21 Jump Street (2012)


































  Two goofy and ever-failing cops are assigned on a secret mission ; they are to infiltrate a high school as students and put a stop to the rise of a new and dangerous drug that has been making its way to the kids...
  All right, you got me. This is too modern to be considered cult but I beg to differ! Given its cult past already (it used to be a series starring Johnny Depp in the days of yore), 21 Jump Street has all it takes to make it as a classic cult stoner comedy and it should as it is one of the few American comedy films that made me laugh recently. Hats off to directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller for that sixpack-making combination. Drugs? Plenty. Boobs? Could be more. Cheesy humor?Duh! Carefree vibes? Count me in!
  It's nice to see Channing Tatum in something else other than his usual cute-face bullshit. OK, it's not that he changed his career with this film but at least he can take some comedy lessons by not-so-fat-anymore Jonah Hill. The addition of Ice Cube elevates the level of the film and so does that of Dave Franco, Rob Riggle,
Brie Larson and a cameo from Johnny Depp as the a cult reference!
Must watch this : roll a fat one and enjoy this film with the dudes. Laugh your ass off during the Phases scene and cool off with that fucker afterwards.

The Beach Girls (1982)


































  Three young girls head to a beach house for vacation. Not losing any chance, they host a big open party where everyone is invited one way or the other. Soon, the party gets wild when a cargo of marijuana gets in the girls' hands and everything gets out of hand and out of their clothes...
  Bud Townsend directs this not-so-classic-American-sex-comedy. On one hand it is yet another comedy with cheap adolescent humor and a lot of boobs but on the other hand you get the feeling that it has just a bit more quality than the rest of its genre. Of course don't expect a twisted plot or anything too smart but the nudity, the feel-good California-in-the-80's mood and your soft rock vibes are there so jump  in!
  Everything in this film is 80's cult and so is the acting. You can see the effort all the actors put into making themselves look and appear funny and it works. Not by talent but for the effort only. Adam Roarke, a legend in 60's biker films, ironically plays the clean-cut uncle of one of the girls. Debra Blee, Val Kline, Jeana Keough and James Daughton are the main protagonists and ,yeah you guessed it, they spend most of their screen time naked,flirting or making out! Cheers!
Must watch this : with all your friends, girls and boys, and lots of cool cocktails right when the summer vacation is about to start. Watch out for interesting party ideas and try to apply them to you your summer adventures. During the film, everyone needs to help everyone hook up!
No need for a trailer as none was found!

Pineapple Express (2008)


































  A process server loses hold of his life when he goes to the right place at the wrong time. Now, he and his drug dealer need to run away from hitmen and corrupt police in order to stay alive out of the ongoing drug war they found themselves into. Of course, all of this is extremely difficult while in the haze of the new strain of pot named Pineapple Express...
  Directed by David Gordon Green and written by non other than Seth Rogen and his buds, this may be the landmark of new-age stoner comedy (at least for me). Benevolent humor with a great dose of THC mixed in it and an air of freshness and cool vibes, this film will put a smile on your face no matter what you have smoked. 
  Seth Rogen, James Franco, Danny McBride, Kevin Corrigan and Craig Robinson are the delinquent team that star here. Young, funny, weirdly motivated and utterly high, they are a promising new hope for the future of the genre. My personal favorite is Craig Robinson; this motherfucker is off the hook. 
Must watch this : with a big ass joint in hand (or plenty of alcohol) and cheap food for the munchies. Gather your bros and blaze one up!

Up In Smoke (1978)


































  Cheech and Chong's first movie and a prelude to a long and high relationship. Two stoners from different social layers of the 70's meet when one of them is hitch-hiking. Their friendship starts almost instantly when one offers a joint to the other and they embark on a weird journey. Getting high together seems to always to get them into trouble whether that is smuggling marijuana in the form of a van (sic) or performing live at a rock contest! A must-see for any stoner or a people who can appreciate an alternative sense of humor.
  Tommy Chong and Lou Adler direct this (one of his 2 films as a director) with Tommy Chong and Cheech Martin writing most of the stuff in this film. What's so special about this movie? It sets the difference between a comedy and a stoner comedy and works as a reference for such movies up until now. The classic exaggeration on the hemp appreciation, the most absurd situations one seems to find himself, the slow tempo everything are only some things that this movie has to offer to the stoner cinema.
  Cheech and Chong, a duo that is even funny without speaking (at least for me). Their high looks and movement is so well-studied and well-performed that they will have you fooled they were actually high (maybe they were). They certainly do the trick and get their message delivered which is just to take things slowly and chill the fuck out!
Must watch this : you will need plenty of beers, pizzas, pot (if it gets you goin') and lots of friends both boys and girls.And of course you will need to chill heavily!
