10 Best Stoner Movies of All Time

Brad Pitt’s finest moment? Hard to argue. He’s barely recognizable as the burnout with the bong on the couch – the inspiration for James Franco’s role in Pineapple Express. (Nothing wrong with Patricia Arquette, either.) His Floyd is a sage, whether he’s mumbling at the TV or inviting a posse of gun-toting Mob killers to smoke a bowl.

Stoniest moment: Let’s give Floyd the last word: “Hey, get some beer and cleaning products!”

The crown jewel of Snoop Dogg‘s cinesplifferamic oeuvre. He stars as Captain Mack, the pilot of this airborne hooptie, flying the friendly skies with a weed-and-‘shrooms diet. “This is your soul-plane chauffeur, Captain Antoine Mack, speaking. Welcome aboard NWA Flight 069 from the 310 to the 212. . . . We fuckin’ higher than Redman at the Source Awards!”

Stoniest moment: Snoop falls into a drug-induced coma, making the crew worry whether he’s really “Wilt Chamberlain dead” or merely “Tupac dead.”

Keanu Reeves takes up permanent residence in the stoner-flick Hall of Fame, although not even The Matrix or Point Break took him this far into the zone. As he and his buddy go traveling through time, the blankness all over his face made people marvel at his subtle acting. Maybe it wasn’t acting? Whoa!

Stoniest moment: Bill and Ted go back in time to meet Socrates (you know, “So-Crates”) and blow his mind by philosophizing over “Dust in the Wind.”

One day in the life of Ice Cube and Chris Tucker, chilling on a South Central porch with a head full of smoke. Tucker is one dealer who doesn’t mind getting high on his own supply. But remember: You don’t want to smoke up Big Worm’s stash, because playing with his money is like playing with his emotions.

Stoniest moment: Tucker teaches Cube the right way to inhale, with the sacred law of “Puff, puff, give.”

A candid portrait of the insanity of American society – disguised as a slapstick romp about two men on a quest for the right burger. Because some nights Burger Shack just won’t cut it. Along the way, they face the question every stoner must ask at some point: “Dude, didn’t we come here on a cheetah?”

Stoniest moment: The cameo from Neil Patrick Harris, who turns out to be an Ecstasy-crazed heterosexual: “It’s a sausage fest in here, bro. Let’s get us some poontang, and then we’ll go to White Castle. . . . The ‘Doogie’ line always works on strippers!”

Method Man and Redman go to Harvard (“How did I fail Women’s Studies? I love bitches!”) after discovering a new kind of chronic that turns them into geniuses. Their secret: using the ashes of their dead friend to fertilize their weed crop.

Stoniest moment: When they run out of their stash, Meth and Red dig up the body of John Quincy Adams and smoke his bones.

It’s hard to turn a stoner comedy into a franchise – those require a little too much follow-through. But Cheech & Chong pulled it off with the immortal trilogy of Up in Smoke, Cheech & Chong’s Next Movie and Nice Dreams. And like the Godfather and Star Wars trilogies, this one peaks with Chapter Two – with some help from Pee-wee Herman. “Man, if you had a second brain,” says Cheech, “it would die of loneliness, man.”

Stoniest moment: After one toke over the line, Cheech loses his sense of time. “Man, I’m gonna be late for work again. That’s the fifth time this week – and it’s only Tuesday, man!”
