Rock 'n' Roll High School

Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979) is an American musical comedy you can watch online on iFILM. At Vince Lombardi High, a strict new principal named Miss Togar declares all-out war on rock music — and the students answer by cranking it up even louder.

Riff Randell is the school's number-one Ramones fan. She camps outside the box office for three straight days just to land tickets to see the band. When the leather-jacketed punks finally roll into Vince Lombardi High, the standoff between teenagers and administration tips over into total mayhem, with guitar riffs replacing lesson plans. P.J. Soles and Vincent Van Patten star, alongside Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Marky Ramone playing themselves.

Allan Arkush directed it for Roger Corman's New World Pictures, which explains the shoestring budget, the gleefully rude humor and the Ramones performing live on camera. Over the years it built a devoted cult following among punk fans and lovers of trashy '70s comedy. Pick this one when you want something loud, goofy and proudly dumb.
