Movie #206 "Reefer Madness" is billed a cult classic; I think it's just a badly made film that you will laugh at about the evils of Marijuana. you laugh at it because it's so silly. I imagine a bigger audience will help you laugh even more --------and geez, there's tremendous amount of smoking. Lots of prosletizing, too. I chose it because we were traveling all day and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to stay up for a long movie --- this was only 60+ minutes. But if you are looking for an old classic that's done really well, choose "The Blob" or 'The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes." The topic is intriguing the way it is tackled, though. Gutsy for its time.

(1936) NR
This 1936 propaganda film took on a life of its own when the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws dug it out of the Library of Congress in the early 1970s. Since then, the movie has become a cult hit among modern audiences, who appreciate the story line's comedic value. In short, a group of teens seduced by the power of "reefer" take a few puffs -- and instantly become psychotic killers, jazz addicts and whores.
