Rivals "Up In Smoke" as best Cheech & Chong movie
Added 10/14/2009
This is yet another classic film starring the duo Cheech Marin & Tommy Chong. This film has parts that are reminiscent of the side-splitting original Up in Smoke in regards to such wit

Far Out Man!
Added 7/14/2009
Remember in the movie where Tommy Chong, suggests investing in
a Rest Home for Hippies? Laid Back Manor.
Well, Tommy is 70+ and, Cheech, is eligible for SSA... why don't
they make one MORE flick for old times sake called;
"Cheech & Chong at Laid Back Manor"
Wouldn't that me awesome man? Far out!
Everytime a resident dies, they have the person cremated,
put the ashes in baggies... then mix it with some really
good stuff... and, smoke it at the memorial.
Far out... huh?

Strange, surreal, hilarious, another great directorial effort by Thomas Chong...
Added 9/21/2008
I recently went through Cheech and Chong's catalog, specifically films directed by Chong himself. As I was watching Next Movie, this film, and Still Smokin', I noticed that all these films have a strange, surreal, laid back, leisurely style. Part of me wants to say that Tommy Chong was just stoned out of his mind when he directed these films (which he probably was), but I can't help but notice that the films (especially Next Movie and this one) have a flow unique to themselves. The pacing seems deliberate, there are many long takes in the film (including one when Cheech, Chong, and a dealer are at the dealer's house, and Cheech is burning tortillas while Chong is getting stoned), and the film seems to be deliberately made that way. It doesn't feel like a happy accident.
Nice Dreams is also a very funny film. It is also downright surreal at times with the dealer's "garden" and Stacy Keach slowly turning into a lizard while smoking the best grass anywhere. Cheech and Chong's "whales" song is pretty good, too. Even though pot use in movies is more common now, Cheech and Chong were the only ones doing it back in their day. Cheech and Chong just did it, they were never self conscious about getting stoned all day and making money off of it.
I am going to go out on a limb and say Chong has a directorial style all his own. I'd like to see him make another film. He hasn't directed one since Far Out Man, which was made sometime in the 1990's. Nice Dreams is a very good film. It's not as hilarious as Up in Smoke or Next Movie, but it's still very good.
