The date 4/20 is celebrated by marijuana smokers in the United States and around the globe as Weed Day. It serves as an appropriate time to appreciate the stoner film subgenre, its evolution and the influence of its movies throughout filmdom. The film group even has its own genre-specific awards that were created by the magazine, High Times, called the Stony Awards. The "Stonys" celebrate notable stoner films and television, recognize individual performances and lifetime achievement, with winners receiving a bong-shaped trophy.

The most common shared element within the subgenre is the marijuana theme, where recreational use often drives the plot. While stoner crossover films exist, many stoner movies tend to be comedic in nature. These stoner comedies involve protagonists who have marijuana, are attempting to find marijuana, or have some other weed-related task to complete. Often, the main protagonists are two friends and the plot is a variation on the traditional buddy film with a weed-influenced spin.
