Definitely one of the most famous stoner movies that became a cult classic over night. “Clerks” is a low budget black and white movie focusing on two slackers named Dante and Randal.
We witness one of their regular days as they annoy customers, discuss the important things in life like girls and movies, whereas they should really be working instead.
The movie is packed with sharp and witty dialogues, hilarious situations and jokes following each other up in a very high tempo. It was awesomely written and directed by Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) back in 1994, and the movie instantly launched Smith’s career.
