My Dad was a movie projectionist for 20 years. We worked walk in theaters as well as several drive ins. Growing up I got to see movies for free. It was very cool. My Dad would bring the movie posters home after the movie was done running at his theaters. Those posters were called One Sheets. We had a hallway in my family home and my Mom would take those One Sheets and cut them up in to a collage and wallpaper the hallway with these cut up One Sheets. It was always the biggest thing in our home. Everybody that came in to our home and saw that hallway was always impressed. I miss those days... My parents are long gone now but they sure knew how to leave long lasting impressions. Love you Mom and Dad... thank you.
There were 2 fantastic drive-in theaters back in the day where I'm from in Dublin Ohio.. One sat where the Wendy's Hamburger Headquarters is currently located.. the other one was down the street where an old-people's home currently stands. First movie I ever saw there was Mary Poppins back in 1965.. I was 5 years old - I MISS those old drive-ins!
Was born in 1953. Had two sisters. My father built a plywood bench that filled the space right behind the front seat. The drive in became the quintessential family experience for Friday or Saturday nights.
As poor teens, we'd park just outside the drive-in fence and try to watch for free. You'd get just enough audio from nearby speakers to make it work. Then, the owners would try to chase us off. We'd always come right back! And when we did pay, we'd sneak one or two kids inside the trunk. The owners watched for that, too.
Believe or Not a couple of driveinns would show soft Porn 🤗⁉️🙌 These drive ins were in an area where houses were across the streets 😃😳 We and everyone else who had no green🤑 or an ID showing the age of 21 would climb up to the roof to watch withering ,sweaty, glistening tits ,ass getting it On 💯 Flick would fade away before any BJ,Anal,Jacking Off and of course any actual PENETRATION ACTION !!! IT WAS GREAT 👍
I remember the first time my parents took me to a drive in movie (early 1950s) and my father (and other cars) used their hand controlled spot light (which were common on many cars back then) to follow a bouncing ball (light on screen) around the screen just before the main show started. Some years later we moved into some apartments adjacent to a drive in, where I could see the picture but not hear the audio.
My friends and I would go to the drive in only to walk around and talk to friends during the movie. You had to watch for the owner however. The Thunder bird drive in, Marysville, WA. 1980's. ( it's now a car dealership)
Hell yeah, we sure do need to bring the drive-in movie back. Can you imagine the Harry Potter movie series at the drive-in? I can see it all now, you would be in your car with the sound coming through your car, radio or those little speakers that you take off the pole and hang onto your car window, and you would be hearing, you’re a wizard harry, that would be very interesting. Also, I could see instead of cigarettes at the concession stand. They would have vaping cartridges instead, so I can just imagine people would be saying. Could you go to the concession stand and get a vape cartridge for me, and then they would advertise it and say we have different flavors from chocolate peppermint, you would see people vaping all around you in their cars while they’re watching the movie.
Great presentation! Alas, I only had two visits to those open air theaters in South Jersey: once, with my parents to see "Mary Poppins" (my brother and I fell asleep and I'm positive my dad was in misery as well). The second time was in 1981: my friend and I went to an all night horror film marathon. There were six movies and for the price of admission, I calculated we paid roughly 20 cents per horror. We were higher than kites of course and I remember laughing hysterically throughout those awful flicks.
LOVED this video. I grew up in the 70's and watched many movies at the drive-in. Going to see a movie at a drive-in is one of our favorite things to do from April to October. The first drive-in movie I remember seeing was Star Wars in 1977.
Thanks for posting this video to CZcams. I have been searching for a good documentary on The Drive-In Movie Theaters for years. I enjoyed this film. I went to the Drive-In as a kid. I still remember the last double feature I saw at The Drive-In it was G I Jane and Spawn. We wanted to see Air Bud but the G and PG screen was soled out. My father did not want to go home with out seeing a movie so we saw G I Jane and Spawn. My brothers and I where a bit to young to see those movies. I think I fell a sleep during the second feature. The Drive-In we went to was The Bucks County Drive-In. They tore it down in 1999. There are still some Drive-In's around today. I here that they are starting to build Drive-In's again. I wish one was close to me so I could go with my friends, spend the night at the Drive-In watching good movies and have fun.
