His girlfriend, Liz, who fervently wants Shaun to mature and become a man, is the only unpredictability in his life. This routine life of his abruptly changes when he has to deal with a large group of zombies all by himself.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
This is a slow and silent movie that will get you thinking deeply about humankind and its evolution. Watching this subliminal movie while you’re high will have you ogle at human capabilities and technology and might even leave you with existential questions.

So get on board, this high will actually take you to space!
