I'll confess: I saw "2001" the first time in Cinerama, in 1968, after
taking a capsule of particularly pure blue Mescaline, a synthesized form
of peyote. The stuff came on during the intermission, just before Hal
began to run amuck and the light show began and all that weirdness
started in. I was absolutely enthralled by the spectacle, but I was
equally enthralled by the lava-like stream of tail lights on the cars
ahead of me during a post-dusk traffic jam on the Bay Bridge in San
Francisco as I drove myself and my girl friend back from the film.
Sorry, Stanley.
I watched it again recently after taking a capsule of pure ibuprofen. I
still enjoyed the film, more as a nostalgic curio than anything else,
and my back didn't hurt once.

Back in my laserdisc days I was at a friends house and she told me
you just gotta watch this film called Eraserhead. For the sake of
a friend I watched it all the way through, scratched my head and
said 'huh?'. Her comment back to me was 'it is better if you are
stoned'. Darn, maybe that is my problem with a few of these
films I don't get. Anyone got a joint, I am thinking about going
to the movies..... Better not. It would cost me too much in
Popcorn and Gummy worms.
Either that or some acid... for the other folks posting, I would say
that "2001" AND "Once Upon A Time In The West" also helps with mood
ameliorating substances
