In this cult film, high-schooler P.J. Soles' efforts to book The Ramones to play on campus are continually thwarted by principal Mary Woronov. Soles knows that she'll have to be twice as clever as Woronov to get her daily supply of Ramones -- and thereby hangs the tale.

It’s almost enough to simply hear Joey Ramone remark, "Things sure have changed since we got kicked out of high school." But there are a lot more reasons to enjoy this Roger Corman-produced punk-era gem. Rock 'n' Roll High School is a shamelessly goofy throwback to the first generation of teen-exploitation movies, wherein the kids just wanted to rock and the square adults were determined to shut them down -- until they learned to stop worrying and love the music. What RRHS brings to the party is a punk sensibility that leaves Vince Lombardi High in ruins and the hard-nosed principal, Miss Togar, in a strait-jacket! B-movie king Corman originally conceived this instant cult classic as Disco High, a rare zeitgeist miss from the producer. Fortunately, much cooler heads prevailed. Director Alan Arkush, with an assist from Joe Dante, anticipated Airplane! with this anything-goes, Mad magazine-style gag-fest. The cast is in a class by itself: P. J. Soles as Riff; Dey Young as her more innocent best friend, Kate; Vincent Van Patten as the clueless football hero on whom Kate has an unrequited crush; Mary Woronov, channeling Joan Crawford, as Togar; Paul Bartel as music teacher Mr. McGree, who becomes a Ramones convert; and the great Clint Howard as Eaglebauer, who runs his test-score and hall-pass black market from a stall in the bathroom. The soundtrack (which could prove fatal to laboratory mice, as Togar memorably demonstrates with explosive results) combines blistering blasts of the Ramones ("Teenage Lobotomy," "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker," "Blitzkrieg Bop") with pop from Nick Lowe, Fleetwood Mac, Chuck Berry, and others.
