What do movies that are extremely difficult to understand, films that look utterly ridiculous, and films that are so awful you wonder about the sanity of the filmmakers have in common? When you’re high, they’re all really entertaining to watch, and somehow, make a lot more sense. Here’s our Top 10 Mind-Bending Movies you should when you’re high.
1. Mulholland Drive (2001)
One of the most enigmatic movies you’ll ever see is David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive. The film, which stars Naomi Watts in a standout performance, centers on three main characters: a woman who has lost her memory, a Hollywood hopeful, and a filmmaker who is negotiating with mafia over the casting of his movie. Actually, being high can make it easier for you to make sense of the chaos.
2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
This film, which stars an outlandish duo of Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, centers on a man who is trying to move past a failed relationship. The film takes several twists and turns and is creative in how it deals with dealing with heartbreak and moving on. When some of the plot devices can make you fall asleep as you’re sober, getting high while you watch might make you chuckle at how absurd it all is.
3. Enter The Void (2009)
This Gasper Noe-directed movie helped India become more receptive to the entire psychedelic experience. A drug dealer’s life is examined as his soul soars above Tokyo in this film. Did not comprehend? It’s possible that the director’s use of mushrooms while writing the script affected how the movie turned out.
4. Inception (2010)
Known for his intricate films, Nolan created this one about heists occurring while the victim is dreaming. It has received a lot of criticism for its illogical plot, but it may be the ideal film to watch when you’re in a semi-dream state.
5. Shutter Island (2010)
This “slasher picture” is an attempt in the genre and stars the popular acting duo of Leonardo Di Caprio and Martin Scorsese. This movie promises to impress you with its graphics when you’re drunk. It’s full of ominous atmospheres, eerie characters, and a slightly disoriented protagonist.
6. Donnie Darko (2001)
The breakout movie for Jake Gylenhall portrays the life of an awkward and slightly eccentric adolescent. He runs into a “rabbit” one night who informs him that the world will end in 28 days. If you’re viewing it while high, the story’s a little disjointed, which is a good thing.
7. Edge Of Tomorrow (2014)
Starring Tom Cruise, where he has to live the day of his death again and again. It is one hell of an entertaining movie with lots of warfare and shows Tom Cruise in a non-action hero light for a change. Great fun for when you’re tipsy.
8. Memento (1999)
The film that Nolan used to gain attention for his work. I could just state that the movie is backwards to try to explain it, but it would undersell the film’s logic and significance. When you see it while drunk, it will almost certainly blow your mind.
9. Interstellar (2014)
Once more, Christopher Nolan. What is the stoner’s favorite director? Maybe. Up until the last thirty minutes of Interstellar, everything was fine. Then, they began to whiz through quantum physics, and ideas like singularities, gravitational constants, and the slow passage of time left everyone feeling dizzy. Watching it while intoxicated might actually improve your ability to concentrate and help you understand it.
10. Fight Club (2000)
This David Fincher classic is not the easiest movie to watch for the first time. It also doesn’t help at all if you watch it when you’re 9 like the author. However, if you get beyond your initial reservations, get ready to be completely floored by Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. Rule number one: Watch while High to appreciate the visually arresting content even more.
Conclusion
In conclusion, these top ten movies to watch when you’re high offer a unique and exciting viewing experience. From mind-bending thrillers and sci-fi adventures, to romantic dramas and fantasy epics, these films will take you on a wild ride and leave your mind blown. So grab your favorite strain, sit back, and enjoy the show!
