In celebration of the holidaze, Letterboxd is now your budtender. We’ve curated a menu of weed-friendly lists and films for your 4/20 movie needs.

“Diane, it’s 4:20pm.” — Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

First off, what’s your Inherent Vice; the goofy buzz of sativa or the languid dreaminess of indica? Well, either way, Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused is probably one of your 4/20 staples. If you’re looking for an alternative, try tripping out with his underrated lucid dream animation Waking Life, included on Andre’s Stoner Scrapbook list.

But back to that first question: for those inclined towards sativa strains, let the vibrant absurdity of Ingow’s list of films to watch at 2-3am in case you’re drunk and/or on drugs—featuring True Stories, Barbarella and the truly bizarre Southland Tales, among others—wash over you. Chase that down with a selection from Emma’s list of 𝕍𝕀𝕊𝕌𝔸𝕃𝕃𝕐 𝙸𝙽𝚂𝙰𝙽𝙴 movies that promise “hallucinogenic, meditative, harrowing, dreamy, or chaotic visual feast[s].” 

If cerebral is more your thing, and you’re looking for more indica-laced movies that play Mind Games, try Snake’s list of surreal brain teasers or Hungkat’s hypnotic list Life of the Mind, which includes “many wonderful imaginative ideas and creations that came directly from the vision of the psyche.”

We’ve got some potent hybrids too, and you can get Totally Fucked Up with basically anything by Gregg Araki, whose genre-bender Nowhere is featured on Josh’s Essential Queer Stoner Viewing list. We exist we exist we eXistenZ! Obviously David Lynch is a crucial part of the stoner canon, but let’s not forget the other David: Cronenberg. His signature body horror is perfect for the brave blazers who want to lose themselves in gloop, goop and goo of various textures. For more 4/20 horror, check out Gory B Movie's list, too (if you dare!). 

Those averse to risking a Bad Trip, we gotcha: put on a Smiley Face with these stoner chick flicks, courtesy of Alb(b)a. Our dream blunt rotation = the Nine to Five trio of Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton. Girls with weed forever!

Puff puff passing you all the virtual joint before settling down to rewatch Spy Kids.
