Are Cheech & Chong the best of the best, or have newcomers like Half Baked and How High knocked the kings off their throne?

This subject is just too close to people’s hearts, and I’m just not ready to jump in with my own Top 10 Stoner Movies of all time.

Instead, we’ve decided to twist the script and bring you what is sure to be just as hotly a debated topic – The Top 10 Stoner Moments in Movies.

First, the ground rules – these moments don’t necessarily need to be pure comedy or come from a ‘Stoner Movie’ so to speak. Instead, they just need to involve marijuana usage and its accompanying subject matter.

So, what better way then to kick start this monumental debate than on 4/20? Let the game begin!

#10Bong Water: Forrest Dwellers
Starting off the Top 10 we have Jack Black doing what he does best – playing the guitar, singing and being high.

Just being in the movie Bong Water already gives this scene a boost, but it reflects on the NorthWestern culture blazing out in the woods and going for an adventure.

To see the rest of the Top 10 Stoner Moments in Movies, read on…

#9How High: The Snooze & Lose
How High is a stoner movie that grows on you. Out of all the best moments to choose, why not the closest thing to a recorded casualty due to smoking? That guy is so happy to survive the fall, you can see the joy on his face. Too bad about the RV…

Bonus: After the 2nd clip (which is the one we’re talking about), check out the next scene from this video. “It’s blunt-o-clock!”

#8Scarie Movie 2: When Weed Smokes You
Ever wonder what it feels like to get rolled up and smoked?

Marlon Wayans knows, and he’s here to talk about it. This scene makes the cut just for giving weed so much personality.

#7Kids: The Park Blunt
Unfortunately, the best vid we could find for this scene only catches the tail end of what makes it so great, then jumps into the iconic beatdown sequence.

The cinematography when the blunt is broken, licked, rolled and smoked was the first of its kind and makes it worth of Top 10 status.

#6Harold & Kumar: New Jersey Driving
It’s never good to be a paranoid pothead and Harold proves this theory right.

On top of achieving the perfect representation of an asshole New Jersey driver, this movie portrays the crappy NJ toll system true to form. Who knew there could be so much non-fiction in a stoner flick?

#5Half Baked: Killer’s Adventure
Mr. Nice Guy carries the good stuff, and who says that only humans like to get high?

Before his tragic end, Killer goes on a journey that gives him a lifetime’s worth of memories.

Kill Killer. Kill.

#4Super Troopers: The Intro
Probably one of the funniest opening scenes in any movie, ever.

I laughed so hard the first time I saw this I almost threw up and it’s been a personal favorite ever since. That’s all I have to say about that.

#3Friday: I’m Gonna Get You High
One of the most awesome stoner moments in all of movie history.

Coincidence that this post is also dropping on Friday and I ain’t got shit to do? I don’t think so.

#2Big Lebowski: Followed
There was a seriously heated battle between certain members of our staff on whether to make this the #1 clip or not. Obviously, it got squeezed to the close 2nd spot.

If you’ve ever tried to ash out a closed window, this scene brings back familiar and painful memories.

On the other hand, if you’re watching this happen to someone else, it’s fucking hilarious.

And finally…

#1Cheech and Chong: Up in Smoke
Cheech and Chong started this movement and they stay on top.

Let’s get chinese-eyed and watch all the phases of a heavy stoner run their course. Bad driving, giant joints, acid, police and … Labrador shit? Priceless.

Honorable Mentions:

  • Blow: the ‘We Can Sell Marijuana!’ scene
  • The Beach: the ‘Field of Dreams’ scene
  • Tommy Boy: the ‘Bong Rip to Table Slam’ scene

That’s the list everyone.

Don’t agree?

Put your money where you mouth is and let’s see your Top 10 Stoner Moments in Movies.
