Stoners Pick the Best Stoner Movies
Posted by DaySavers Team on Feb 19th 2026
If you’ve ever spent 30 baked minutes scrolling for the perfect stoner movie and still end up putting on Pineapple Express again, have we got a gift for you!
The DaySavers guide to the best stoner movies of all time was creates by surveying real stoners who know a thing or two about viewing cinema on cloud 9. We asked our community which films hit hardest and the stoners have spoken.
This ain’t some stuffy movie critic’s list - it’s a crowdsourced cache of film for red-eyed movie nights.
You’ll find all the essentials right here. Stoner classics like Half Baked, Friday, The Big Lebowski and How High; trippy animations like Spirited Away and Waking Life; mind-melters such as Inception, Interstellar and The Matrix; plus the deep-cut cult favorites from Super Troopers to Evil Bong and Enter the Void.
And we’ve packed in everything you need to make a quick decision, so you can pick your next flic faster than Harold & Kumar get sidetracked on the way to White Castle.
Looking for goofy stoner comedies, trippy sci-fi or “I can’t tell if this is genius or terrible” oddities? We’ve got ‘em.
DaySavers is all about making sessions better, so we paired our love for pre-rolls with the ultimate list of movies for stoners, by stoners. Oh, we also added a fat stack of honorable mentions as chosen by the good people of the inter-web.
So spark up, settle in and start scrolling. Your new favorite high movie might be hiding just past the Dude, the Donnie or that one weird cult flick your friend won’t shut up about.
