best stoner flicks?

[Steven]

	I haven't seen PE but I'd guess the problem with the film is that  
you can't make a film out of a completely visual children's book that  
works more like a slide show.  The artist in question is one of the  
biggest names in the biz and deserves it...but I doubt that his  
'thing' translates very well to film.  He has an amazing moody  
alphabet book that has to be seen to be believed., Chris van Allsburg  
by name.

	I've really enjoyed (with my son) all the new children's animation  
that's out since Toy Story.  Monster House was very good this summer  
as well as Over the Hedge and Open Season.
