Top 10 Movies to Watch While High
Top 10 High School Fights In Movies
Some movies are even better when you’re under the influence of a little something something. Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we’re counting down our picks for the top 10 movies to watch while high. For this list, we’re choosing movies that are even better viewing experiences when you’re high, because they’re overly trippy, hilarious, or just plain fun. We’re not necessarily choosing stoner comedies specifically, since they would seem too obvious, and we already have a list for that! Instead, we’re focusing more on films that aren’t meant to be watched while you’ve used certain substances. Not that we condone that kinda thing.
#10: “Heavy Metal” (1981)
While this movie may be animated, it is certainly not for children. This sci-fi flick serves as an animated anthology of different fantastical stories, complete with graphic violence and a great deal of sexuality. Becoming a cult attraction through midnight showings, we have no doubt that the audience members had a little help from some chemicals to get through “Heavy Metal”, as the film is rife with stylish animation and some mind-boggling scenarios. While it is artistic on its own terms, being high while viewing it will undoubtedly increase the pleasure tenfold as the scenarios become only that much more fantastical. And scary.
#9: “Pineapple Express” (2008)
Hey, we didn’t say there would be NO stoner comedies on this list, and this one definitely deserves its spot. A film about two potheads played by Seth Rogen and James Franco as they go on the run from a drug dealer, “Pineapple Express” is rife with hilarious circumstances, and even some intense action sequences. What makes viewing this movie better while high are the interactions between the two co-stars as they get themselves into progressively worse situations. Meanwhile, the action sequences differentiate it from other stoner comedies, and they are a welcome addition to an already amazing movie-going experience.
#8: “Labyrinth” (1986)
This film, directed by Jim Henson - who was also behind “The Dark Crystal,” another fantasy flick that deserves a mention here - stars David Bowie in the lead role…and that’s about all you need to know. The plot revolves around a teenager who has to rescue her brother from an otherworldly maze. However, most of the supporting characters playing alongside Bowie are puppets, which add a freaky and surreal tone to the film. Just one look at Jareth and the Creature Shop characters and you know that you will be in for a trippy time. We can only imagine what fans of this movie were smoking.
#7: “Big Trouble in Little China” (1986)
Top 10 Movies Teachers Show in High School
This 1986 action film sees Kurt Russell helping his friend rescue his fiancée from bandits in Chinatown. It sounds all well and good until they delve underground and experience a mysterious world filled with magic and sorcery. Experiencing this movie high would be like you’re actually visiting another world with the characters, one in which everything goes from normal to surreal and becomes very confusing, and very trippy at the same time. Receiving mixed reviews, the action flick, like many others on this list, has since gained a strong cult following.
#6: “The Matrix” (1999)
Top 10 Things We Want to See in the Upcoming Matrix Movies
When released in 1999, this movie revolutionized Hollywood with its stylistic direction and action scenes. Set in a world where machines use humans as battery power, the “freed” humans are able to manipulate the Matrix and defy the laws of reality, leading to some intense and fantastical sequences, including ones in which people are able to dodge bullets and run on walls. Watching this high would not only make you appreciate those action sequences so much more, but as the nature of the plot itself leads to some very interesting discussions about life, meaning, and philosophy, you’d probably be even more inclined to explore these big questions.
#5: “Alice in Wonderland” (1951)
Top 10 Alice In Wonderland Trivia
This 1951 Disney film is a classic among drug users, as the animated adventure follows heroine Alice as she falls down a rabbit hole and enters another world. Filled with some very trippy moments courtesy of the fantastical nature of the story and its characters, the fantasy comedy is likely very popular among LSD users especially, as it’s bound to provide an experience like no other. While most Disney films could be fun to watch high, this one simply towers above the rest and it’s easy to see why.
#4: “Team America: World Police” (2004)
Top 10 Super Villain Team-Ups
In this Matt Stone and Trey Parker movie, an American anti-terrorism unit tries to protect the world from Kim Jong-il’s terrorism plot. Oh, and the entire movie is played out with puppets –“supermarionettes” to be exact. What makes this satirical action comedy amazing while high is a combination of the wacky humor, the biting satire, and the act of watching puppets use rocket launchers, have sex, and just generally move around awkwardly. It’s a hilarious movie made even more hilarious by certain substances and by watching the situations these marionettes get into.
#3: “Dazed and Confused” (1993)
This coming-of-age comedy, starring now big name actors, revolves around a group of high school students on the last day of school. Like “Pineapple Express,” what makes this movie better high is simply that you can be high with the characters, as they smoke with hilarious and often touching results. Even just seeing these famous actors during their younger days may be enough to trip you out. While not necessarily made for stoners, “Dazed and Confused” is a high school movie about smoking weed, and really, who doesn’t remember those days?
#2: “The Big Lebowski” (1998)
Top 20 Incredible Movies You'll Probably Never Watch Again
This Coen Brothers’ classic about a stoner who gets caught up in a criminal underworld after asking for compensation for his peed-on rug, is also a classic in stoner culture. The Dude is such a classic stoner character, so of course being high will make you love and appreciate him that much more. The funny scenes also become even more hilarious, and the drugged-out sequence adds just the right amount of trippy alongside the hilarity to make this crime comedy a great time. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. - “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” (1998) - “Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie” (2012) - “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” (1971) - “The Wizard of Oz” (1939) - “Pink Floyd - The Wall” (1982) - “Fantasia” (1940)
#1: “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968)
What better movie to watch high than Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi masterpiece? When humanity finds an artificial object in space, they set out on a quest to see what it is. As Kubrick is a master of visual storytelling, this film is a real treat to watch when stoned simply due to its vibrant and surreal visuals. The space setting definitely helps add to the surreal aspect, and the questions “2001” leaves you with will have you pondering what it all means for a long time, even after the high wears off. Do you agree with our list? What movies do you think are best when viewed high? For more trippy videos published every day, be sure to subscribe to WatchMojo.com.
