go to a drive-in movie

Sort of?

It was a temporary drive-in, set up for August. I still plan to go to one of the large, established locations though. I’m hoping people have better drive-in etiquette there. (Parents, while scooting the kids up to sit on the top of the car might seem like a good solution, it takes away from the idea that anyone behind you will be able to watch in their vehicles too. Also, popping open the minivan’s trunk for the evening will have similar consequences…)

Over all, it was great. I got to see Transformers again. And I know it will be worth the drive to find one of the old, fun ones.

• I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
• I Am Legend
• The Simpsons Movie

Would do again.

I went to see Spiderman 1 at a drive-in movie theater when it first came out with my aunt and uncle in Stephen City in Virginia, I think it was. It was an interesting experience.

Saw Tropic Thunder last night at the Drive-In in Warwick, NY. Very awesome experience. Exceptionally silly film – appropriate choice for a drive-in. Place was packed! They have 3 screens & show double features on each for $8 per adult. How cool is that? Unfortunately, couldn’t stay for 2nd film which was Mummy. Definitely will go again!!

I really liked going to the drive-in. I would love to do it again some time.

Setting out to get a final head count, here. Probably switching venues to The Ford-Wyoming – http://www.fordwyomingdrivein.com/ – since it’s closer.

Aw, it’s too bad they don’t have more of these around…

I’ve never been to a drive-in theater before, but – being a shameless movie buff – I really can’t think of anything more romantic than sitting on the hood of a car under the stars, watching a good movie. Sounds like a definite must-do :)

I’m, hopefully, going to go to one again this summer! I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith a couple of summers ago… but when I was little, I saw E.T. at the drive-in… and the first Batman Movie. It’s so romantic, if you ask me!

I might make a weekend of this in September: Monster movies! Looks like an all night event of fun, but need to find a companion who’d be game.

On Mondays I’ve been going to something nearly as great as a Drive In:

Screen on the Green, here in DC. They play a decent variety of old movies, lots of people and picnics. Not quite the same, but it’s tiding me over. I’ll be sad when it ends.
