Some stoner comedies try and fail, but these ones really stand the test of time. Heck, these ones are even funny sober, too!

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle features one of the funniest cameos of all time in the form of a rather rowdy Neil Patrick Harris, who keeps causing trouble for the front-leading duo as they try desperately to make their way to a White Castle after getting high one night.
