Well of those Brakhage would certainly work, but what narrative films could enhance the mood?

2001?
The Wall?

What else?

David’s choices are very good but watching most of those films stoned would drive me to some sort of cannabis psychosis.

I think any of these would make much more sense while under the influence:

The Manitou (1978)
The Visitor (1979)
Roseland (1971)
Looker (1981)
Conquest (1983)

You guys watch movies when you’re stoned?

The mark of a true cinephile.

Geez.

It is there an Israeli film titled Losers! ?
Only hope it is as good as Lemon Popsicle 3.

Fellini – Juliet of the spirits. Any Fellini movie really.

Harold and Kumar, dumb and dumber, and stuff like that.

Christo​fer Pierson

I trust you Brentos. I bet Jerry Lewis movies are good in that state as well.

My personal favorites:

Walkabout and The Man Who Fell to Earth

Or was it that I felt stoned after watching them…?

I don´t know why it makes sense to go clubbing stoned, and doesn’t make sense watch a movie in your place stoned.

^one is a social thing and one is not.

I guess it’s how you feel when you’re stoned. :)

agree with Juliet Of The Spirits. that music is almost disturbing when baked :-0

2001 would be good at a theatre i guess, not at home.

When i used to smoke weed back in the day, i preferred to watch comedies with friends. e.g Cheech and Chong(Up In Smoke, Nice Dreams, Next Movie), Half Baked, How High, Dazed and Confused etc etc. just that kind of thing.

Pink Floyd’s The Wall
Tommy
Crimes Of Passion
Adaptation

I don’t get stoned so I can’t offer specific advantages of one film over another. But, after watching it again last night, I feel like Judge Dredd would be a good pick.
