Trek: Discovery
CBSListen, there's no better time to get reacquainted with the new Star Trek series than after a hit or two. You can stream it on CBS All Access or check it out elsewhere, but with only a couple seasons under its belt, it's worth the peep.
Pineapple Express
Columbia PicturesPineapple Express is quintessential Rogen. A stoner film through and through, Pineapple Express follows a guy and his dealer escaping from a hitman, and it's bananas the whole way through. When Seth Rogen comes to mind, Pineapple Express is likely not far behind.
Friday
New Line CinemaIt's very likely that Friday is the greatest stoner movie ever. This isn't up for debate. It gave us "Bye Felicia" and the best cinematic performance from Ice Cube ever. End of story.
