Up In Smoke (1978)

Another example of hearing about a film before you see it, Up In Smoke seems to be the only thing for which its stars are known. It's unfortunate, but apt, that they remain most well remembered for this addmital of self realisation. 

The concept of the film is shown without fear, the boys are stupid, unlucky and on the wrong side of the law - before they smoke enough illicit material to smog out their car. The film moves along with a scene-by-scene pace and makes no sense in memory, but remains an extremely well structured stream of conscious exploration.
