Movies That Are Better Under the Influence

Some movies and TV shows are just better when you've had a little to drink, we can't deny it. I don't just mean those stupid stoner comedies, I'm talking about intense dramas or psychological thrillers.

For example, I just watched The Black Swan after some wine and I feel totally mindfucked. Like, wow. And I know I wouldn't be feeling this way had I been completely sober, I probably would have thought the movie was just okay or even boring.

Please, share your experiences. What movies have you seen while under the influence that really blew you away, and then you watched later while sober and realized it wasn't nearly as brilliant as you thought it was? :lol:

Have a good night everyone!
 
The Wall.

I watched it while drunk and was kinda freaked out by it, though I did "get it" sober.

And similarly, Tommy.
 
My friends and I snuck a fifth of Captain Morgan into X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It made it slightly less awful.
 
Drinking never made any difference to my enjoyment of a movie other than to dull my attention and increase confusion.

Weed was another matter altogether. ;)
 
2001: A Space Odyssey was advertised as "the ultimate trip" for a reason, though I've always enjoyed it sober.
 
^I think it's a real gyp that the DVD of that movie forces you to provide your own cannabis!;)

For example, I just watched The Black Swan after some wine and I feel totally mindfucked. Like, wow. And I know I wouldn't be feeling this way had I been completely sober, I probably would have thought the movie was just okay or even boring.

I saw Black Swan just once, completely sober, and I can tell you, it's still a mindfuck! (You sure what you were drinking wasn't non-alcoholic?)
 
I have only once sat down and watched a movie after drinking and it was Salt.

One of the most enjoyable theater going experience ever!
