Can anyone recommend a pot-themed movie that isn't about a bunch of spaced-out slackers who do nothing but smoke pot? I've seen Half Baked, How High, Dazed & Confused, the Cheech & Chong movies, and lots of others of that kind, and they're fun to watch once in a while, but let's face it, they're pretty stupid and they usually portray people who smoke pot as clued-out bums. I'd really like to see a movie featuring people who smoke up that actually has an ouce of thought to it. Does such a thing exist?

(Sorry if i sound condescending - i don't mean to be...i like to watch fun, stupid movies too, but it just seems like all pot-related movies are like that.)

thanx..

A serious pothead movie?

I don't know about that, man. People only know the stereotypical loser burn-out potheads. A serious pothead movie would most likely confuse people. I only watch comedies myself, so I wouldn't know if there is already one out there. Even if there was, unless it was educational, I wouldn't watch it. Who wants to get stoned then sit down to watch a serious movie? Besides you of course

If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But only if you're serious about adopting the vulture.

Seen BLOW? Not sure if it will look like what you're looking for but it's a great movie to watch anyway. So much MJ!

see grass, its a good documentary on marijuana prohibition.

otherwise I believe you are SOOL cause nobody wants to watch a bunch of people get high and then go out and act like responsible citizens.

At one point in the movie 'the cell' J-lo smokes a joint. But it only happens once and is never mentioned again. I dont imagine a good "thoughful" film will come out with pot as the theme unless it is a documetary. I would like to see one. I wonder what people would say if a movie came out that showed marijuana smokers in a different light.

Pot smoker super heros, Pot smoking action hero, Pot smoking in a drama, Could be intersting.

i cant belive this thread is this big and nobody mentioned "Saving Grace" i havent seen it myself, but i read some critics and its sounds very cool. Its about a old lady that grows weed for medical porpouses its sorta like a drama flick

The Tao of Steve

A totally funny movie starring the dad from Grounded for life (funny ass show on FOX)...anyway, he's a fat stoner underacheiver, but a genius, and uses his own philosophy (the tao of steve) to get chicks. Highly recommended.

here's a link: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0234853

Also, there are a ton of great movies that aren't necessarily about pot, but portray it in an adult, (mostly) responsible light, like:

Annie Hall (Scene where she wants to smoke before sex)
Halloween (Jamie Lee Curtis and friend smoke a J in the car)
The Beach (The whole damn movie is about a weed island)
The Big Chill (A classic smoking scene after a friend's funeral)
GO (great drug culture flick)
American Beauty (Kevin Spacey is awesome in this movie)
Wonder Boys (Michael Douglas as a stoner college professor/writer)
Traffic (another great drug movie)

that's all i can think of at the moment

There are a few movies that don't portray the stoner as an absent-minded loser who wears tie dye (which I wear with pride) including American Beauty, Eyes Wide Shut, Requiem for a Dream, and others. Stereotypes are horrible things to include in any party of life. I try, probably to a fault, to dissolve any stereotypes I may have rolling around in my being. I suggest you all do the same.

Peace.
