Which 1979 film features the Ramones performing at a fictional high school?

The 1979 film featuring the Ramones performing at a fictional high school is Rock ’n’ Roll High School.

Directed by Allan Arkush, the film follows rebellious student Riff Randell, played by P. J. Soles, and her conflict with the strict principal Mr. Togar, played by Mary Woronov. The Ramones appear as themselves and perform several songs, including the title track and “I Wanna Be Sedated.”

The movie was produced by Roger Corman’s New World Pictures and became a cult favorite. Its combination of teen comedy, school rebellion and punk rock gave the Ramones a prominent place in a feature-film story rather than limiting them to a concert appearance.

Rock ’n’ Roll High School is sometimes confused with punk documentaries such as The Decline of Western Civilization. Unlike those documentaries, it is a fictional narrative comedy built around the fantasy of a school revolt led by rock music.
