Four Twenty
Of course, my real number one would be hiking.
Know your route so you don't get lost, choose a sunny day, bring water, load happy jaunty music on your headphone device, DRIVE THERE FIRST, and enjoy.
There are lots of trippy and heavy movies that I like sober (Pan's Labyrinth, Brazil, any David Lynch or David Cronenberg) but I would think those would be total downers not sober.
I love Big Lebowski, but I'd never watch it 420 and I don't understand why that's a thing. I don't want to watch movies about stoner characters. Stop recommending them to me, every other list on the internet!
I hate to say it because it's ruining Hollywood, but nostalgia is good stuff when you're 420. Do a google image search for happy meal toys from each year you were six to ten. Watch someone on youtube play a video game you used to play as a kid. Find a movie you watched a bunch of times back in the day.

- CreatorJim HensonJack BurnsStarsJim HensonFrank OzRichard HuntKermit the Frog and his fellow Muppets put on a vaudeville show at their theatre, bringing in a famous celebrity to help out for each episode.Skip season one.
Seriously. The characters we love are still nebulous works in progress, the sets and staging are cheap and unambitious, and most importantly the humor is lame. It's just another sad 70s variety show, but with puppets. - DirectorJames FrawleyStarsJim HensonFrank OzJerry NelsonKermit and his newfound friends trek across America to find success in Hollywood, but a frog legs merchant is after Kermit.
- DirectorJim HensonFrank OzStarsJim HensonKathryn MullenFrank OzOn another planet in the distant past, a Gelfling embarks on a quest to find the missing shard of a magical crystal, and to restore order to his world.I cannot recommend the recent ten episode prequel series Age of Resistance.
1. It's too long and intricate for 420
2. I simply couldn't enjoy it knowing that the lovable, innocent protagonists they presented us with were all going to die and the cruel villains were going to stay in power. That's not how storytelling works, folks. - DirectorJim HensonStarsDavid BowieJennifer ConnellyToby FroudSixteen-year-old Sarah must solve a labyrinth to rescue her baby brother when he is taken by the Goblin King.It's certainly no Dark Crystal (why and how it has a higher star rating here is beyond me), but I'm sorting it with other Jim Henson projects. I think this one's really only good for 420 evenings.
Everything I remember about this movie from childhood happens in the first half hour (maybe that's as far as I made it with this one) and then the movie just keeps going on. And on. And on.
It has some really imaginative bits scattered throughout. But they probably could've just been sketches on The Muppet Show.
...Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh yeah; Cheetos are awesome! - DirectorRené LalouxStarsBarry BostwickJennifer DrakeEric BauginOn a faraway planet where blue giants rule, oppressed humanoids rebel against their machine-like leaders.
- DirectorAlejandro JodorowskyStarsAlejandro JodorowskyHoracio SalinasZamira SaundersIn a corrupt, greed-fueled world, a powerful alchemist leads a messianic character and seven materialistic figures to the Holy Mountain, where they hope to achieve enlightenment.

When he is informed that some American named "Prisney" (or something) has already done it, he decides to do his own version, using an orchestra comprising mostly old ladies and an animator he's kept locked in a dungeon. Several different classical pieces are animated, while the animator plots his escape.Italian Fantasia

