        Aliens

        I remember that night well

        Started raining through the movie, so the drive-in gave us all raincheck coins to use in the future.

        The next day the drive-in shut down

        Today it's self storage units

          There's a drive-in about 20 minutes away from me in the next town. Last movie I saw there was Pirates of the Carribean 2.

          Oddly enough, I never went there much as a teenager.

            Fantastic Four, my daughter was just a baby then and easier to manage. We'll probably try again this summer.

              We've got a drive in about 15 minutes from the house, so last summer we went and saw the double feature of Ratatouille & Surf's Up. We'll probably go a couple of times this summer.

                Not sure which movie, but we used to walk into the Roosevelt Drive-In in Langhorne, PA in the early 80's. Every now and then we'd get chased out, but it was a great way to see r-rated movies our parents had barred us from seeing.

                I do remember seeing Jaws back in the day. My mother took us in the staion wagon, all decked out in our PJ's. Not a great choice the day before we were supposed to go the beach. What I really remember was the second feature- Death Wish! My mom had no idea what the movie was and was, to say the least, a bit disturbed. For those of you who don't know, the movie opens with a violent rape scene of Charles Bronson's wife and daughter. I can clearly recall gravel flying all over, our faces pressed to the back window, as my mother was trying to peel out of the drive-in before our little minds were further warped. Too late, ma.

                  I think it was Beverly Hills Cop... My brother used to work there, so I got in free... I even got to go in the projector room once or twice. It was a very cool experience, I saw a bunch of movies from 82-85 or so until he went to college, it closed soon after. They had good greasy food at ours; pizza, barbecue, burgers and fries and of course Pop Corn. My bro would bring home garbage bags full of pop-corn, and any left over food from the night. Funny enough one of our good buddies lived just down the road from the Drive in and could watch from his back yard. He even rigged up a speaker and spliced into one of the speaker poles... He saw everything! Good times... indeed!

                  Great Thread HG, you start some good ones!

                    In high school we went to a drive-in marathon of Song Remains the Same, Stop Making Sense and Pink Floyd the Wall in El Paso, Texas.

                    Driving home was....challenging.

                          We still have one double drive-in here, and the last time we went was a superhero triple feature: Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and the Hulk

                            Anybody remember Drive-In movie burgers ?

                            They were all the same no matter what Drive-In.....

                            They tasted liked Roache-coach burgers --- but back then -- for some reason, they were pretty good

                              There aren't any drive in theaters around here so I never saw one.

                              I guess the closest thing to it is we have a Minor League Baseball team here in town that does promotional type activities all the time. My son was in the Cub Scouts at the time and they had an event to watch the game and then set up a tent on the outfield (softest earth I ever camped on) and they played The Incredibles on the big jumbo screen that stadiums have. I took my younger son too who couldn't have been more than 3 at the time and we just layed a blanket out on the grass and watched the movie before retiring in the tent.
