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.
After a night of partying, two friends (Ashton Kutcher, Seann William Scott) can't remember where they parked and must retrace their steps—and save the world—in this 2000 comedy that became an unlikely hit despite terrible reviews. Director Danny Leiner would go on to make another (and better) stoner classic, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.
“An almost chuckle-free mess, so amateurish and lame that the cast often has that embarrassed look you see on dogs given ridiculous haircuts.” —Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
