I love the Drive-In.
I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we can talk about Drive-Ins. Do you have one in your town? Have you ever been to one? Do you like them or not?
I live about 30 minutes away from a Drive-In and they will open up for the season in March! I love going to the drive-in with friends and family. We usually take a truck and blankets and food. We buy some at the snack stand too. It's really relaxing and fun because you're not just watching the movie, you're hanging out, having fun. I like intermission ads they give. It sort of takes you back in time. Love them!
Here is a video about Grease at the Drive in w/ some intermission ads... Grease at the Drive-In
Here is video of more intermission time ads I found on Youtube: Intermission Time

We never had one in my town, but there was one a few towns away, I used to go a lot during my teenage years with my friends up until my early 20's was when they closed it. I abolutely loved the Drive-Ins, you can pig out and get comfortable in your car and not worry about what others think.

The closest drive-in to me now is about 75 miles away. Anyways, I remember going to the drive-in with my folks when I was young, around 5 on up, being in my PJs. I saw "Raiders of the Lost Ark" at the drive-through. I also remember a weird sci fi movie called "It Came Without Warning" about a bloodsucking alien thingie. Anyways, Marshall used to have a drive-in, but now it's a residential area. The streets over there are kinda movie-related: Indiana Jones Drive, DeVito Street... ~C

There is one about a half hour away from my house, but I've never been to it :( It's cool b/c you get to see 2 movies for one entrance price, but I've never had the chance to go and they're usually playing movies that have already been out in theatres for awhile by the time they show them. Maybe sometime I will go though, it seems like it would be fun :)
