The Movie: Over the Edge (1979)
What Is It?: A
cult movie for the pimply teen in all of us: a bunch of kids living in a
depressing planned community stage a revolution by locking the PTA in their
high school and laying siege to the joint. Such a story demands a great Rock &
Roll soundtrack and those demands are met by Cheap Trick, The Cars, Van Halen,
The Ramones, and Hendrix. Alice Cooper would have been overkill.
Why Today?: Today
is No Homework Day.
