My Top 5 Stoner Films
Today I’m going to be listing my top 5 films that have become part of the smoking culture of today.
5. Grandma’s Boy
Director: Nicholaus Goossen
Written by: Barry Wernick, Allen Covert and Nick Swardson
Starring: Aleen Covert, Linda Cardellini and Shirley Jones
A hilarious tale of a 35 year old games tester that, due to his room mate spending the rent on hookers, has to move in with his grandma and her two elderly room mates.
This film is more than just immature ‘weed’ references; it has a great storyline with Side-splitting character that have made me laugh every time I’ve watched it. And that’s a lot of times.
4. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Director: Kevin Smith
Written by: Kevin Smith
Starring: Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith and Ben Affleck
Another amazing comedy from Kevin Smith that tells the story of stoners Jay and Silent Bob when they are on an adventurous mission/journey to sabotage a film (Blunt Man and Chronic) that is based on them.
As with all of Kevin Smiths films, this film is packed full of action, comedy and drama with amazing twists that you would never guess.
3. Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle/Escape from Guantanamo Bay
Directors: Danny Leiner / John Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg
Written by: Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg
Starring: John Cho and Kal Penn
Rather than having to decide which is best of the two Harold and Kumar films, I decided to bundle them both in at No.3 as I feel they are best when watched back to back.
The First of the two (Go To White Castle) is the story Harold and Kumars mission to find their ultimate munchies. With many twists and turns in their journey, it is an awesome watch with an awesome storyline.
The second film (Escape from Guantanamo Bay) carries on from where the first left off, with their mission to reach Amsterdam and the girl Harold that fell in love with in the first film. As with the first film, all does not go to plan and they get arrested on the flight to Amsterdam and end up in Guantanamo Bay as suspected terrorists. Again it’s a must watch.
2. Pineapple Express
Director: David Gordon Green
Written by: Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg and Judd Apatow
Starring: Seth Rogan, James Franco and Gary Cole
A process server (Seth Rogan) and his dealer (James Franco) witness a murder and are being pursued by the cities biggest drug dealing gang. It’s an action comedy that had me wetting my pants the whole way through. And it introduced us to the cross joint, which if you haven’t tried, is AWESOME!
1. Friday
Directors: F. Gary Gray
Written by: Ice Cube and DJ Pooh
Starring: Ice Cube, Chris Tucker and Nia Long
The entire film takes place in 24 hours on one fateful Friday. Craig and Smokey (Ice Cube and Chris Tucker) are two guys in the ‘hood’, hanging out on the porch smoking and drinking but no one could predict the antics that were to take place that day.
Friday is an amazing comedy based on ‘Hood Life’ that, in my eyes, is a classic and I could watch it any day of the week. If you haven’t already, give it a watch.