I will never forget those times with my mom and dad and then when I could drive , I used to have one of those old crackling metal speakers that drove away with us. I don't know what happened to it but thinking about it, should have kept it🍒
A friend showed me the pics of the air conditioning units used at the drive ins in SoFla. The picture of the white Mustang with the unit installed was taken at the North Dade Drive in, located at the time on NW 27th Avenue, just north of the Palmetto Expressway, in now called Miami Gardens, FL. Just like most, this closed in the 1980's, due to the changing times.
Remember trying to catch a glimpse of the movie being shown at a drive-in when you passed by one on a road trip with your family? It was simultaneously satisfying and disappointing!
We still have a drive-in in our city, but I haven't gone in years. This documentary makes me want to go back, and I will! Very informative and entertaining. 10/10
Hope you did make considering it was years ago according to your Post ! Think there is one drive in left in Texas somewhere near Marble Falls not sure THOUGH ⁉️💯👏👍
There are two smells that I closely associate with drive-in theaters. One being buttered popcorn, real butter, which theaters no longer use... and the 2nd being Off, mosquito repellent.
When I was a teen I just never could figure out why the owners like yourself got so pissed when we tried to drive off with the speakers. Now that I am a little older. Better word is a lot older I can very well see why Lol
It was always amazing. Depends on where they were opened or whom they were opened to. Most turned into "Poetic Justice" days. Too much fighting started along with Gun violence. Otherwise when I was a kid it was a great experience especially getting in free under the age 12. Even at 16 I looked 12. They also had great playgrounds. The downfall also was the leaving at the end of the movie. If U didn't want to get caught in the traffic, U had to leave early, while the movie still played. Oh and I couldn't stand, the rainy days, The Trains or how the other cars sound pulling out or in the Drive- in. I liked the fact that U could bring your own food, because that food could be very expensive. We had our own popcorn. I liked all of the double features. We also had something called The Twin drive- in. Where one screen was on the other side of the other. We would see the rated R and X movies on one side and the children's on the other side. Yes I also thought it was kool to switch the sound into the radio. today I don't think it would be as fun because too much Technology has taken over and if you're rich enough U could have your own backyard Drive In movie screen or a large one in your house. Even speakers are designed way different today. We just have to admit it was great history, but it could never be the same, unless U have a very private area where only U know who attends the area. I think it got too convenient for violence for just the public. It's no fun having to watch your back or get in an accidental brawl only because U were there to enjoy a movie with the ones U love. God bless those times though, the guys that did create them were genius. This film on the history of it, Was AWESOME!! It brought back all of my memories from the early 1960'$ and 70's. Shows indoors became more popular after that , they had arcades and other games, and it was good not to have to walk so far to the bathroom. Only thing with indoor theatre, U had to be extremely slick to sneak food in and yes it was hard to bring the crying babies there with U. So that went back to the drawing board as it is today. Soon since we have so many conveniences today in our own homes, even if U don't have lots of money. Blue ray, and DVDs or Net Flix has taken over. I have heard some Drive ins were still open in some places, I don't understand how the way we live today. Like a regular telephone or a magazine. They are going extinct.
Thank You, you've brought back forgotten memories, and YES,there are still drive-ins in business.I live close to Tampa Fl. and there are 5 within a 100 mile radius of me. I just saw Jurassic World in 3D last week in a "megaplex"and it couldn't compare to Star Wars in 1977 in the 2nd row at the drive-in! If you've never been,GO and if you do remember those times,RETURN to them, you'll be glad you did ! ! !
Paul Baldwin I remember when Star Wars came out at the old Golden Glades twin which used to be what Dade County residents now call The city of Miami Gardens Florida. And there were also three others that were not too far from that drive-in. They were called the turnpike the 27th Ave. and the North Dade. It's good to know that in some parts of the country the drive-in theater is staging somewhat of a comeback and with no more daylight savings time here in Florida per state law, hopefully a few more of these very icons of a bygone era can come back here right here in Florida by itself I'd love to see that
The Tomales at the drive in were the best, and the chili dogs and the corn dogs, and the popcorn and Popsicle's and all that other stuff was the best too.
