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.
Celebrities like James Franco, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Jay Baruchel, and Craig Robinson play versions of themselves as they gather at a party during a global apocalyptic event in a 2013 comedy written and directed by Rogen with his frequent partner, Evan Goldberg. At one point in the film, several members of the party get high and decide to film a sequel to the aforementioned Pineapple Express.
“The film is uneven and about 15 minutes too long. But when it's funny, it's hilarious.” —Claudia Puig, USA Today
