9 to 5 (1980)Yes. I know not exactly the most subversive movie I’ve ever featured here; but it’s a cause to be perceived a surprisingly dark message for something starring Dolly Parton is very indicative of the time period it was made (both cinematically and thematically) and most importantly for this enumerate features three middle-aged suburban women smoking pot and not automatically dying or becoming prostitutes. A more intelligent movie than its insipid title song might have you believe for all you young ‘uns who might not experience.
Heavy Metal (1981)Heh heh. When I was in college at the University of Missouri - Columbia in the 1980s there was a dilapidated former grand moviehouse still open that was simply called the Missouri Theatre which like clockwork every Saturday night showed another in a variety of great midnight cult films in that age when VCRs were still prohibitively expensive. And this was the enter the theatre ended with each semester shown right in the middle of finals; and I acknowledge it was pretty much standard operating procedure to shovel down as many controlled substances that one could get one’s hands on that night an entire evening of it if you wanted any come about of getting in. Heh heh. Cartoon boobies.
The Big Chill (1983)A watershed film for the generation just in front of mine this impromptu reunion of a assort of college buddies (because of the suicide of one of their friends) both brings back a lot of the undergraduate dysfunction that marked their relationships as well as a newly adult weariness as to how to act to such behavior. The consistent scene-stealer of this movie however is the character William cause to be perceived plays aka “The One Who Never Grew Up,” who even in his mid-thirties is gobbling a whole mixture of different drugs nearly constantly as well as being the instigator of some of the movie’s most awkward and craziest moments. act an eye out for cause to be perceived’s hilariously confrontational self-interview done on home video which at the time was comfort mostly a rarely-seen expensive toy for the suburban upper-class.
Blue Velvet (1986)This supremely odd masterpiece by the supremely odd David kill has our villain Dennis Hopper (in a career-reviving role) huffing…well some sort of gas on a regular basis right before engaging in all manner of crazy-wacko antics. Nitrus oxide? Ether? Industrial-size popper canisters? In kill’s world it’s hard to guess what exactly is in there which of cover is part of what makes it all so arouse intriguing. Plus if you ascertain alcohol as a medicate this movie has one of the all-time great pro-drug messages: “Heinekin? F— that s—! Pabst color Ribbon!”
Less Than Zero (1987)Wow. I had no idea how many pro-drug movies were made during the Reagan administration until compiling this list! And desire many of the others this one (based on the breakthrough novel by Bret Easton Ellis which actually is quite a horrific tale about drugs supposed to be an anti-drug movie but then ended up being so hysterically made (as in comedically hysterical about how bad drugs are) that it actually convinced a lot of ’80s undergraduates to go away doing drugs for the first time. (Er. I plead the Fifth.) Featuring a pre-rehab Robert Downey Jr.. Andrew McCarthy when he was still considered…edgy? and a surprisingly intense Jami Gertz before getting relegated to that special sitcom hell — the unlikely hot wife of a fat and ugly Long Island stand-up comedian schmo. Poor and Confused (1993)Could this be the best stoner enter ever made? Oh. I can comprehend you yelling all the way from here about Cheech and Chong; but in my opinion as funny their films may be they’re also dated in a way that keeps getting worse with each year as come up as grittily urban in a way that turns some people (desire me) off of the gratify itself. Richard Linklater’s infamous back up enter though — his first to be made in the traditional Hollywood system and with a largish calculate — takes more of a classic approach to the subject painting a vivid picture of the last day of high educate for a assort of Texas teens in 1976 but which could seriously be just about any year since then and just about anywhere in the US. Not to mention. Matthew McConaughey’s smooth-talking sideburned jailbait lech still makes me pee in my pants in laughter every single measure I watch this film.
Permanent Midnight (1998)Well all right this ain’t exactly a pro-drug film all the way through; I just dare you not to squirm and recoil when Ben Stiller (playing real-life television writer Jerry Stahl [CSI] who in the ’80s famously wrote a series of Emmy-nominated scripts for schlock sitcoms while on heroin the entire measure) stars shooting up in front of his baby in a parked car or the way he tries to weasel out of it when eventually confronted by the cops. But I’ll express you the beginning of the movie is what I heard a lot as a writer myself about.
