Stoner Movies, Ranked by Metascore
How high do the scores go? In the gallery above, we rank 60* stoner films from cinema history—including the most infamous examples of the genre as well as more obscure titles. (The very concept of "stoner film" is surprisingly malleable, and while we tried to include films that are oft-mentioned as belonging to the genre, you'll likely disagree with a few inclusions or omissions. Also note that we intentionally omitted documentaries in order to keep the list from being unbearably long.)
All of the movies are ranked by Metascore, indicating how much critics liked each film, beginning with the worst-reviewed and building up to the most-acclaimed.
* Our original goal of 420 proved to be too ambitious.
This 2006 Adam Sandler-produced comedy about a 30-something videogame tester (Allen Covert) who moves in with his grandmother after being evicted features plenty of cannabis-related "highlights," including a plot twist in which three seniors (Doris Roberts, Shirley Jones, Shirley Knight) mistake the drug for tea. Nick Swardson and Linda Cardellini also star.
“Lacking so much as a shred of wit and crammed with more product placements than jokes, this unendurable stoner comedy clearly disproves the movie-formula wisdom that two guys, one Xbox and a 2-foot-long bong add up to something funny.” —Ken Fox, TV Guide
