Every holiday usually has some sort of activity attached to it. While 4/20’s activity is obvious, a movie marathon should definitely be added to the agenda.

In honor of this literal high holiday, here are nine films you should binge.

• Friday

  A stoner classic that hasn’t aged a bit.

• Half Baked

  They’re not drug dealers; they’re fundraisers.

• Pineapple Express

  The entire cast is incredible, but Danny McBride steals the show.

• Reefer Madness

  Sure, it was meant as a cautionary tale when it was released in 1936, but it’s hard to watch this classic now without laughing hysterically.

• Dazed and Confused

  There are only three words to describe this iconic Richard Linklater film:  Alright, alright, alright.

• Up In Smoke

  If someone writes a list about stoner movies, and a Cheech and Chong film isn’t on the list, does the list even exist?  The answer is “no.”

• Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle

  Obviously, John Cho and Kal Penn deliver outstanding comedic performances, but is there a better actor playing himself in a cameo than Neil Patrick Harris as “Neil Patrick Harris?”

• How High

  Magic weed gets Method Man and Redman accepted to Harvard. Hilarity ensues and gives new meaning to the phrase “higher learning.”

• The Big Lebowski

  In addition to lighting up, fix yourself a White Russian (or two or four) as well.
