Cheech and Chong Movies: Release Order

Other Watch Lists:
1978 - 20137 Films10h 29m2.9 Average

The Cheech & Chong films are standalone comedies featuring the iconic duo of Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, with no continuity between entries. The series began with the stoner comedy Up in Smoke (1978), which became a massive box office success. The early films defined the duo's brand of counterculture humor centered on marijuana and the hippie lifestyle.

The first three films represent the classic era of Cheech & Chong, while later entries saw diminishing returns. The Corsican Brothers (1984) marked an unusual departure as a period comedy parody with no stoner humor. The duo split in 1986 after making the short mockumentary Get Out of My Room (1985), which is not included here due to CineSort's focus on feature films. After nearly three decades apart, they reunited for Cheech & Chong's Animated Movie (2013), which animates many of their classic comedy sketches.

Nice Dreams

Director: Tommy Chong
Cast: Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, Stacy Keach, Timothy Leary, Evelyn Guerrero

Nice Dreams - it rhymes with ice creams. And that's what Cheech and Chong are selling in this thoroughly wacky comedy. The outrageous, permanently spaced-out duo sells enough of their "specially mixed" ice cream to take the cash and realize their fondest dreams: new guitars, islands in the sun and beautiful women. But, of course, not everything goes as planned. While celebrating their wealth in a new wave Chinese restaurant, Cheech meets his long-lost love Donna, and promptly escorts her to her posh penthouse. He soon learns, however, that Donna's boyfriend, an ex-con named Animal, is on his way to her boudoir. Meanwhile, Chong has unwittingly exchanged all their money for a worthless bank check - and the only way to get it back is to escape into a nearby insane asylum.
