There's a double flick at our local drive-in tonight that I'm going to check out...it's only $5.00 for both moviesbanana

When was your last drive-in flick, and if you don't know what these are..then you're too young to know how much fun they can bedevil

I know you can rent movies, I Love Redbox, but for me the Drive-In will always be my favoriteyay beer

OMG.....drive-in movies, what a great time

Cartoons at intermission

Everybody going to the stand for popcorn at intermission

Finding a good spot for the speaker on your car door and sometimes it didn't work

Guys and gals making out heart wings

Last time I went to a drive-in was probably 1962 the same year I got married

All the drive-ins are gone just like all the other fun things from a time when we were just people having fun

Saddle shoes, crenolyn skirts, bows on our hair poneytails, it's all gone moping

Mother Nature played a nasty April Fools joke on us here yesterday. Five inches of snow before it changed to rain for a short while. 40's the next couple of days to melt it all away.

In some countries they DON'T have drive-ins not for flicks and not for fast food!! Nothing to do with age!!!

Hey little lady...bouquet ....Everything is changing to make it easier to get what you want. We don't walk to the store, or to get a movie or just to walk in the fresh air. It's all easily ordered within the walls of our home. We don't even have to go to Blockbuster anymore to get a movie. Just push a button on your remote and you have a movie. Blockbuster and Netflix will eventully go out of business due to getting movies directly to your tv with ON DEMAND.

I know of at least one that is still in operation in NC, Albamarle. This is the one Earthangel is talking about grin
I believe there are still two here in NH as well.
They no longer use the speakers you place on your window. You now have to tune your car radio to a certain frequency to hear the movie.

I think my first drive-in experience was going to see The Jungle Book or either Clarence The Cross-Eyed Lion when they first came out back in the 60's grin

The last one I think was Batman: The Dark Knight

That's right Venus, the guys usually got in the trunk.

There's a John Travolta movie, I think it's Grease, when he goes to the drive-in with Sandy. That scene is so right on point of what it was like in the drive-in. Brings back great memories thinking about it.

Are you thinking of Carrie where Travolta's girlfriend gets him to steal a bucket of blood from the slaughterhouse by giving him a BJ in the car?laugh

No, I'm sure it was Grease. I'm sure you've seen Grease. John and Sandy were at the drive-in and he puts his arm around her hoping to move his hand down the front of her. But Sandy keeps moving around in the car and John never gets his feelup. Sandy (Olivia Newton John) played the part of a good-two shoes and it never entered her mind that people went to the drive-in to do anything other than watch a movie.....

What was she thinking rolling on the floor laughing

O Man you would see al the cars lined up on the side of the road, and every few cars you would see kids hopping into the trunk. With all the whispering and giggling Im sure they knew they were there, but They would just roll thier eyes and shake thier heads and wave us in...Then you would see kids hopping out of the trunk everywhere. rolling on the floor laughing

I know what a drive in theatre is simply because there has been one in my town for over 50 years. It will be here for a long time to come as far as I can tell too. We have one of the three left. I am not sure where the other two are, but I know that it was in the Atlanta Constitution Journal one year about these phenomenons.

If you have one where you are, does anyone know where the other one is?
