Comments on: Movies and marijuana

Question: Movies and marijuana

billysumday — Thu, 17 Nov 2005 15:46:32 -0800

My, uh, aunt has glaucoma and was recently prescribed medicinal marijuana. Now, she'd like to watch some movies that will blow her mind.

I don't really understand how it works, personally, but she was all like, "some things that I don't enjoy when I'm sober I end up liking a lot when I smoke my medicine." So, askmefiers, if you could please help my aunt out, I'd really appreciate it. What films have you seen under the influence that you loved, or that blew your little minds, but would probably never watch, or even get through, under normal circumstances? Oh, and my aunt also wants everyone to know that "Sahara" totally rocks when she's on her medicine.

Apocalypse Now. She might want to take her heart medicine beforehand, "Never get Outta The Boat"...

Blade Runner was also pretty good.

A movie like Rubin & Ed - with a dream sequence featuring a water-skiing cat, is taylor-made for such explorations. Plus, it's very funny - with Crispin Glover and Howard 'Johnny Fever' Hesseman teaming up in this odd-couple road movie.

As far as trippy visuals with a message, I'd recommend Godfrey Reggio's trilogy series - Powaqqatsi, Koyaanisqatsi and Naqoyqatsi - which you can learn more about here.

I dunno about not enjoying them otherwise, because I can't imagine wanting to watch a movie you wouldn't normally like, but basically, I'm gonna post the highlights of my video collection; they're all kind of trippy.

The Matrix
Repo Man
Brazil
2001
Delicatessen
Harold and Maude
Time Bandits
second on Donnie Darko
Waking Life

I think Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein would both be excellent choices. As would Edward Scissorhands. And of course, the Philip Glass trippiness through animation movie, Koyaanisqatsi.

Then, of course, there are stoner-giggle movies: Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob's movies, Cheech and Chong movies (Up in Smoke, for instance), Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Dazed and Confused.

And more ambitious, your aunt could attempt the "Dark Side of the Rainbow," playing "Dark Side of the Moon" as the soundtrack to "Wizard of Oz, as described below:

This is a great question. Have fun with your aunt and her rigorous program of self-care.

Tarkovsky (USSR) movies are great for the stoned long-attention-span:
Andrei Rublev (the greatest movie ever made, btw)
Stalker
The Mirror
are my favorites

Jodorowsky (Chile) is about as far-out and mind-blowing as the '70's could be:
El Topo
Holy Mountain

Definitely Blade Runner and 2001 (even if your aunt saw them before she developed glaucoma). My, uh, aunt also thoroughly enjoyed From Dusk Till Dawn (funny/scary/weird/all-out good), Event Horizon (incredible art direction/gross/scary/silly), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (empowering tale of living with glaucoma), Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (especially funny to those with glaucoma), Memento, Baraka...as rleamon says, just about every movie is better when you have glaucoma. Or so my aunt says.

The Big Lebowsky is always a good bet.

Another big BIG recommendation for these films. They're totally mindblowing in whatever state you're in. Your aunt might require a few extra doses (or continuous dosing throughout) as those films, as good as they are, are kind of slow paced and might interact negatively with here prescription (read: They're heavy films. You're aunt will have to keep smoking or they'll kill her buzz and she'll be having a nap after the first half hour.)

Back when I used to, um, need a prescription for mary jane, I found Waking Life to be a pretty film to watch until I could operate heavy machinery again.
If I was having a particularly heavy spell and required a larger dose, thus spending more time incapacitated, Barry Lyndon was also an amazing thing to watch.
Fist of Legend, of course, if you're feeling energetic.
Any movie with zombies is a pretty good bet, too. "I'm running this monkey farm, Frankenstein! And I want to know: What the fuck's going on!?"
In another vein, your aunt might also enjoy The Triplets of Belleville. It's a feature length animation that's nearly entirely free of dialogue. It's cute, interesting, and fun.

All the best to your aunt. It's a difficult time, I'm sure. I know that I feel a million times better since my glaucoma cleared up.

Altered States

Eraserhead

Spirited Away

Brazil

What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?

You could also go the route of DVD box sets of various cartoons. Cartoons are always good when you're stoned. adult swim comedy, in particular, was invented for people who smoke way too much medicine (and often without a prescription!). Especially Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Brak Show, Sealab 2021 and Harvey Birdman. Other great stonedtoons: Angry Beavers, The Tick, Rocko's Modern Life. But don't neglect the classics if you do this. Looney Toons, Tom & Jerry, Rocky & Bullwinkle. They're all amazing after smoking some medicine.

