"I believe there is only one profession that can change the world, and it's called Rock 'N' Roll. I believe it to my last cell that this is possible. I believe in the power of punk." - Lou Reed -
A brutally honest documentary chronicling four decades of NOFX’s career, exploring the music, chaos, and contradictions behind one of punk rock’s most outspoken bands. Through firsthand accounts and unseen moments, the film reveals a story that is as reckless and funny as it is personal.

The cult musical comedy in which the Ramones and a rebellious high school girl team up to take on the school's tyrannical principal.

For the students of Vince Lombardi High School, rock music is more important than studying, driving the school's principals to one nervous breakdown after another. The biggest troublemaker is Riff Randell, an obsessed Ramones fan who does everything she can to meet her favorite band and give them her own composition. When the strict Principal Togar thwarts her plans, Riff and her friends, with the help of the Ramones, spark a rebellion within the school walls.

Produced under the supervision of Roger Corman, Rock 'n' Roll High School is one of the best-known films of the seventies punk culture, blending the Ramones' energetic concert footage and songs with crazy humor, teenage rebellion, and comic-book-style chaos. Directed by Allan Arkush, it has since achieved cult status and remains one of the most entertaining cinematic imprints of the punk spirit, serving as both a tribute to the freedom of rock and roll and the legend of the Ramones.
