But since that day, weed smokers around America have observed the day in various manners. Whether you are in Boulder, Colorado for the celebration and hopes of the legalization of marijuana or at home, we expect a movie or two to be watched today. So, in honor of the holiday, Killer Film smokes out their Top 10 Stoner Movies. Sit back, roll one up, and enjoy.

10 -The Union: The Business Behind Getting High

This 2007 documentary is a pivotal one in the hopes of legalization marijuana for most people, as it explores the growing and selling of it in Canada, through interviews, history, and facts. Not only is it a great way to start your day, but a timely topic for those in Colorado to talk about. A must watch.

9 -How High

You can’t have weed without Method Man and Redman, two of hip-hop’s biggest stoners. A couple of underachievers, who smoke pot all day, actually overachieve and get accepted into Harvard University. And you all thought, smoking pot made people lazy. Ha.

8 -Grandma’s Boy

Here’s an example of box office failure and DVD success. While not my personal favorite stoner comedy, it’s risen in the community due to its goofy one-liners that are often quoted and the prerequisites of any stoner: boobs, pot, and video games.

7 -Uh…hang on man, I’m rolling one up….what number are we on?

Oh, right, number 6:

6 – Pineapple Express

This oddball comedy features a brilliant opening montage of the earliest examples of government testing of pot effects in black and white, but also a new definitive stoner performance from James Franco. Trippy, funny, and certain to rise in the ranks in years to come.

5 -Half Baked

Does anyone play a burnout better than Jim Breuer? The cult comedy was a big success State-wide, and has become a stoner favorite. The entire film has Dave Chappelle battling the dilemma of continuing to smoke weed or be with his girl Mary Jane. It’s not an easy task, but what’s a smoker to do?

4 -Friday

“I know you don’t smoke weed, I know this; but I’m gonna get you high today, ’cause it’s Friday; you ain’t got no job… and you ain’t got shit to do.” If anything, Friday could be the definitive weed smoker’s film, but as it stands it has actually transcended that niche genre and has found mainstream success, not only from non-weed smokers who enjoy the comedy, but critical and musically. What rapper doesn’t quote: “Puff puff, give. Puff puff, give. You f-ckin’ up the rotation.” A classic.

3 -Pink Floyd: The Wall

Perhaps this 1982 musical film based on the immortal classic album of the same name from Pink Floyd isn’t a typical stoner film in the traditional sense, but it’s perfect for a day like today. Why? The trippy imagery for one and two, every stoner worth his joint knows that Pink’s music is a transcendental experience when stoned. If you want something to trip out too, look no further.

2 -Dazed and Confused

This classic coming-of-age story might not be fully about pot, but the backdrop of the 1970′s was pot. The film incorporates in much like it was for the generation of the 1970′s as weed wasn’t anything more than apart of the culture. Featuring a great soundtrack, solid performances, and a title reference to a great Led Zeppelin song, what more can you want?

1 – Up in Smoke

Sorry to sound cliched, but this is the best stoner comedy around. Cheech and Chong are the most iconic stoner ever, something that has not only become a stoner movie benchmark, but pop culture acceptance. Whether they are taking a crap load of acid, or smoking the biggest joint you have ever seen, or accidentally knocking over Ajax into a girl’s plate of coke, Up in Smoke is as timeless and American as apple pie, dude.

Special thanks to long-time Killer Film reader George Strausbaugh who submitted this list as a suggestion for us to do. Feel free to email us with other Top 10 ideas, who knows, maybe we’ll do yours! Also, what are you favorite stoner movies? Comment below!

Of note, is that they both confirmed this film to the 1978 classic stoner comedy, arguably their best comedy. Take it with a grain of salt, very rumor-worthy, but it’s a cool announcement regardless. More on this if it develops further.

Point Break is a movie about agent Johnny Utah, an FBI agent, going undercover to find suspected bank robbery gang The Ex-Presidents in a surf group. Stellar stuff for a movie.

So, by Reno 911!, I guess they really meant creative team Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant,  responsible for both Night at the Museums. Aziz Ansari and Rob Huebel of the troupe Human Giant are, as usual, generally unfunny in this little bit. Now, maybe because I’m not a huge fan of Point Break to begin with, but this Cinemash didn’t really capture the best qualities of either the actors mashing the scene, or the movie itself. In comparison to the other two Cinemash clips that are out, this is by far the weakest. I mean, they do a great job of capturing how terribly Keanu Reeves acts, but the humor in it is very lacking.

Considering how great the Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt cinemash of Sid and Nancy and the Cheech and Chong cinemash of Tron were, the third installment of Cinemash was suprisingly underwhelming. But next week brings Channing Tatum and Charlyne Yi breaking into Dirty Dancing.

* – Reno 911! is a derivative of the notorious The State troupe.

Ok, maybe it’s not a normal conversation, and it’s definitely not expected of the two – Well, unless you’re Kevin Smith – but it’s got Tron in it! Next week promises Reno 911! and Human Giant give the Cinemash treatment to Point Break.

This little project has gotten pretty neat. Hopefully the cats at Mean Magazine can keep this going for a little bit.

This particular scene suggestion comes from the upcoming 500 Days of Summer, wherein Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt have a conversation comparing the two to the famous couple.

Hopefully these will keep coming and will continue to be awesome. Next week’s clip promises to be Cheech and Chong mashing a scene from Tron and in the future Milo Ventimiglia cinemashing Oldboy, so it looks pretty promising. Fox Searchlight brings  up-and-comer Marc Webb’s 500 Days of Summer to theaters everywhere starting on July 17th.
