Rock n Roll High School Forever

This film = my life [as i would have liked to live it]

Fuck the critics, if you like rock n roll and are cheeky enough to walk that fine line between absolute grossness and total rudeness... ah whatever, just watch the damn movie. I'll even send you a copy, it is that worth it.

Funny as hell, with Corey Feldman in possibly one of his worst Michael Jackson impersonating wardrobes EVER, this is one film which keeps me entertained, and has been since 1991 when it first released.



Ronald Reagan High School is invaded by an interestingly named Vice Principal, Dr.Vader, whose sole purpose in life is to keep students in detention forever. That does not go down well with the "cool kids" aka Jessie and his bandmates. They create super-brilliant plot after plot to overthrow her, and when they succeed, the school blows up, literally.
The film has some of the danciest 90's music i have ever heard, with tracks like Love at the Laundromat [ridiculously cute], Dare Dreamer, I Yi Yi Yi Yi Yi [i like you very much] and a bunch of others. All super cool.

You will have to go through living hell in order to download it [took me a week], and since the soundtrack was never released, singles will have to be looked up and snatched off various rare discographies.

I currently have all the tracks by the band The Pursuit of Happiness, and this other song called "You are Mine" by another fantabulous but commercially unsuccessful band called Eleven.


Bloody hell, most of the deserving bands on this planet aren't understood or appreciated enough by the masses, that sucks. I just wish it wasnt so hard to get the music because i really really really want it.

On another note, got 3/4th of the leg tattoo re-done and the pain was worse. Watched the Rob Zombie version of Halloween while i was at it, and while it wasn't a patch on the John Carpenter original, the kid playing young Myers did a stellar job. I'd give it a 6/10.

I totally agree! Rock n Roll High School Forever is one of my favorite comedies of the 90s! Really fun flick. Yeah, it sucks that you can't find the music anywhere, some of it is really catchy stuff.

This movie totally rocks! It's one of those movies that had become a part of my childhood.

I might sound tacky but is there any way you could upload this film somewhere so I could download it free? like piratebay? I bet I'm not the only one you would appreciate it... ciao for now!
