Stoner Movies: Best Films to Watch on 420

Brought to you by:

It’s that time of year when you’re lighting up, celebrating the 420 holiday, craving some snacks, and looking for something good to watch. Except, what’s this? You log on to a streaming service and can’t seem to find something that piques your interest?

Yeah, nobody wants to spend hours on end browsing through titles. So this 420, it’s time to come prepared.

What are the best films to watch on 420?

There are some obvious choices, of course. Everyone loves The Big Lebowski. Everyone loves Pineapple Express. You’ve seen these movies. You know these movies. If you’re looking for a couple of less obvious picks you haven’t seen, though — well, don’t worry. I got you covered. Here’s a list of five films to watch on 420.

Smoking Causes Coughing

Looking for something truly, genuinely strange to watch this 420? Try Smoking Causes Coughing. Quentin Dupieux is best known for making 2010’s Rubber — that’s right, the movie about the murderous car tire with psychokinetic powers. Last year, he made what could sort of, kind of be described as a superhero movie; although, it’s nothing like any superhero movie you’ve seen before. It’s utterly ridiculous, insanely funny, and there’s a giant tortoise that explodes into disgusting, bloody goop within the first five minutes. Who wouldn’t want to watch that?

Smoking Causes Coughing is now streaming on Hulu.

Mandy

Sometimes, when you’re stoned, the mood calls for a highly stupid slapstick comedy. Other times, you want to watch a trippy, weird horror movie that sees Nicolas Cage avenge his wife’s death by murdering a demonic biker gang from hell. Good thing Mandy exists, am I right? Nicolas Cage has arguably never been more Nicolas Cage than he is in this movie; which is to say, he’s not afraid to get REAL weird and fully commit to the absurdity of this story.

Mandy is now streaming on Hulu and Shudder.

Everybody Wants Some!!

Odds are, you’ve probably seen Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused (and, if you haven’t, you should — it’s a hoot). What you may not have seen, however, is the spiritual sequel also directed by Linklater, Everybody Wants Some!! Released in 2016, the movie follows a group of baseball players navigating life in the 1980s. They drink, they smoke, they go to parties, and they get up to all kinds of crazy shenanigans. It’s every bit as infectiously entertaining as Dazed and Confused, all with an ending that goes somewhere profoundly earnest. It’s a no-brainer as one of the best films to watch on 420.

Everybody Wants Some!! is now available to rent on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+.

Ponyo

Ponyo? Studio Ghibli’s take on The Little Mermaid? That Ponyo? Yes, that Ponyo. It may not seem like an obvious stoner movie, but think about it. It’s got a whole bunch of extravagant colors and it is (quite literally) overflowing with animated sea life. It’s also a very comfy movie — like the type of thing you can put on that’ll make you forget about all the day’s stresses for a while. Ponyo is a delight. And adding a little THC to the situation while watching it is only going to make it better.

Ponyo is now streaming on Max.

Wet Hot American Summer

There is perhaps no greater American comedy of the 21st century than Wet Hot American Summer. I’ll say it again. There is perhaps no greater American comedy of the 21st century than Wet Hot American Summer. Right from the start, this movie tells you, ‘Yeah, we’re going to get dumb with this.” And they do. And then it just keeps getting dumber and dumber and dumber as it goes on. It is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud and there are tons of famous people and cameos thrown in here; if you’re high and looking to chuckle, this movie will get the job done.

Wet Hot American Summer is now streaming on Hulu and Shudder.
