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 first feature film written and directed by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, this mostly live-action 2012 comedy stars Mark Wahlberg as a man torn between his girlfriend (Mila Kunis) and his childhood teddy bear who has come to life as a pot-smoking, foul-mouthed womanizer (and is voiced by MacFarlane himself). Ted was a massive hit (grossing well over $500 million worldwide) and received a sequel three years later.
