It's been more than two decades since Cheech & Chong blew their signature weed cloud over the face of American cinema.

A short history lesson here that I landed on my virtual desk and that I thought was worth sharing. It did also remind me of an old piece I wrote on the old S&A site 3 years ago or so, on memorable title sequences. And the one that I highlighted with was Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing.
