    I am utterly horrified by the lack of "Videodrome" on this list. And by "Videodrome," come to think of it.

    Various observations:


    I've seen most of these straight.


    Dio era Sabbath is underrated.


    Dark City should be on the list.

    I dont get stonned myself..I just get very drunk, its almost the same, but I get a pounding hangover the next day!!!


    Best films for me whilst drunk


    All the Matrix Trilogy (especially the Archtects speech at the end of the second..ming blower)

    Shaun of the Dead

    Sin City

    Brazil..oh good god, its cruel to me even when im sober...

    Dog Soldiers

    Watership Down...Freaky as hell!

    Planet of the Apes...tee hee hee..Monkeys in suits

    Pitch Black

    Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy..confused me

    Gremlins/The golden child/wargames..Anything from the 80's seems awesome-er when your drunk

    Spirited Away...the ghosts shit me up

    Any cool subtitled Asian animation..looks good but it gets to a point where subtitles become a blur!!


    And the best one for me was 'Tremors'..we got really pissed and needed to go to the local 24/7 Tesco near us for more beer....after watching the film, no-one including me would step foot on the grass verge whilst walking there incase we got eaten..we laugh about it now..but 2 fights almost broke out because no-one wanted to die from Graboid attacks!!!!!!!!

    I can attest to the enjoyability of 2001 and I would also suggest Barbarella, particularly if you've never seen it before. It's full of "No way am I seeing what I think I'm seeing" moments.

    I quite enjoyed 'The Fountain' without the aid of psychoactive substances, but I'm willing to bet it's probaby the perfect stoner sci-fi movie around.


    'The Quiet Earth,' 'Videodrome,' and anything featuring David Bowie are also good choices, though I imagine watching Alex Cox's 'Death and the Compass' while high would probably be the cinematic equivalent of dropping brown acid.

    I mean, I guess if you all need illegal substances to enjoy art then thats fine for you, but some of us like to expand our minds without poisoning our bodies.