!972 there was a Drive In that was a $1.00 a carload in Copperas Cove,Texas.You could stand by the gate and everybody would let you ride inside with them.They had tables and benches for such patrons but walk ins were not allowed.Their restaurant was top notch with a window outside that served food during the day and night.Many happy memories from the 2 years the Army stationed me at Ft.Hood.
Drive ins are so awesome i still go . I also cherish my memories from going since i was 15 and im 51 and hope they keep going its something u will never forget
I loved Drive ins, Double Features so You could make a whole Evening out of it, The Trips to the Snack Bar!!I went to a few as a Child then as a Teenager. The last time I saw one was in 1982, I think it was Cheech and Chong! I saw American Grafitti, Blues Brothers, 10 with Bo Derek!When I moved out of state at the End of 82, I never saw a Drive in Theater anywhere again,. There were those Speakers to put on the Window and also a Frequency to tune in on Your AM radio for Sound. My Drive in Thater time, They always played Cartoons but those Newsreels were out by then, We had Cronkite on TV..
I am 26 and i went to a drive in movie theater one time when i was little and i feel in love with it since and i would rather be at a drive in movie theater then a normally one
Yeah, I miss the times when we can get in the car in go to a drive-in and enjoy, a good movie and a Coke and some good ol'popcorn and hot dogs it was a fun time we have.
The giant brick screen with the neon curtains at 53:09 is the Pueblo Drive In Theatre from my hometown of Pueblo, CO. A Home Depot now stands in its place. Of the three drive in theatres of my childhood (the other two was the Lake Drive In, now an empty lot, and the still surviving Mesa Drive In located in East Pueblo) the Pueblo Drive In was my favorite.
The perfect combination would be a drive in theatre with Tesla and other electric car hookups. So you can use your electric to keep the ac on and use an app for the movie sound.
In door movie theaters should just also have an area or 2 outside the theater where they project movies onto the side of the building for those who want the drive in experience, and those that want to watch inside can do that as well.
sad that a dying art of drive in cinemas are dying here in Australia with not many left at all but with some only coming back since our lockdowns are lifting and great documentary
You know, I've been looking for this ONE intermission clip that is moonlit scenery, very similar to the one near the end of this video, which has a Monticello-like building with columns, spiderwebs with dewdrops on them, a water fountain, a castle in the moonlight..but the one I am thinking of has a white structure with columns, a low setting crescent moon, a fountain, sparkling dewdrops, and I don't think it had a castle. It was so similar, as in, it panned across the scenery from left to right, much as this one did, but it was a little more refined. It was so dreamy to me, and I (tee hee) associate it with my first true love who took me to the Broadway Drive-in in Boise Idaho in the mid -60's. I would love to see it again.
Ask over at Agonywolf Media's channel. That one was seen in ICWXP ep 203-The Gear Is Family. The guys watch a few ads and movie theater intermission clips right before the Hershey's Chocolate short film.
I have it, in like-new condition. It is a 60-second "musical interlude," designed only to kill time. It features a haunting tune, camera moves over artwork, interspersed with a snowflake graphic. Yes, it has a castle in it, behind the dew-covered cobwebs. I don't see how to PM you? (I'm not going to publicly post it, because it's only licensed for theatrical use.)
Number one reason was to take your date to make out. Other than that you would take a bunch of freinds and a big brown grocery bag full of popcorn you made at home. On the dates you had more class and bought it from the snack bar. When it was really hot we drove a truck and watched from the bed of the truck. We'd bring a mattress, pillows,and blankets.
I'll never forget those days. Too bad my dad was a cheap bastard and NEVER bought us snacks at the snack bar. Instead he brought the shitty snacks HE liked from home, and WARM 10cent soda that needed a can opener.
Ohhh I feel your pain. Don't think I ever got snack bar food as a kid. Home popped popcorn slathered with margarine. Not even lucky enough to have warm home pop. Watered down Kool-Aid. But damn it was the best
I have never been to a drive-in movie before, but I’m totally blind and I imagine that this is what they should do if they bring back the drive-in again, I know they brought it back for a while when Covid hit, but they could also add audio description at the drive-in where blind people like me could go to the movie and The movie is through your car radio speakers, but they also have a describer describing the movie for the visually impaired and you could either get a pair of headphones at the concession stand put them on and then listen to the movie being described and then you know what’s going on.
