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.
Brenda Blethyn plays a widow who turns to growing marijuana to raise money after the death of her husband in this 2000 British comedy that also stars Martin Clunes and Craig Ferguson. Clunes would go on to play the same small-town doctor character (albeit with a slightly different name) in the long-running ITV series Doc Martin.
“It has enough humanity to let the humor tickle, and a subject that will evoke memories for anyone who has ever smoked a joint or just said no.” —Ron Dicker, Baltimore Sun
