personally, i think any movie is more enjoyable while drunk. it shouldn't be that way, but it just is. being drunk just lets me, at least, become more absorbed by the story.

actually, getting drunk while watching a movie is almost ritualistic to me. i like to have my room nice and clean, i might open a window if the air outside is cold and crisp, i'll light some incense and/or have a candle burning, and i'll make sure to have a beer or two before the movie starts so i'm "in the mood" when it begins. then as the movie goes on, i get progressively drunk.

i think it's basically a thing i do to try and compensate for watching a movie at home instead of at the cinema and to make my movie-watching experience as cool as possible.

In my weed smoking days there were 2 movies we used to watch stoned:

Half-Baked
Friday

We also watched 'Rowan Atkinson Live' once but never watched it again as I just about choked with laughter

As for being drunk... I don't know many as its hard to sit still and concentrate.. I've watched Boogie Nights drunk.. that was ok... its good to start drinking while watching it rather than be drunk at the start... that way you sort of glide in with the movie

Once I tried to watch 187 after not sleeping for like 2 days and it was so fucked up, I havn't seen the movie since but all I remember is that it was all trippy and everything seemed yellow, I want to see it again now.

I've never seen that movie while messed up but I saw the trippiness and yellow too...hmm..

I hated that movie.

Not a big drinker myself, but The Big Lebowski is popular when my cronies get tanked.

u just described my high school years. hHAha,.

if we're talking about stoner movies now then it's a whole different story.. cartoons and more fuckin cartoons. Looney tunes especially, simpsons is a given, Transformers if ur feelin adventurous. Rowan Atkinson Live was pretty sweet tho,. good times.

The Wall - the best IMO
Heavy Metal - enjoyable in different ways
Boogie Nights
Blow
Friday
Half Baked
Fast Times @ RH
Breakfast Club
Clerks
Cheech & Chong
Detroit Rock City - it's a  cool movie if you were in high school in the late 70/early 80's

most of these remind me of weekend late night party movies

Anybody old enough to remember Creature Feature's late night weekend horror flicks? Great movies to get drunk too! Motel Hell was one of them.

Personal experience tells me that the best movie NOT to watch when you're drunk is a double feature of Victim and Interiors.

Otherwise, I refuse to watch anything while intoxicated. It's drunken rambling interaction with other human beings, or I'm sober. I won't ruin a movie by not having all my senses sharp for it, not even a bad movie. It's unfair to the movie.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."
