Watch this high
In the beginning, things generally sucked. It took many eons before things started to suck less. Here and Now, things don’t always suck, and we have a) movies to watch and 2) marijuana. Well, we don’t all have marijuana, but if that *beep* was in the store, I’d buy up a pound and eat it like salad. With bacon bits, and cheese.
Most people choose stoner films based on the idea that stoners want to watch stoners in a comedy. My list is different. These are films which indulge the viewers in an experience—a ride out of time and space.

- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMalcolm McDowellPatrick MageeMichael BatesIn the future, a sadistic gang leader is imprisoned and volunteers for a conduct-aversion experiment, but it doesn't go as planned.Since I've got two Kubric movies on here, you might think, "Let's go watch all of Kubric's movies." Don't watch this. You will want to scoop out that part of your brain with a melon baller once this movie gets in there. I warned you.

- DirectorMichael LehmannStarsWinona RyderChristian SlaterShannen DohertyAt Westerburg High where cliques rule, jocks dominate and all the popular girls are named Heather, it's going to take a Veronica and mysterious new kid to give teen angst a body count.Christian Slater and Wynona Ryder are just weird people. A black comedy.
