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.
The long-running Canadian comedy series (which now can be found on Netflix) spawned several feature films, including this 2006 entry, their first. The film follows three residents of a Nova Scotia trailer park, including Ricky (Robb Wells), a grower and frequent consumer of marijuana. It was followed by 2009's Countdown to Liquor Day (which did not get a U.S. release) and 2014's Don't Legalize It, in which the boys fear that the government's plan to legalize marijuana will destroy their own growing operation.
“I'm sure the pot-laced antics of these trashy dudes are, like, totally hilarious on Canadian TV, but they don't translate well to America or the big screen.” —Julia Wallace, Village Voice
