Rock ‘N’ Roll High School was revolutionary filmmaking when it came out in 1979. For many of us stuck out in smaller cities, it was our first exposure to Punk rock where the grownups weren’t mocking the scene. The movie gave us a chance to see The Ramones on the big screen. Many of us made it our mission to see The Ramones when they came to town. The film made punk rock cool as Riff Randell (P.J. Soles, Stripes) dedicated her life to skip school to get tickets. Even after 45 years, Rock ‘N’ Roll High School still rocks. It’ll rock even better on 4K UHD. You’ll be able to see even more of Joey Ramone. Here’s the press release from Shout! Studios:
ROCK ‘N’ ROLL HIGH SCHOOL

TO BE RELEASED BY SHOUT! STUDIOS

1979: Riff Randell (P.J. Soles, Halloween) is the rockingest rebel at Vince Lombardi High. Evelyn Togar (Mary Woronov, Eating Raoul) is the strict new principal with plans to rule the school like her own personal dictatorship. And the Ramones are the hottest band around. When these forces of nature collide, Lombardi High will never be the same! Striking back against Togar’s record burnings and iron-fisted discipline, Riff leads a revolt that rocks the roof right off the school’s hallowed halls!
With a B-movie pedigree that few films can match, Rock ‘N’ Roll High School is the ultimate teacher of The Three Rs: Rock, Rebellion, and Ramones!
