The best stoner flick.  I'd have to say /The Burglars  /AKA /Le Casse/ 
/-/ released in 1971.  It  was an Italian flick directed by Henry 
Verneuil starring Jean Paul Belemondo as the lead burglar and  Omar 
Sharif as a suave, sophisticated, sociopathic police chief who's out to 
catch him.

Why is it the best stoner flick ever?

    * The first 15 minutes of the film have no dialog, (well maybe five
      minutes,  remember I was stoned)
    * Definitely the weirdest and possibly the best car/general chase
      sequence of all time, (fergit Steve McQueen's Mustang, these guys
      were driving Citroen's). 
    * I don't want to spoil the movie if anyone can even find it but
      despite bad/mediocre reviews, I did not find it predictable, but
      was amazed throughout the entire movie, (but remember I was
      stoned). Also I saw it only one time  in 1976.

Second best stoner flick:  /Repo Man/
