-> ''"I don't need drugs to enjoy this! Just to enhance it!"''
-->-- '''Otto,''' ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons,'' "'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky"
Also known as THCTheater. A movie about TheStoner, made ''for'' the Stoner. Possibly made '''by''' Stoners, but [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs that can't be proven]], [[WordOfGod unless the creators acknowledge that it was]].
Tend not to be especially plot-driven, and often contain long tangents relating to pop culture. Expect 90% of the humor to be either puerile jokes or humor about doing incredibly stupid stuff thanks to being intoxicated. Basically, SliceOfLife genre for stoners.

!!Examples:
[[index]]
* ''The Beach Girls''
* ''Film/TheBigLebowski'', although fans are split over whether or not it's actually funnier when the viewer ''isn't'' baked.
* The ''CheechAndChong'' series, the TropeMaker
** ''Film/UpInSmoke''
** ''Film/CheechAndChongsNextMovie''
** ''Film/NiceDreams''
** ''Film/StillSmokin''
* ''Film/DazedAndConfused'' was mismarketed as one of these. The actual product is a coming of age film and only one character is actually a stoner.
* ''Film/DudeWheresMyCar''
* ''Film/EasyRider'': the Sixties version, back when pot was counterculture.
* ''Film/FearAndLoathingInLasVegas'' is about the drug culture of the late 60s and early 70s. Director Gilliam mixes in a dash of modern stoner humor into the adaptation.
* The ''Film/{{Friday}}'' series
* ''WesternAnimation/FritzTheCat''
** ''WesternAnimation/TheNineLivesOfFritzTheCat''
* ''Grandma's Boy''
* ''Grass'', though this one is documentary where everything else on this list tells a fictional story. Woody Harrelson provides the narration.
* ''Film/HalfBaked''
* The Harold & Kumar series:
** ''Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhiteCastle''
** ''Film/HaroldAndKumarEscapeFromGuantanamoBay''
** ''Film/AVeryHaroldAndKumar3DChristmas''
* ''Film/{{Help}}'': Music/TheBeatles were stoned off their asses during the making of it, and the ''non sequiturs'' and other ridiculous bits are far more entertaining.
* ''Film/HowHigh''
* ''TheImmaculateConceptionOfLittleDizzle''
* ''Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'' — the other Kevin Smith movies have drug influence, but are much less focused on it.
* ''Film/JMenForever'' (1979). The villainous Lightning Bug schemes to conquer the Earth with SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll, and only the J-Men (an elite team of [[strike:tight-assed straights]] straight-jawed men-in-tights) can stop him with a combination of [[GagDub re-dubbed]] Republic FilmSerial heroes, schmaltzy music, and an indiscriminate bombing campaign of all suspected marijuana stashes. Has a vast number of Stoner jokes, including the motto of the J-Men which is "[[CanisLatinicus U Cannabis Smokem]]".
* ''Killer Bud''
* ''Film/KnockedUp'', the [[TwoLinesNoWaiting b-plot]] is Stoner comedy all the way.
* ''Film/LivingWill'', in addition to being a romantic comedy, has plenty of stoner humor.
* ''Film/PineappleExpress''. Two stoners get mixed up in an action film. The title refers to a strain of weed.
* ''Film/ReeferMadness'' (2005), the classic [[BMovie exploitation film]] remade as an over-the-top musical comedy.
* ''Saving Grace'', possibly the most intelligent stoner movie ever made.
* ''Film/SuperTroopers'', though ironically the first scene features the heroes tormenting and busting some potheads for possession.
* ''Film/TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny'' provides the page image. The film is noticeably more pot-centric than the group's previous specials. TenaciousD themselves joke in the commentary that the film's message is that weed is friendship.
* ''SmileyFace'', stars Anna Faris as a stoner who had a few too many marijuana cupcakes
* ''The Stoned Age''
* ''Super High Me''.
* ''Film/WithnailAndI''.
* ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'', a psychedelic example from 1968.
* ''Film/YourHighness'', which is a textbook stoner flick crossed with ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.
* ''Film/{{Zardoz}}''. John Boorman himself was high when he made the thing and it ''shows.''
