First movies I remember seeing were at the local drive in. Jack and the Beanstalk, then Old Yeller came on.

I think the first movie I saw at a drive in was; "The Longest Yard" with Burt Reynolds, right after my friend got his drivers license and a bunch of us crammed in his 35 dollar '63 Chevy Impala. That reminds me; How come back in the 70's a 10 year old car was considered old and nearly a junker? There were a lot of 10 year old cars back then that could be bought for $35-$50 and were okay runners.

Yepper waggler. A lot of people have forgotten how often points plugs rotor condenser needed changed to keep a car running. Change altitude for a few days you needed to adjust your carb and timing. At 100,000 miles the engine was losing compression, burning oil, and needed rebuilt. Cars today are expensive too. Not easy to trouble shoot or even repair at home, but they are much more reliable with a whole lot less maintenance.

Have 2 within an hrs drive from me.
My first ever drive in show was to watch the " Graduate". Simon and Garfunkel tunes, watching out the back of an old Chevy truck. Cooler and sleeping bags. Double dating with my buddy and his girlfriend That's one of life at it's finer memories.

There's one near my camp. It's across the state line in Portville, NY. I used to take the kids there when they were young and came up to camp in the summer.
Eh...wot?

I think I might have been the first one around here to put lawn chairs In the back of my pick up. And we had a hole drilled through the floor boards with a funnel and a hose No need to go to the out house when drinking some beer.

First movie I saw at a drive-in was “Ice Station Zebra.” Wow! That was a great movie! I have it in DVD and must have seen it 20 times. Drive in movie theater! Sure brings back a lot of memories!
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

There is one not too far from me. Lots of people take their kids there in season so they can say "this is what it was like when I was a kid."

I drive past the Sky-Vu drive in every day on my way to work and back. Thirty five years ago, they used to show some pretty steamy stuff in October and November.
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.

I have one a half a mile from my house. Might be the last one in Nebr. During the summer it is packed, sometimes they have to turn people away. Families come from as far as Omaha, 150 miles away. It's billed as family friendly, no r rated movies. People even bring their campers and spend the weekend. Back in the fifty's I used to sit on my aunt and uncles front porch up on the hill in the northeast part of Neligh and watch the drive in movie from there. You couldn't hear it but you could make out parts of the movie. I'm not so sure it isn't the only one left in Nebraska to.
