What are the best movies to watch high?

Any of the old timey Disney epics on acid!

The Big Lebowski

Night of the Hunter.

See pic.

Pink Flamingos

Yellow Submarine

The Doors

The Shining

Xanadu!

Mulholland Drive

BEYOND the Valley of the Dolls

Ken Russell's The Boy Friend is my pick as well!

Also another 1974 film: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Apocalypse Now

Blade Runner

Brazil

[R11] those are too realistic nowadays.

Tommy

True, r12

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, or anything where Marilyn sings.

Fantasia. Saw it on a double bill with Up in Smoke.

Belladonna of Sadness. Caught it on TCM one night while I was high, amazingly weird movie. Highly recommend it.

Another great 70s movie from Japan...even if you aren't high while watching it, you will think you are. It's a trip.

I prefer the classic original way of doing it . . .

Any Cheech & Chong movie

"The American Friend" by Wim Wenders is my #1 film to watch high. Dennis Hopper, Bruno Ganz, based on a Patricia Highsmith novel

Pretty much any movie by Ken Russell or Terry Gilliam

All of them.

Beaches

The Room.

Labyrinth. Though to be fair, it's one of the best movies to watch under any circumstances.

The Wizard of Oz while listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.

The Matrix

Book Club (2018)!

Not enough drugs in the world to watch that r29.

Little Shop of Horrors (the musical)

Donnie Darko will fuck you up if you watch it high

Speed Racer

R33 I saw Speed Racer high on the big screen and it kicked the shit. Utterly spectacular. The color ALONE is worth it. Wowza.

R34 I have a feeling it would be a different story with acid involved.

The last time I was smoking pot a lot. YEARS ago. There was a sort of documentary movie based on the book of a man who lost his sight in an NYC mugging in the 70s and he'd traveled the world (after he lost his sight)...it was all sorts of imagery with his real voice narrating and used to run on one of the movie channels all the time.

The very stoned me was completely transfixed by it.

Gimme Shelter

I watched Mulholland Drive stoned out of my mind once, and it made 100% perfect sense to me during that viewing. I had never fully made sense of it prior while watching it completely unaltered. It really changed my perception of the whole movie.

R37 really?

Yea, try it sometime.

Any Miyazaki/Gaiman movie like Howl's Moving Castle.

Time Bandits.

Diane Keaton's documentary "Heaven". It's a trip.

Spider Man: Into the Spider-Verse is very trippy.

Doctor Strange

Jill Learns About Periods

R44 now if only they could make a decent live action version.

Circuit

Dr. Strangelove, R45? I agree it's delicious, straight up or loaded.

Oy! Wrong link! Circuit:

In the genre of R46's suggestion, I have actually watched 'Sex for Trainables' high. I just wish MST3K had taken it on.

The Philadelphia Experiment

Another vote for The Matrix (it's awesome when you're loaded. Straight, not so much)

Allegro non troppo

I didn’t realize “Seven Samurai” was a comedy until I watched it stoned.

Psycho Beach Party

Back in the day when I dropped acid on a regular basis, my FWB and I would watch movies on cable. Our favorites to watch while high were Altered States and Elephant Man. Then we would fuck. Ah, those were the days...

[Quote] Another vote for The Matrix (it's awesome when you're loaded. Straight, not so much)

The first Matrix is great. The other 2.....not so much 😕

The original Disney "Fantasia" owns this thread.

You all are slipping.

Duck Soup. I never thought it was funny until I watched it stoned one night and laughed my ass off.

All movies are better high.

If you drink and smoke along with the characters while watching Absolutely Fabulous episodes, they're ridiculousness seems perfectly logical.

2001

Romi and Michele's High School Reunion

Thread closed.

I watched Moulin Rouge high. I recommend doing so.

any bollywood or busby berkeley

Moulin Rouge is very Bollywood.

Talking Heads' "Stop Making Sense"

Kung Pow! Enter the Fist

R69 oldie but a goodie.

Lair of the White Worm.

Any John Waters movie.

R46 may actually win this competition. Never would I ever have thought of Jill and her periods. Good suggestion.

I will go with Ken Russell's version of Tchaikovsky's life, "The Music Lovers."

I was about to write Jill and Sissy's pizza bread but you bitches beat me to it

Star!

I watched “The Neverending Story” stoned last week. Haven’t seen it in over 30 years. I was mesmerized.

2001 Space Odyssey I sat in the front row stoned it was amazing.

another ken russell, "the devils"

anyone called "reefer madness'?

The Queen

A Clockwork Orange

Alice, Eraserhead, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Akira, The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, Nosferatu

Any movie with Carmen Miranda.

I'd recommend "The Gang's All Here."

Requiem for a Dream. It might make you give up whatever you're high on afterward though.

The Apple

Chicago

Gothic Melodrama - like What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, Sunset Boulevard, Douglas Sirk and Nick Ray movies, Film Noir, early gangster movies, 50s sci-fi.

The first filming of Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting" with Claire Bloom and Julie Harris.

Hitchcock's "Vertigo" - it will finally make sense.

"Altered States"

A couple of Pressburger-Powell entries: "A Matter of Life and Death" and "Black Narcissus."

After all, why not enhance terror, too?

I'd suggest "Animal House" but I don't think it can be improved upon.

"Victor/Victoria"

"Some Like it Hot" (for R15)

"The Belles of St. Trinians"

Any and all David Lynch. The Twin Peaks pilot is especially cool. (And the 7th episode of Twin Peaks: The Return will blow your mind.)

FUNNY GIRL

Babs on acid. What could be better?

Koyaanisqatsi (Life Out of Balance) - a visually fascinating documentary about nature and the modern world

"Carnival of Souls"

"Aliens"

"Godzilla Meets Mothra" (much enhanced if you do NOT speak Japanese_
