some movies are even better when you're
under the influence of a little somethin
some misfits are more we'd welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we're counting
down our picks for the top 10 movies to
watch while high for this list we're
choosing films that are even better
viewing experiences when you're high
because they're overly trippy hilarious
or just plain fun we're not necessarily
choosing stoner comedy specifically
since they would seem too obvious and we
already have a list for that instead
we're focusing more on films that aren't
meant to be watched while you've used
certain substances not that we condone
that kind of thing please how can I make
you trust me number 10 heavy metal
aren't we fierce gods castrate him while
this movie may be animated it is
certainly not for children this sci-fi
flick serves as an animated anthology of
different fantastical stories complete
with graphic violence and a great deal
of sexuality care for each other we have
highly becoming a cult attraction
through midnight showings we have no
doubt that the audience members had a
little help from some chemicals to get
through heavy metal as the film is rife
with stylish animation and some
mind-boggling scenarios
[Music]
while it is artistic on its own merits
being high while viewing it will
undoubtedly increase the pleasure
tenfold as the scenarios become only
that much more fantastical and scary
[Music]
number nine pineapple Express what's it
called pineapple express hey we didn't
say there would be no stoner comedies on
this list and this one definitely
deserves its spot you have the easiest
job on earth you do smoke weed all day a
film about two potheads played by Steph
Rogen and James Franco as they go on the
run from a drug dealer pineapple Express
is ripe with hilarious circumstances and
even some intense action sequences what
makes viewing this movie better while hi
are the interactions between the two
co-stars as they get themselves into
progressively worse situations I did it
on three one one two three go meanwhile
the action sequences differentiated from
other stoner comedies and they are a
welcomed addition to an already amazing
movie going experience never ate
labyrinth do you know where the Georgia
labyrinth is this film directed by Jim
Henson who was also behind the Dark
Crystal stars David Bowie in the lead
role and that's about all you need to
know forget about the baby
the plot revolves around a teenager who
has to rescue her brother from an
otherworldly maze however most of the
supporting characters playing alongside
Bowie are puppets which adds a freaky
and surreal tone to the film just one
look at jerath and The Creature Shop
characters and you know that you will be
in for a trippy time no thank you but I
have to solve this labyrinth we can only
imagine what fans of this movie were
smoking what's sad is number seven Big
Trouble in Little China yeah
this 1986 action film sees Kurt Russell
helping his friend rescue his fiancee
from bandits in Chinatown feel pretty
good not scared at all I just feel kind
of feel kind of invisible it sounds all
well and good until they delve
underground and experience a mysterious
world filled with magic and sorcery
experiencing this movie hi would be like
you're actually visiting another world
with the characters one in which
everything goes from normal to surreal
and becomes very confusing and very
trippy at the same time don't tell me
receiving mixed reviews the action flick
like many others on this list has since
gained a strong cult following number
six
The Matrix I don't come food showing
when released in 1999 this movie
revolutionized Hollywood with a
stylistic direction and action scenes
set in a world where machines use humans
as battery power the freed humans are
able to manipulate the matrix and defy
the laws of reality leading to some
intense and fantastical sequences
including ones in which people are able
to dodge bullets and run on walls
[Music]
watching this high would not only make
you appreciate those action sequences so
much more but as the nature of the plot
itself leads to some very interesting
discussions about life meaning and
philosophy you'd probably be even more
inclined to explore these big questions
you take the blue pill the story ends
you wake up in your bed and believe
whatever you want to believe number five
Alice in Wonderland well my name is
Alice and I'm following a bike that it's
this 1951 Disney film is a classic among
drug users as the animated adventure
follows heroine Alice as she falls down
a rabbit hole and enters another world
[Music]
filled with some very trippy moments
courtesy of the fantastical nature of
the story and it's characters the
fantasy comedy is likely very popular
among LSD users especially as it's bound
to provide an experience like no other
while most Disney films could be fun to
watch hi this one simply towers above
the rest and it's easy to see why
executive well it's precisely number
four Team America world police in this
Matt Stone and Trey Parker movie an
American anti-terrorism unit tries to
protect the world from Kim Jong Il's
terrorism plot congratulations team
America you have stop and the entire
movie is played out with puppets super
marionettes to be exact
[Music]
what makes this satirical action comedy
amazing while high is a combination of
the wacky humor the biting satire and
the act of watching puppets use rocket
launchers have sex and just generally
move around awkwardly
[Music]
it's a hilarious movie made even more
hilarious by certain substances and by
watching the situation these marionettes
get into terrorize this number three
Dazed and Confused you got a joint it'd
be a lot cooler if you did this
coming-of-age comedy starring now
big-name actors revolves around a group
of high school students on the last day
of school like pineapple express what
makes this movie better hi is simply
that you can be high with the characters
as they smoke with hilarious and often
touching results you've got to keep
living man Li VI n even just seeing
these famous actors during their younger
days may be enough to trip you out
George Toth we absolutely George don't
we do you kidding me man while not
necessarily made for stoners Dazed and
Confused is a high school movie about
smoking weed and really who doesn't
remember those days that's what I love
about these high school girls man I get
older they stay the same a number two
The Big Lebowski
nobody calls me Lebowski you got the
wrong man
this Coen Brothers classic about a
STONER who gets caught up in a criminal
underworld after asking for compensation
for his peed on rug is also a classic in
stoner culture their rock really tied
the room together did it not the dude is
such a classic stoner character so of
course being high will make you love and
appreciate him that much more my
career's slowed down a little lately
what do you do
the recreation usual drive around
the funny scenes also become even more
hilarious and the drugged-out sequence
adds just the right amount of trippy
alongside the hilarity to make this
crime comedy a great time
[Music]
before we light up our top pick here are
some honorable mentions we had two bags
of grass 75 pellets of mescaline five
sheets of high-powered blotter acid a
salt shaker half full of cocaine a whole
galaxy of multicolored uppers downers
screamers lappers I hope I don't kick
the bucket very finish all of my most
secret inventions are cooking and
simmering in here old slugworth would
give us false teeth to get inside for
just 5 minutes 1 2001 a Space Odyssey
[Music]
what better movie to watch hi than
Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi masterpiece
when humanity finds an artificial object
in space they set out on a quest to see
what it is
as Kubrick is a master of visual
storytelling this film is a real treat
to watch when stoned simply due to its
vibrant and surreal visuals
[Music]
the space setting definitely helps add
to the surreal aspect and the questions
2001 leaves you with will have you
pondering what it all means for a long
time well I'm sure you're right now even
after the high wears off
