Movies about cannabis are a niche genre that all started in the 1960s with Cheech & Chong. Of course, this movie list is more representative of cannabis-related movies rather than a list of bonafide great movies. A common theme with stoner movies is that the story can tend to be an afterthought.
Below is an eclectic list of movies that cater to the cannabis culture. Some are about weed, some might just have a few smoking scenes, and the others are just visually stunning to watch while high.
