Over-the-Rhine’s Mini Microcinema has been celebrating a different timeless film’s anniversary each month this year, starting with the 30th anniversary of Sex, Lies, and Videotape.

The series allows The Mini to showcase movies that still resonate with audiences today, despite being released 10, 20, 30 years ago or beyond.

This weekend, catch at 40th-anniversary screening of Rock ‘n’ Roll High School.

Just in time for the back-to-school rush, the plot follows the students of the low-achieving Vince Lombardi High as they riot against their principal and teachers with the help of The Ramones after the administration tries to stand in the way of the students’ love of Rock & Roll.

Proceeds from the ticketed screenings will help fund the cinema’s operating budget and admission includes snacks and drinks.

7 p.m. doors Sunday. $25. The Mini Microcinema, 1329 Main St., Over-the-Rhine, rockroll40th.eventbrite.com.
