Directed by Allan Arkush and Joe Dante | 93 mins | 1979
The moptop Ramones liberate a school from killjoy Principal Togar (Mary Woronov) in this sweetly rambunctious romp starring P.J. Soles (Halloween) as lead rebel of the student body.

Additional tunes by Paul McCartney, Devo, Alice Cooper, and Chuck Berry. “Could your school be next?”
