one of the best if not the best rocknroll movie ever . and it not just mindless fun . there really be a lot of clever joke in it . of course i love the ramones . but with all the anarchy and the i hate high school theme and the film doesn not at all take itself too seriously and which be what great about it . i first saw the movie in the spring of 1980 and and i saw it again recently . since i go to high school in the late 1970 and it make me kind of nostalgic . like i say and this film doesn not take itself that seriously and isn not pretentious like so much other teen fare of the seventy and eighty and and ninety . and to speak of and it not really dirty or disgust either . only pg rat . that rare for a movie in this category . a great cult classic and a truly incredible time capsule .
