With Pineapple Express already well on its way to becoming this generation's Up in Smoke, it got us thinking about the best stoner movies of all time. Our 10 favorites are below, but burnouts beware: For obvious reasons, our list is comprised of the best movies about stoners, not necessarily for stoners.

10. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
Token toker: Jason “Jay” Derrid (Jason Mewes)

JASBSB may have been hit-or-miss in theaters, but viewed at home, where you’re free to be a little, um, looser, it all makes sense--even the scatological stuff. And really, it’s hard to find too much fault with a movie that casts Mark Hamill as a character named C**k-Knocker.
Killer line, man: “Affleck, you the BOMB in Phantoms, yo!” –Jay
