Now here’s a true stoner genre… because most of us gamers enjoy the herb anyway. Be they about RPGs, people playing RPGS, LARPing, Video Games, or even documentaries about the industry behind said games… list your favorites.
I’ll start with the best real look into the game testing profession… Grandma’s Boy… which features what was to be an Xbox 360 launch title by Clive Barker… Demonik. They also made an Eternal Death Slayer game, be it a simple one, just to show briefly in the background. If you have the DVD of this, it upconverts brilliantly to near Bluray quality thanks to a high bitrate… also… watch the Unrated version.

Next we have some flicks for the D&D lovers out there… starting with the most obscure…
Gamerz… this little Scottish gem is brilliant. It’s a true stoner gem about the power of imagination, and how it can have real world effects on the people involved. A lot of movies copied it… to varying degrees of success.

The Gamers, and The Gamers: Dorkness Rising… there’s a 3rd movie in the works not to mention a web series called Journey Quest with the same people. If you’ve ever played D&D… this is your flick. The original movie was done in college, and was a hit at gaming cons… but it’s the 2nd movie, Dorkness Rising that is a true gem of hilarity… and shit… it’s up for free on Youtubes.
Here’s the trailer…

Then we get Gamers… seeing a pattern here? Of the three this one is the most professional, and the most funny… as it’s set up as a mockumentary… for a game Demons Nymphs And Dragons… DND…

So chime in with your own favs… be they web series, movies, or animations based on or about games and gaming…
Cloak and Dagger. May be the first one.
Mazes and Monsters predates it… but it’s pretty much the worst ever. Tom Hanks, how could you?

Mazes and monsters was a made for TV movie… There is a difference.
Ever time i see people doing larp i want to go punch them direct in the face. I wouldent even know wtf it was if i dident see people doing it and had to be told what they where doing lol.
Oh, there’s a ton of LARPing movies… thankfully none of the ones I posted had that. If that’s your bag tho, there’s Darkon, Monster Camp, Unicorn City… the list goes on and on, because much like Trekkies… making fun of LARPers is hysterical.
