Drive in movies were the best growing up. Nothing to do in the summer, just get some guys brother to buy you some beer, add a few lawn chairs and watch some moving you've seen 3 or 4 times again. I think I saw Terminator 2 eight times one summer. I do remember seeing Star Wars for the first time at one.
I never understood the appeal of the Drive-In, altho, I did have one experience that stood out...
I was 15 and my older cousins invited me to the drive in. They sat in the front, I sat in the back. Can't remember what movie they watched, but I could see a "p***y Talk" (a softcore 1975 French film) on one of the side screens thru the back window. I NEVER said a word - back then, there was no internet and this was the first time I'd seen anything like it.
Near the end of the movie, one of my cousins looked back and said, "What the hell are you watching back there?" I played dumb because I was terrified they'd tell my mom - raised in a religious family.
Other than that, the idea of sitting in a warm car while watching a movie never interested me. Plus, you'd always miss a good chunk of the first movie because it wasn't dark enough.