I'll second Blue Velvet. Its not something most people would enjoy unless they're on something or film geeks. The movie practically takes place in something of a surreal stoned world.

Now follow that up with Dune, which has a lot of the same actors and is a good movie on its own, and she's all set.

Watch Chopping Mall whether medicated or not. It's a top-notch, not-scary, low-budget 80's slasher movie. But, if you're going to watch the commentary, I'd recommend using some sort of mind-altering substance; it's completely earnest. Though they admit theirs is only the second best head-explosion scene of all time.

Either way, it's one of the best bad movies I've ever seen, and at 77 minutes, it's well within anyone's attention span. If your aount (or anyone else) DOES watch it, let me know. I'd love to know I'd shared something so special with people.

My auntie swears by silent movies, particularly the Lon Cheney Phantom of the Opera. Double points when she combines it with nonmatching music and gets some of her old-folks-home friends to watch and comment with her.

Spirited Away.

Do not watch Reefer Madness. It's really, really, really boring, even when, err, my aunt was medicated.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Brazil, 12 Monkeys ... actually, anything directed by Gilliam.

Blade Runner, perhaps; Donnie Darko, yes; Pirates of the Carribean was pretty good; anything animated. The Simpsons (okay, not a movie) are to die for.

I have to N'th the various *-qaatsi movies too. Beautiful.

The Prehysteria movies about tiny dinosaurs are some of the craziest movies ever. Prehysteria 2 opens with dinosaurs knocking off an old man's glasses eating raisins and getting shoveled into a crate for some reason. Later a hobo girl defends a rich kid from bullies, she has rocks in her gloves to help her punch. She say's "rule number one always keep rocks in your gloves" seriously that's her first rule. She has no rules that come before that.

In a totally different vein Dog Star Man by Brahkage is really trippy and strange. The Passion of the Christ is really weird. Night of the Hunter is crazy. The Conversation is excellent conventionally but it has a lot to offer in altered states.

The Red Shoes, Seventh Seal, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Blue Velvet, Triplets of Belleville, 8 1/2 or any late Fellini, Talk to Her, and most of all Satan's Brew are all movies that have particular merits in this particular format.

The thing is, depending on how bad your aunt's glaucoma is, she might be taking such a heavy dose that a lot of these movies, being conceptually complex, will be difficult to comprehend while under the influence.

On the other hand, while so medicated, a lot of less challenging movies will absolutely take on cosmic significance, and all their multi-layered dimensions will be revealed in ways completely inaccessible to the stone sober.

At least, I seem to remember that from my own, thankfully long behind me, years of horribly suffering from glaucoma. I particularly recall The Little Shop of Horrors, some early Warren Beatty films (pre-B&C), old Ronald Reagan movies, It's A Wonderful Life, and (this one is truly awesome:) Plan 9 from Outer Space.

By: willpie

willpie — Fri, 18 Nov 2005 09:51:00 -0800

I think this might be exactly what Cheech and Chong movies are for.
Dazed and Confused comes to mind. Half Baked to a lesser extent (although she's going to pee her pants at the Bob Saget scene). Friday. Actually, anything with Chris Tucker. I suspect that Rushmore and/or The Royal Tennenbaums would be a hoot, but we're reaching a point where I'm a smidge too old to make informed comment. Happy Gilmore. Oooh The Big Lebowski seconded emphatically. Actually, anything Coen brothers.

I second votes for Latcho Drom and Baraka. (And why on earth would your aunt want to watch something like Event Horizon while she's purusing her therapy? I shudder to even think of it. Or Alien-- sheesh, you guys. She wants her mind blown in a nice way, not to be traumatized for life.) I'd also recommend Fellini's Amacord (but not Satyricon). And where are the recommendations for concert films? She might discover a whole new appreciation for, say, Phish.

In the Baraka/Koyaanisqatsi line, there's also Bodysong, a gorgeously lyrical and elegiac film constructed of a hundred years worth of found footage arranged around the theme of the human life cycle-- birth, growth, play, sex, etc. Note: the imagery in the birth and sex sequences is graphic. Soundtrack by Jonny Greenwood, of Radiohead.

But if she really wants to have her mind blown, then she must pick up a copy of City of Lost Children. Right this minute!
