QuickTake:

The eight-movie series runs over four months, celebrating classic flicks for the cannabis-inclined audience — from “Up in Smoke” to “Pineapple Express” (No “Reefer Madness,” though.)

You don’t need to be under the influence to enjoy the movies in “The Green Screen,” a new film series at Eugene’s Art House that starts this week. But it would help. 

The series is a celebration of stoner films and a tour of the buddy comedies and meandering tales that make up the genre, from Cheech and Chong to the quest of The Dude in “The Big Lebowski.”

The screenings for each film in the series start on a Friday and end on the following Wednesday. With the exception of the first film in the series, “Dazed and Confused,” each Sunday schedule also includes a 4:20 p.m. showtime, if you’d like to really lean in.

Tickets for each screening are $11 for adults, $10 for students and military members with ID and $8 for seniors and children. (You might want to keep the kids at home this time.)

Tickets and more information are available online. Here’s the full schedule for the series: 

‘The Green Screen’ schedule 

Jan. 9-14: “Dazed and Confused,” director Richard Linklater’s 1993 ode to high school in Texas in the 1970s, centered on a star football player who would rather smoke weed with his friends than lock in on the field. 

Jan. 23-28: “Pineapple Express,” the 2008 James Franco-Seth Rogen comedy about a stoner and his drug dealer on the run after witnessing a murder. 

Feb. 6-11: “Up in Smoke,” the 1978 slacker buddy comedy and film debut of stoner icons and comedians Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, better known as the duo Cheech and Chong. 

Feb. 20-25: “Friday,” Ice Cube and Chris Tucker’s 1995 buddy comedy about two dudes looking for something to do in South Central Los Angeles.

March 6-11: “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle,” the 2004 movie that placed two Asian-American actors, John Cho and Kal Penn, into the familiar buddy comedy format as two friends who just really, really would like some White Castle to sate their munchies. 

March 27-April 1: “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” the 1998 Hunter S. Thompson adaptation about a gonzo, drug-fueled road trip across the Mojave Desert as Thompson, played by Johnny Depp, is assigned to write about a motorcycle race. (But it’s more about the ether binges than doing journalism.)

April 10-15: “Half Baked,” Dave Chapelle’s 1998 comedy about a group of friends trying to bail another buddy out of jail, with cameos from famous stoners including Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg and Tommy Chong.

April 17-22: “The Big Lebowski,” the Coen brothers-directed 1998 slacker odyssey about Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) being mistaken for a billionaire of the same name. Detective story meets vision quest meets a guy in a bathrobe who just wants to bowl and drink his White Russians, man.
