Okay, if you love campy musicals, you are hereby ordered to rent Reefer Madness! It's genius. I just saw it for the first time, and I'm telling you, it's hilarious. It has tons of little things you could miss if you aren't paying attention.

To enjoy this movie, though, the following must be true: 1) You have to recognize sarcasm, since the whole thing is sarcastic as hell. 2) You have to be into musical-type campiness, like The Rocky Horror Picture Show. 3) You have to have a good sense of humor.

In other words, if you're a republican prude or otherwise uptight nutwad, you wouldn't grasp the humor.

Oh, and it's got a bunch of cool people in it.

It's as sweet as Shirley Temple dipped in pudding.

Watch the original Reefer Madness:

It's an old 1938 film aimed towards teenagers trying to prevent them from smoking. Remember, it's supposed to be serious, which makes it all the more funny.

Sex Madness is another good one.

Enjoy!

it's odd that you mentioned Shirley Temple because just the other day I found myself thinking about Shirley Temple while eating pudding....

Sorry to be catching up, but I heartily endorse that musical/movie/whatever. It's pretty darn funny. I like how pot turns it into a movie about zombies. Sortof.
