AKA: Cheech & Chong's Up in Smoke
The first of the big screen adventures of Cheech & Chong follows the hilarious antics of two drug-obsessed young hombres, Pedro and Man. While the plot is scattershot, it's kind of irrelevant when you've got chemistry off the charts like this. You have to be attuned to a particular kind of lowbrow humor to fully appreciate it; being a doper is not required (though I'm sure it probably helps). As someone who has never smoked a day in his life, I find this shit hilarious.
Arising from the hippie and drug counterculture movements of the '60s and '70s, it effectively established the stoner buddy comedy genre, inspiring the likes of Bill & Ted, Jay & Silent Bob, Harold & Kumar and other dopey duos.
