Foolonthehill 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2008 well yeah I could see someone who doesn't smoke pot not enjoying it, since so much of the movie was about stoner culture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Levis 6 Report post Posted December 6, 2008 Y'don't (shouldn't?) need weed to enjoy a good stoner movie. Maybe it's a guy thing then 'cos I'm just not a fan of slapstick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted December 6, 2008 Y'don't (shouldn't?) need weed to enjoy a good stoner movie. agreed Maybe it's a guy thing then 'cos I'm just not a fan of slapstick. I dunno... I enjoyed the Big Lebowski (is that a stoner movie? I didn't see it as such) but I couldn't stand Half-Baked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2008 What IS a stoner movie anyway? A movie about stoners? That'd be like a funny movie about someone who's drunk. I think those things are only fun when you do them yourselves, not when you watch someone else doing them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted December 6, 2008 I just thought about that question as I wrote the above post... I'm not sure... maybe somebody who knows more about it should compile a list or so... Trainspotting? not about Stoners, but Heroin addicts: VERY good movie Dude, Where is my car? (?) one of the worst films I've ever seen (are these stoner movies?)

The Seeker 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2008 Yeah Trainspotting is very good, but it's not supposed to be funny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted December 6, 2008 no, it's not... is that a requirement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2008 I thought it was. Wiki says "Stoner film is a subgenre of films that center around the use of the drug cannabis.[1] Typically, such movies show cannabis use in a comic and positive fashion. Cannabis use is one of the main themes, and inspires most of the plot." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batman 2 Report post Posted December 28, 2008 I think a stoner movie should be a movie that you like more when you're stoned. Like Half Baked, before I ever tried weed, I didn't like it at all, but sometime last year I saw it high and thought it was hilarious. Like the whole scene where Dave Chappelle is describing all the various types of weed smokers just isn't very funny if you haven't encountered them in smoke seshes yourself. And so much of the jokes in Pineapple Express are centered around awkward experiences when high, and people who have never smoked probably don't realize that half of being high is just having awkward experiences. The Big Lebowski I wouldn't classify as a stoner movie, it's more just a drama, and the fact that he smokes weed all the time is just part of his aging hippie character.

Tony Baloni 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2009 Haha yeah, Pineapple Express was a little too actiony for a stoned person. At least for me. It's really funny sober, but it gets pretty intense after a few giant bowls... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 2 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 I just added it to my Netflix, it's got a high score 7.5/10 out of 39,000 votes on imdb and if your search around (esp. MRQE ) you'll see many, many high rating reviews. Look's good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

berjo1429030949 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 I just started to watch it (for the first time) last night. Bought it cheap (previously viewed) at Blockbuster a few weeks ago. Anyway, only got through about 40 minutes or so (had a few errands) but did have quite a few funny moments. I know films are few and far between to be original but its been quite predictable which can be an annoyance. Anyway, don't hold me yet until I finish the film.

Wyld Card 5 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 Anyway, don't hold me yet until I finish the film. Not to give away any spoilers, but the best part is the final 20 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berjo1429030949 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 Not to give away any spoilers, but the best part is the final 20 minutes. I finished it earlier today and I give it a thumbs up. Hilarious in some scenes, especially that whole ordeal at his girlfriend's house. I can't exactly recall the quotes but when Seth says to his g/f, "Now, go downtown to the Days Inn hotel, and check in as the... Garagelys." LMFAO! I think I pissed myself when he said "Garagelys." lol Ooops, that may of been a spoiler. Okay, if didn't see it, there is a reason why he said "Garagelys." lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
