I've never been to a drive in in my life, that must've been a cool experience. A shame about the screen collapsing, but something tells me the drive-in wouldn't exist anymore anyway. Does anybody still have a drive-in in their area?
Yep. There's still one here, just a little ways north of Denver. Mostly B movies (or course!), but the missus & I went there with another couple a several years back to see
Austin Powers in Goldmember on a double bill with a movie, the name of which I can't recall, about some giant spiders running amok.
When I was younger, you went to a drive-in & parked your car facing the screen. But nowadays, there's so many SUVs that people park backwards, open the hatch, & watch the movies out the back. They also broadcast the movie soundtracks so you can tune them in on your vehicle's radio, which is a vast improvement over those little speakers you hung over your car's side window.
