I kinda wish they'd make a come back with first run movies. My car seats are much more comfy than those in the typical theater, and if the people next to you or behind you are making noise, you simply throw them out of the car and make 'em walk home.

I've always loved drive-ins. For some reason I've always dated guys with big trucks when I've been around drive-ins - back it in, put some lounge chairs in the truck bed and you're set :)

In college, we always went in an old hunk of junk car with a bench seat and a socket set. We'd take the bench seat out of the car, sit it up against the front bumper in reclined position and watch the movie in style.
Though by that time the drive-ins were well on their way out and played B-movies at best. That was the old Georgia drive-in during it's final days. There's a BMW dealership there now.

CT's first movie was at the old drive in on 85 - he was a month old. I wanted to see a movie and I didn't want to leave him with a babysitter. :P

That drive-in made it into the 90's. And still showed first run. However, the problem was it became a major hang out for gays. You had to really focus only on the screen or you might see something you REALLY didn't wanna see.
There were lots of butt prints on those windows.

I have years of fond memories of that theater and the one in Statesboro :) There was one in Austell back in the early 80's that used to show soft porn. Or so I was told........ :rolleyes:

I *think* the one in statesboro is the other one that is still alive. I've been to the one in Austell as a kid back when it still showed first run, that was the Marboro or something like that.
They all tried to do softcore, but it was *too* softcore, barely R-rated...was rare to even catch a glimpse of some boo hair.
The real problem is simply economics. The old 85 drive in is a perfect example. On that same property that had 2-3 screens as a drive in, there's now a megaplex with 24 screens and stadium seating that makes a lot more money.
