Cheech Marin (Mexican-American) and Thomas Chong (himself of mixed Chinese-European heritage), rose to fame in the late 1970's and early to mid 1980's. The two starred in 7 films together;
Up in Smoke (1978)
Next Movie (1980)
Nice Dreams (1981)
Things are Tough All Over (1982)
Still Smoking (1983)
The Corsican Brothers (1984)
Get Out of My Room (1985)
They made perhaps some of the funniest films ever shot - based upon the humour of drug 'highs' and paranoid 'lows'. The 'chemistry' between the two was truly astonishing. These films are not about whether drugs should or shouldn't be allowed - it is much more basic than that - these films are about what could and often does happen when relatively 'soft' (i.e. hash, ganja, ect) drugs are smoked.
The box set contains only four of the above mentioned films - hence the rating of 4 out of 5:
Next Movie (1980)
Nice Dream (1981)
Things Are Tough All Over (1982)
Get Out of my Room (1985)
Born In East LA (1987)
Perhaps the funniest movie is missing - 'Up In Smoke' - the movie that started it all for Cheech & Chong. The included film 'Born In East LA' does not star Thomas Chong, and was made by Cheech Marin after the two split in the mid 1980's due to creative differences.
This collection is a good start for introducing a new generation to the 'healing' comedy of Cheech & Chong.

Classic Cheech and Chong in one box set.
Ok I have to admit that all the films are not classic but they still need to be viewed.
Definately the forefront to the stoner movies that have been released since

If you like slapstick sketches this ones for you. six discs in the one box, a total howl :-)
