 Posted: 09/22/03 - 16:01 Post subject: Drive In Movie Theatres
The wife and I went up to one on Friday. It just opened up and was a blast from the past!
(we saw Sea Biscuit by the way and I give it a hearty  )
What was your first movie you ever saw in a drive-in?
When was the last time you were at one?

You actually watched the movie? 
Last time I went I was a little girl wearing pj's. Slept on the seat.

I've never seen a drive-in, nonetheless been to one. A friend once drove into a movie theatre; does that count?

This one RULES...it's near Kaukauna and it was well worth the drive, Rando...$6 per adult and it's a double feature at that! (the second movie was Open Range but we had to a party so we left before it started).

My parents took us to lots of drive-ins when I was a kid.
And going to the drive-in was still quite the thing to do when I was in high school.

In Iowa, we used to live down the street from the back of a drive in. We must have watched Grease and Star Wars a gazillion times under/between the wooden fence. The funny thing was...we could never hear the words and we watched them in complete silence.
Those were the good old days. To think...we were out after dark and without our parents. I was 10 years old.

technically yes.
for the purpose of this post I do not think it meets the criteria. Then again nothing stays on topic here.

There is only one drive in left in this area. I think it would be cool if they brought them back.
