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.
Dennis Hopper directed this 1969 road trip classic in which he stars alongside Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson. Drug use (and dealing) plays a part in the story, and it has been widely reported that the substances seen on screen were no mere props.
“Not only emblematic of independent American cinema, but, released in 1969, is the definitive statement on the death of the 60s.” —Christopher Machell, CineVue
