Movies to watch when high

I once spent a green day watching the Left Behind series. Its those Christian movies about the rapture and the end of days with Kirk Cameron. It wasn’t terrible. The biggest thing I would have changed was the soundtrack. They used contemporary Christian music that was joyful and uplifting. I would have used something like the Deftones. Something dark, you know? It was also weird because people would break in the middle of a crisis situation to pray. That seems weird to me, but what do you expect from a Christian movie? It also got me thinking about how politics and religion intermingle, and how they portrayed certain members of the government, the united nations and the banking industry. Check it out if you don’t completely object to watching Christian propoganda.

All super hero movies. I recomend watching Hunger Games if your on LSD.

I feel let down. You may only call yourself a stoner if your answer featured THE stoner movie. Pineapple Express! it isn’t even a question.

Enter the void

The movie makes me feel like I’m REALLY high after wards. I sat in silence for 2 hours staring at the ceiling. The movie literally is based on a trip, and the entire thing makes you really wonder. Its an incredible experience to watch this movie.

@ijesuschrist, You completely missed the point of the film then.

Essentially what happens is, a Jesus figure and 11 others who represent the worst most negative aspects of their zodiac signs go on a quest to transcend material things and find the highest truth, enlightenment, and by and by they realize that all is an illusion, including their quest, as it is revealed to all have been a movie and nothing they did was real.

It’s an incredibly eloquent and clear minded description of why we incarnate on this planet and what our mission ultimately leads to (the fundamental truth that all is an illusion and only conscious awareness exists).

Big up to the guy who mentioned Fantastic Planet!!

Also I hated enter the void, it’s incredible but it makes me so depressed. It makes the cycle of reincarnation seem so horrible and pointless, which is a great fear of mine. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s an absolutely amazing movie but I just couldnt ever watch it again.

That’s you’re opinion.

It’s important when watching something new to disregard your pretenses and assumptions about why people do things; the world was depicted as disgusting and putrid to the most extreme level possible to convey the idea that what’s going on on this planet is deeper and deeper perversion of the ultimate reality. The most extreme version of every perversity is displayed from absolute war obsessed masculinity to incest to pedophilia to religious zealotry to ignorant obedience to vicious greed. It’s not about showing it to make you go OMG NO WAY SO FUCKED UP LOL, it’s about impressing upon you the full realization of the depths of ‘sin’, the perverted and fragmented misunderstanding and unawareness of the totality of life awareness and truth that leads us to manifest on this level of reality.

Wouldn’t that also be your opinion then? Or is that from the creator’s mouth?

IF that is the purpose of the movie I’d rather watch Requiem for a Dream… (never really WANT to watch that)

Based on your response to Enter the void, you just didn’t say anything about the bad trip – which is all I could think about the entire time of the movie. Exactly how parallel my bad trips were with that movie – the “birds eye view” of everything and everyone, shells of animals going about their lives, seeing everything from afar, a distant perspective, and then realizing all their doings are meaningless, yet we blindly give life meaning, happiness.

Never once do we feel good in the movie. The very opening seen is death – a horrible scary death from a crashing airplane. Then the fear of authority, self-doubt, terrible introspection, getting shot…

The reason I did enjoy the movie, and WOULD watch it again, rather than avoid it like requiem is when he is reborn, it is a sense of a reset, not a total repeat. He is reborn into a new life, with new chances, new perspectives, new environment. Its beautiful, but you still are coming down from a bad trip – It is EXACTLY done to mirror the bad trip. You come down, and you thank god you’re alive, and that drifting aimlessly through the shells of animals won’t last forever. And here you are, a reset button. All the good you wanted to do, you now have a motivation for. All the desires to pursue true happiness are amplified, all life seems new again, and incredibly vivid.

It is a beautiful movie. It drops you to the bottom, and you have the chance to climb back up. The bad trip. I loved it.

Requiem just leaves you at the bottom to rot. Fucking terrible movie. First time I watched it I was super high, right before bed. Didn’t know what I was getting into.

@LSDXM, Yeah… I felt that too – the repetition of suffering. But it is a senseless fear (as they all are, of course) in that you do not remember the previous life, and there is no need for the suffering – it is not an absolute, you decide to encourage or abandon suffering and shame.

The empty shell-people trip blows cock.

waking life is a great one.

@juststartedanewlife, Now, just to prove that you have a valid opinion, you have tried those drugs right? You know.. before you hypocritically talk down to people who do enjoy them.

Not to everyone’s taste, but I find intense movies are improved dramatically by smoking. Bear in mind they can be pretty stressful, and if you get neurotic highs they can be rather upsetting.

The Grey – Those wolves man… fuck. and the plane crash is probably the best I’ve ever seen

Black Hawk Down – Brace for war violence, but if that doesn’t turn you off it will put your heart through your ribcage.
-Well put-together war movies can be incredibly intense, Saving Private Ryan, even for just the beach scene, is a must. Flags of our fathers, Das Boot (if you have a huge chunk of time to invest) Full Metal Jacket, etc.

Children of Men – Intriguing premise, and the filming style is unbelievable, some shots go for more than 10 minutes without a cut.

28 Days Later – I would argue one of the best zombie movies ever made.

The Thing – The prequel they just did wasn’t bad, but the first one is just unreal. Predates CGI, and I would still rank the monster with anything anyone can do with a computer today.

also, Fantastic Planet is win

The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. That movie will get your gears turnin’
