When it comes to "stoner films," Cheech & Chong will forever be the kings of this always entertaining (and often very silly) sub-genre.

Seriously, think about all of the stoner classics you love. Would they have been made had it not been for Cheech & Chong? There’s a good possibility they wouldn’t, and then we could be living in a world without the wonder that is Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey. (More on him in a little bit.)

"Stoner films" have been top of mind lately due to the release of the trailer for Cheech & Chong's Last Movie. (WARNING: Some NSFW language in the trailer below.)

In the trailer for the film, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong are seen going on a road trip where they both open up about their ups and downs in the entertainment industry. The documentary isn't afraid to examine the not-so-great aspects of the comedy duo's relationship over the years.

In honor of the April release of Cheech & Chong's Last Movie, here's a look at some outstanding stoner films they may not have happened without this iconic comedy duo.

There are only three words to describe this iconic Richard Linklater film:  Alright, alright, alright. Besides giving us McConaughey, Dazed and Confused also gave us a killer soundtrack.

Quick reminder: They're not drug dealers; they're fundraisers. Also, it's still wild what Dave Chappelle's head and body shape used to be before he got swol AF in the 2010s, which we're sure is only from hitting the gym. (Wink-wink.)

A stoner classic that is still perfection and responsible for so many one-liners that so many of us use on a regular basis. Our condolences to anyone named Felicia in the years since the release of this movie.

Obviously, John Cho and Kal Penn deliver outstanding comedic performances, but is there a better actor playing himself in a cameo than Neil Patrick Harris as “Neil Patrick Harris?”

The entire cast is incredible, but Danny McBride steals the show, which is stating the obvious, but his performance is that good.
