+1 for Threads, superb. They could act, the director could direct; I'm critical of much of todays loud, effects heavy drama. But then I'm a wrinkly 8)

"Apocalypse Now" fits into the category I think, if you haven't seen it - do so asap.

I have seen apocalypse now, didn't think of that when I wrote the post. I guess it's not a proper apocalypse (global/taking humanity to near extinction - does tick the societal collapse box) but the name certainly fits and it is a brilliant film.

Apocalypse now is one of my favourite films. Have you seen the redux version. It’s a directors cut and is so worth it. It is loosely based on the book Heart of darkness by Joseph Conrad which is a good read if you enjoy the film. Brando is the man. A hell of a lot of his part is improvised. Genius

I actually prefer the original version, it's tighter (and usually I'd always go for director's cut). The Redux one felt a bit over-indulgent (the scenes with the playboy bunnies and the weird, detached posh French people were interesting but didn't add much that the film didn't already get across in other scenes, and they affected the pacing for me). Anyway, that's just my personal preference - great shout from you and Dirigible, and one of my favourite films too (also Conrad is one of my favourite writers). 

The "making of" doc for the film (called 'Hearts of Darkness') is an apocalypse film in itself ;). Def worth seeing if you haven't - at one point Coppola tells his wife that he's mortgaged everything he owns to pay for the movie, and it's going to be rubbish, and considers deliberately injuring himself to get the insurance payout ;(

Brando is indeed the man! I think he had to improvise most of it because he couldn't/wouldn't learn the actual script haha (plus the script was unfinished)...and yet the performance is still genius.

(also, Brando wasn't the only one who wouldn't learn his lines, as the link with Dennis Hopper above shows. And I'm pretty sure Coppola was partaking of the magic herb during shooting as well, let's not assume he was sober just cos he's the director ;)

This is all a tangent but man I love the film.

I was going to suggest The Road as well, as someone has already said - bleak and powerful film. And Children of Men is a great choice. Also, Tarkovsky’s Stalker - incredible shots and atmosphere.

I suggested it fits as the Vietnam War caused the collapse of Vietnamese society & economy, not to mention the USAs use of the defoliant Agent Orange, napalm and all the rest. As far as all those agrarian villagers were concerned it was an "extinction event", their world had gone. 8(

The Vietnam war was truly ghastly :(

i would like to see an cg remix for a lot of british science fiction

I’m going to throw Snowpiercer into the mix. The movie, not the tv series. Directed by Bong Joon Ho, he directed Parasite and has a great name.

Children of men is also one of my all time favourites, very moving film that scarily looks like the not too distant future.

I wasn’t against the series at first. But nah. The film is so much better.

Children of Men: that is my fav film ever, I remmeber when I first watched it I was so moved I was in tears. Usually love movies but never get emotional, Children of Men however got me. "Strawberry Cough". 28 Days Later, one of Danny Boyles movies.
Other good movies: Train to Busan, The Road, Cloverfield, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Shaun of The Dead, Sunshine (about a space crew in the future trying to stop an impending apocalypse as the sun is dying), Independence Day. That's what I can think of so far, but amazing shout on Children of Men, a lot of people I know have never seen Children of Men, it's a very underrated film.

That one shot through the bus and into the building.

Incredible bit of filmmaking.

Gravity is also a bit of a masterpiece.

The walking dead( rv series )
The road

Should keep you going and make you suitably depressed, but in a nice way.

Probably many, many more. Nothing like the end of the world to make a movie pop.

I do love an apocalypse movie and it’s like I had this massive list pre-prepared or something.

Nobody is that much of a nerd, surely?

Why the fuck d’ya think I smoke weed? It helps

Or maybe I’m like this because I
smoke weed.

Maybe weed would help.

I’ll smoke some weed. Even if it doesn’t help it’ll feel like it’s helping for a while.

World War Z was quite watchable if I remember, been a while since I’ve seen it though

A Boy and his Dog is a 70s classic!

The Big Leboski. Great film, music and funny stoner scenes!

Big Lebowski is one of the best.

this!

You want a thumb dude, i can get you a thumb.
An absolute classic. One of my favourites.

"That's, like, just your opinion, maan." (But I agree with you, obvs)

I had another movie in mind when I clicked on this topic, but you nailed it. The greatest stoner movie ever, The Big Lebowski.

How High with WuTang's Methodman - turns out that name is a reference to acting technique.

Can't believe I've never seen it. Watching it tonight.

Good call. Underrated movie.One that deserves another watch .

How about "A Clockwork Orange." Saw it for the first time at my frat house in the early 80's. It's time for bit of the ole in out in out. Love it.

There's always Reefer Madness. It's pretty damn funny, especially since it was released in 1936. Right up there with masturbation causing blindness and hairy palms. If that was true l would be wearing dark glasses, holding a tin cup begging for enough money to buy a new razor.

I'd like to add The Greatest Showman fucking amazing when you're stoned.

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas

Legend!!!

Agree completely

Bang on dude👌

I've been meaning to watch that after a few spliff for a while now, Yellow Submarine definitely pickles your head too.

Snatch! Lol got to be one of the best British films ever made

Absolute classic, along with Lock Stock!

Half baked definitely.

This is my favourite

The best stoner movie ever!

"Interstellar 5555" :) (How can you beat Japanese Anime set to Daft Punk's Discovery for audio/visual, I mean come on seriously?lol)
Also How High, Harold & Kumar, Sausage Party and Your Highness,..

Thanks this really is the place to find the good shit

Akira, the music and animation is so good. Stoned it's magic.

Only rewatched this a few days ago. I'd forgotten how amazing it is! Thanks again for the recommendation

this

Half baked!

Great choice, haven't seen that in years!!!

Hangover 1,2,3, Pineapple Express, Harold Kumar 1,2,3, This Is The End, Tenacious D, Mac & Devin & many many more <3

I agree with @godzillalien hangover 1-2-3 definitely

Dazed and confused. Love that movie

‘Alright alright alright’

Ha!!!

Absolutely. Dazed and Confused, whenever I want to remember my teens. I definitely peaked in highschool.

Friday

Have to say "Up in Smoke" by Cheech and Chong. Stacey Keach at his best and the whole idea of getting EVERYONE at a concert stoned at once!

Definetely the greatest of them all imo.

Up in Smoke is hilarious!

Amazing well under rated. very lock stock and snatch styled

The book is even better. A legend of a man.

Agree! Read the book and loved it. Wasn't even aware there was a movie. Going to search for it.

Fantastic shout! A Scanner Darkly is just stunning.

A Scanner Darkly is a great pic. I only learned recently that Phillip K Dick wrote this (along with the book Bladerunner is based on - 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' and also 'Minority Report' to name but a few. He is the Don of sci-fi.

Some of his early stuff that hasn’t been made into a movie or a tv show is amazing. Think he found god around the early 70s (the acid and weed was good back in the day) and his later stuff is very spiritual. He is the Don !

Anything Philip k. dick related is good for me!

Blade runner stoned is something to behold for sure….

Alsolute classic headfuck with a smoke!

Yeeeah! Thanks for reminding me of those two. This is my favourite thread of all time.

Love a good 80s comedy! Aeroplane is a classic!

Can’t beat them man

Friday is the one for me haha! Seeing Ice Cube do comedy is gold!

Idiocracy is an oldie that hardly got shown anywhere. Its funny as f""" very black humour but coming true today, so very relevant. This is a great thread. Thanks all :)

Great shout. A funny but terrifying prediction of what could be.

Napoleon dynamite or team america
