A (best-selling) book by Robert Heinlein, first published in 1984, about the exploits of a young (and, the cover-art would have it, scantily clad) courier-spy-superwoman, the genetically engineered miss Friday Jones. As the world around her descends in to political chaos, she accepts a mercenary mission to space - only to find that her new empoyers intend it to be a suicide mission.

"Look, I know you don't smoke weed. But I'm gonna get you high today. Because it's Friday. You ain't got no job, and you ain't got shit to do!"

Late '90s cult classic, starring Ice Cube as Craig, a recently fired shipping worker, and Chris Tucker as Smokey, his stoner friend. Hilarious hijinks ensue as Smokey insists on getting Craig to smoke some marijuana that he was supposed to sell for Worm, the local drug baron. Craig and Smokey end up on the run from Worm, as well as Deebo, the local bully, and have many misadventures. Can Craig survive without getting killed or squashed? Will he end up following his father's footsteps and becoming a dog catcher? Can a movie be considered excellent on the strength of its one-liners alone?

"Don't nobody go in the bathroom for about 35-45 minutes."

Just see it.
