Best Movies To Watch High: Stoner Movies For 4/20 (VIDEO)

April 20 is an unofficial national holiday for the insomnia-affected part of the nation that likes to party. If that sentence made zero sense to you, then skip this article. But for those who may be interested in celebrating 4/20, Moviefone has put together a list of film recommendations that we think you'll find mesmerizing (and don't worry, you're not going to end up on some government watch-list).

Psst, yeah you -- look, you can watch anything today and it will be amazing. Frankly, we're amazed that you've read this far without getting distracted by Tupac holograms or videos of talking huskies. So if there are Tumblr GIFs you need to stare at for twenty minutes, then go ahead and bookmark this page and keep it on file.

And stoners consider this your one warning: Most of these videos are NSFW.

20. 'Pink Floyd's The Wall'

Hey man, don't you think Warner Bros. should just give in and release an official mashup of "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wizard of Oz" already? Really, what harm could it do?

Moviefone doesn't condone the use of illegal substances... But, if you can't laugh along with this article, you really need to mellow out.

I agree, you would have to be high to watch most of these movies because they suck. The 20 best movies to watch when you're high are the 20 best movies, period. Citizen Kane, Goodfellas, Godfather, Deer Hunter yada yada yada ....

Great list, really refreshing to see some uncommon pothead movies :)

Most lists I have seen only feature the movies that are directly related to weed, like Half Baked or How High for example ;)

If you want to dive into those classic flicks, I can recommend a nice blog called :

Back in the day, I remember people going out under the influence to repertory cinemas like the Elgin Theatre in NYC to see offbeat things like Fellini Satyricon, Greaser's Palace, El Topo, The Ruling Class, King of Hearts, Where's Poppa?, Harold and Maude, Children of Paradise, pretty much any early Robert Altman film...stuff that was considered too weird for the masses. Busby Berkeley movies took on a whole new level of trippiness, as I recall, and you could sometimes catch a double feature of, say, 42nd Street and one of the Gold-Diggers of... flicks.

Whoever came up with this list has probably never even smoked pot. Do your readers a favor and roll a fatty of fellowship and fun before you try to tell us what stoners like without being stoned.... So lame.

Dude! That's the most retarded list of stoner flicks I could imagine. No stoner I know would have picked ANY of those! (maybe The Wall). Who ever made this list is not, nor will ever be, a stoner Top 5 (in no particular order) Fast Time At Ridgemont High, Caddy Shack, Caveman, Death Race 2000, The Wizard of Oz! These are STONER movies, not just movies that have people in them that are stoned you goobers.

. . you miss the point. . you don't want movies ABOUT or involving weed, you want to have a personal weed EXPERIENCE . .. . so need something to storm those doors of perception, not make your mind work hard! Geez, kids today! LOL

Geez! You forgot Fantasia, 2001, The Gods Must Be Crazy, Easy Rider. . .all much more stoner movies than some on your list . .O.M.G . . . you forgot Cheech and Chong . .is that you Dave?

Bill Murray in the 1980 “Where the Buffalo Roam” is much better than “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” if you seek a Hunter S. Thompson fix.

I would also recommend Michael Nesmith’s 1981 “Elephant Parts”.

No Cheech & Chong Movies?.....No Half Baked?....Your list blows big time!!!!

How could you leave out 'Fantasia'? Or '2001: A Space Odyssey'?