Ralph Bakshi - DirectorRalph BakshiStarsChristopher GuardWilliam SquireMichael ScholesThe Fellowship of the Ring embark on a journey to destroy the One Ring and end Sauron's reign over Middle-earth.Ralph Bakshi
I think this would really blow the minds of anyone who only knew the Peter Jackson movies.
It is too long, I'm not going to lie. This movie adapts Fellowship of the Ring and most of The Two Towers. Maybe stop where Fellowship stops.
Ralph Bakshi lost the Tolkein rights after this, and a terrible 'Return of the King' was made by cutesy Rankin Bass. - DirectorJules BassArthur Rankin Jr.StarsOrson BeanJohn HustonTheodore GottliebA homebody hobbit in Middle Earth gets talked into joining a quest with a group of dwarves to recover their treasure from a dragon.Having said that, Rankin Bass were well suited to make a mostly faithful and perfectly appropriate adaptation of the fun, cute children's adventure story The Hobbit (unlike Peter Jackson).
- DirectorJules BassArthur Rankin Jr.StarsJeff BridgesMia FarrowAngela LansburyA beautiful unicorn sets out to learn if she truly is the last of her kind in this sparkling animated musical.Also Rankin Bass
- DirectorGodfrey ReggioStarsEdward AsnerPat BenatarJerry BrownA collection of expertly photographed phenomena with no conventional plot. The footage focuses on the relationship between nature, humanity, and technology.
- DirectorJohn BoormanStarsNigel TerryHelen MirrenNicholas ClayMerlin the magician helps Arthur Pendragon unite the Britons around the Round Table of Camelot, even as dark forces conspire to tear it apart.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsUma ThurmanDavid CarradineDaryl HannahAfter awakening from a four-year coma, a former assassin wreaks vengeance on the team of assassins who betrayed her.So much manic, frenetic energy. It is downright zany!
(Though great, the slower-paced and more grounded volume 2 isn't really good for 420)
85% on Rotten Tomatoes - DirectorWolfgang PetersenStarsNoah HathawayBarret OliverTami StronachA troubled boy dives into a wondrous fantasy world through the pages of a mysterious book.
- DirectorJohn BoormanStarsSean ConneryCharlotte RamplingSara KestelmanIn the late 23rd century, a savage trained only to kill finds a way into the community of bored immortals that alone preserves humanity's achievements.
- DirectorAri FolmanStarsRobin WrightHarvey KeitelJon HammAn aging, out-of-work actress accepts one last job, though the consequences of her decision affect her in ways she didn't consider.Watch the first half sober. When you get the TWENTY YEARS LATER you pause the film and you prepare yourself.

- CreatorJohn KricfalusiBob CampJim GomezStarsJohn KricfalusiBilly WestHarris PeetRen, a psychotic Chihuahua, and Stimpson J. Cat, a dimwitted Manx cat who goes by the nickname Stimpy, have a host of unusual adventures.The first season or two, anyway.

- CreatorDuncan TrussellStarsPhil HendrieDuncan TrussellJoey DiazClancy, a spacecaster with a malfunctioning multiverse simulator, leaves the comfort of his home to interview beings living in dying worlds.
- CreatorSeth GreenMatthew SenreichMike FasoloStarsSeth GreenMatthew SenreichBreckin MeyerPop culture references fly thick and fast as stop-motion animation is featured in sketches lampooning everything from television movies to comic books.Seeming formulated in a lab specifically for 4:20 enjoyment.

- DirectorTerry GilliamTerry JonesStarsGraham ChapmanJohn CleeseEric IdleKing Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table embark on a surreal, low-budget search for the Holy Grail, encountering many, very silly obstacles.Their best (or at least silliest) movie.
- DirectorIan MacNaughtonStarsJohn CleeseMichael PalinGraham ChapmanAn anthology of the best sketches from the first and second seasons of Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969).Made specifically for American audiences who weren't getting Flying Circus, this movie sees the boys re-do the best skits from the first two seasons of the show. Only with a bigger budget.
...And better editing and pacing, frankly. I saw this movie first, and when I finally saw the original self-defense against fruit sketch, I was just thinking 'Wow, this really needs some trimming'.
...Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, don't you love Funyuns? Who invented them, anyway? - DirectorJim AbrahamsDavid ZuckerJerry ZuckerStarsRobert HaysJulie HagertyLeslie NielsenAfter the crew becomes sick with food poisoning, a neurotic ex-fighter pilot must safely land a commercial airplane full of passengers.Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker

- DirectorDenis VilleneuveStarsHarrison FordRyan GoslingAna de ArmasYoung Blade Runner K's discovery of a long-buried secret leads him to track down former Blade Runner Rick Deckard, who's been missing for thirty years.A better 420 movie than the original. Especially on blu-ray. Oh my god.

NelsonTrace BeaulieuIn the not-too-distant future Joel Robinson is held captive by Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank, forced to watch B-Grade movies on the Satellite of Love with the help of his robot friends: Cambot, Gypsy, Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot.In stark contrast to every tv show you've ever seen, this ten season show got better as it went along. Seasons 8-10 (the sci-fi channel era) are the best. If you like that, then 5-7 (once Mike is introduced) is good.
The recent Netflix revival is decent. Maybe it would've gotten great if it weren't cancelled after two short seasons.
Oh, are you 420 right now? Well then:
