Do You Remember Drive-In Movie Theaters??

Oh yea drive in's were the greatest when I was younger. I would play on the playground but it was down in front of the screen. We actually have a drive in here where I live now and I know there was one where I was living up until 2 years ago. I think it's awesome. It is kind of nostalgic and gives people the chance to experience that.

we still have one that is close by to us and while we havent gone there this year, my daughter has gone there recently and really loves going. i hope to take our girls there before the summer is over.

Hi wachit, yes I remember drive-in movie theaters! LOL I enjoyed it a lot when I was a child and teenager LOL. I miss them. We ate french fries and cheeseburger with soda from the drive-in movie theater. Here all of them had a snack bar. Great times LOL. Thanks for remember it. Cheers and good myloting.

I remember going when I was a kid, we had a station wagon with seat that folded down into the back. We would back it in and watch some really good B movies. I remember walking to get the popcorn and candy. I wasn't allowed to carry the drinks, in case they got spilled. Cool that you could get a job where you use to go as a kid, those are some good memories to hold on to.

Oh wow! Your post filled my heart with nostalgia! Drive in theaters were THE BEST!!! I loved going in my PJ's as a kid, chilling with a pillow and blanket. Just like you! I'd love it if they'd make a comeback. My kids would really enjoy it.

Wow, drive in movies, yes. I remember just like you bringing your jammies and playing in the playground before the movie started.
The playground was in front of the screen. My parents would drive in checking the speakers to make sure the sound was working.
Later on, we moved and was living on the same block of the drive in. We could not see the film from our house but we could hear the sound.
When my brother was a teen, he got a job at the drive in, that allowed us to go in for free. By being teenagers we did not have a car, so we would walk in and sit in the outdoor patio. Boy, the mosquitos would bite and bite and bite.
We got all the popcorn we could eat free, and if we brought our own container we could fill up on soft drinks.

By liviing so close, we would see car full of people drive by, stop their car and maybe two or three people would get in the trunk, so they wouldn't have to pay.
I do not think I would have wanted to do that. What is the trunk door got stuck and you couldn't get out.
Great discussion, thanks for the memories.

I remember when the drive-in had those poles with the speaker attached and you had to park next to one and hang the speaker onto your window to hear the movie, that was way before you could listen to the movie on your cars radio. What great times the drive-in theaters were. I miss them.

I loved the drive ins when I was a kid. About two years ago, we found one about 40 minutes from our home. It is $5 per person, and you get two movies. Plus you can see the other screen and change the radio station, you can watch two others at the same time. So we try to go as often as possible. We will pack a yummy dinner and go. They even play new movies, that just come out.

oh yea,they were great,our last one closed only a couple of years ago,but I sure remember them from my youth.
they were also great for dateing when you got to the teen age stage.mind you,at that time,I am not sure how many movies were actually watched.lol

Sounds nice but all these are unknown memories to me as I have never been or even having seen a drive in theater. The closest to that was a "walk in" cinema, in summer of course where people even had to bring their own chair. Things like that don't exist any more. If there are ever proyections on the open air normally everything is more fitted for the public.
