what ever happend to drive-in theaters

[SmokinMom]

They are coming back!

There's one about 40 miles from me, and it's just a few years old. My family LOVES going. And the prices are great. $2 for kids, and $6 for adults. That includes BOTH movies.

I got two in my area and I go atleast a couple times every summer. They are nasty and rundown but I enjoy it so much more than sitting in a movie theater. I wish there were more around, I gotta drive about twenty minutes to get there.

I have one a few miles away. Been there for years. 8 bucks a car load, 2 movies. It's one of the few places I can take the kids that I used to go to when I was a kid. I might go this weekend.

as i was getting stoned i thought what ever happend to drive-in theaters? i remember when i was a kid we wen't all the time. we would walk in through the back with a beerball and get fucked up. where i live you gotta drive like 100 or so miles to go to one now. do any of you have a drive-in where you live or close by? what are your memories?

The only one I know of anymore is about 40 minutes from my place.

just going thru older threads... ya... there's minimal drive-ins in Canada, I think... at least, I used to live by one of the only one's in BC... until it got torn down for the highway and townhouses a few years ago. went to that drive in for a little over 30 years... them's were good times... especially pulling in with the pickup truck backwards and putting the bass tubes in the box with us in lawn chairs smoking fatties and drink'n 'da beers - 'ta hell with the concession stand - total ripoff... and no beer or dubes

when i was in highschool i told my mom that me and a few friends were going to a local drive in and she gave me afunny look. i couldnt figure out why until a few days later when i found out that in her day it showed only porn and mostly gay porn.she was relieved when i told her it showed mainstream movies now.

[godspeedsuckah]

I remember being a little kid and watching the Muppet movies at the drive in. A 20' tall "Animal" (remember him, he was cool!!!) gets your attention on those big screens. LOL.

Oh man, I love this thread! I grew up near a drive in, called the Midway, because it was midway between the two towns. It was great in HS...my buddies would get someone to buy us some beers, we would grab a few dubes, and it honestly didn't matter what was on...EVERYTHING looks great at the drive in!

I recently took my wife to the drive in a few years ago, and we saw Taledega Nights. It was AWESOME!

Sadly, there is nothing in this neck of Michigan that I'm aware of.

HI,

I found this website that has a state by state listing of operating and 'dead' drive in theatres... Way more than I thought there still were but the 'dead' drive in list is pretty sad cuz it dwarfs the still in operation list...

I remember going with some pals when we were about 16 to see some wacky 70's 'R' Rated flick that had a gal who's puddy poo sang... We snuck in and got caught so then we stood at the barbed wire fence and watched the rest of the aweful movie...

I wish I had a dollar for every movie I didn't see at the drive-in :hubba:. Reminds me of a blonde joke...

Did you hear about the 2 blondes that froze to death at the drive-in?




They went to see Closed for the Winter
