Joey Ramone!
Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979) : This is a musical comedy film produced by Roger Corman, directed by Allan Arkush, written by Richard Whitley, Russ Dvonch, Joseph McBride and featuring The Ramones. This film stars P. J. Soles, The Ramones, Vince Van Patten, Clint Howard, Dey Young, Mary Woronov, Paul Bartel, Dick Miller, Don Steele and Alix Elias. Darby Crash and Lorna Doom of The Germs also played extras in this film as well as Kc Ramone. With a budget of $300,000 and one amazing sound track this movie is pretty perfect.
Vince Lombardi High School keeps losing principals to nervous breakdowns because of the students' love of rock 'n' roll and their disregard of education. The putative leader of the students is Riff Randell, who loves the music of the Ramones. A new principal, the rock-music-hating Miss Evelyn Togar, is brought in and promises to put an end to the music craze. When Miss Togar and a group of parents attempt to burn a pile of rock records, the students take over the high school, joined by the Ramones, who are made honorary students. When the police are summoned and demand that the students evacuate the building, they do so, which leads to an explosive finale.