THE BEST THINGS ABOUT DRIVE INS WERE THE different kind s of food and you didn't have to be quiet in your own car.i saw a lot of first run movies in the drive ins where i lived.the day i moved to the town in florida in 1980 the drive in had closed its business.i sure miss the drive in theatre
RICHARD FABER I was born in Dade County Florida so I remember a lot of the old drive-in theater names that were around at that time they were the boulevard The breezeway the coral way the Dixie the Golden glades twin the north Dade the Tropicaire The turnpike and the 27th Ave. by 1989 all the drive-in theaters in Dade County closed down for various reasons
I should really take some time to watch this, but for some reason I cannot figure out, I am less interested in the historical presentation than I am of the many intermission ad playlets and ad sequences.
Great documentary, but be careful. You put your personal info on screen at 49:57 czcams.com/video/GfnTStV-gcQ/video.html Your Skype window is visible along with a conversation with "Brian" and "Patrick"

Great program...I've watched it many times..he show a pic of the panwee drive in.. brought back many memories.
Was born in 1953.
Had two sisters.
My father built a plywood bench that filled the space right behind the front seat.
The drive in became the quintessential family experience for Friday or Saturday nights.
The drive-in was the place where I saw most of the movies in my childhood and early teenage years.

My first memory was as a child seeing Star Wars in a drive-in. I was four.

This almost made me cry. I grew up on drive-ins in the '70s and '80s.
I grew in the 60' with Drive in movies
My friends and I would go to the drive in only to walk around and talk to friends during the movie. You had to watch for the owner however. The Thunder bird drive in, Marysville, WA. 1980's. ( it's now a car dealership)
The neat part was after the movie, you just drove home.
@@johnbockelie3899 as soon as credits started rolling the cars all fired up, I miss those times.
Not sure where u are but drive ins were about done for in the 80s and I'm from rural Indiana.....
im a millennial and 90s kid but i would love to experience to watch drive in theatre
We need to bring these back, considering what’s going on now. Would love to see this happen...
Open your wallet. lol
There would another population Explosion !!
Hell yeah, we sure do need to bring the drive-in movie back. Can you imagine the Harry Potter movie series at the drive-in? I can see it all now, you would be in your car with the sound coming through your car, radio or those little speakers that you take off the pole and hang onto your car window, and you would be hearing, you’re a wizard harry, that would be very interesting.

Great presentation! Alas, I only had two visits to those open air theaters in South Jersey: once, with my parents to see "Mary Poppins" (my brother and I fell asleep and I'm positive my dad was in misery as well). The second time was in 1981: my friend and I went to an all night horror film marathon. There were six movies and for the price of admission, I calculated we paid roughly 20 cents per horror. We were higher than kites of course and I remember laughing hysterically throughout those awful flicks.

Excellent documentary about a different time and way. This was part of my life and it was great to revisit an old friend.
i miss the drive in!

I tried replying twice and CZcams is giving me errors. Short answer: Unfortunately I wasn't able to go.
There are two smells that I closely associate with drive-in theaters. One being buttered popcorn, real butter, which theaters no longer use... and the 2nd being Off, mosquito repellent.
Maybe cigarette smoke as well? Lol I could just see everyone really puffing them down especially watching a movie.
I used to own drive-In Theatre.
When I was a teen I just never could figure out why the owners like yourself got so pissed when we tried to drive off with the speakers. Now that I am a little older. Better word is a lot older I can very well see why Lol
It was always amazing. Depends on where they were opened or whom they were opened to. Most turned into "Poetic Justice" days. Too much fighting started along with Gun violence. Otherwise when I was a kid it was a great experience especially getting in free under the age 12. Even at 16 I looked 12. They also had great playgrounds. The downfall also was the leaving at the end of the movie. If U didn't want to get caught in the traffic, U had to leave early, while the movie still played. Oh and I couldn't stand, the rainy days, The Trains or how the other cars sound pulling out or in the Drive- in. I liked the fact that U could bring your own food, because that food could be very expensive. We had our own popcorn. I liked all of the double features. We also had something called The Twin drive- in. Where one screen was on the other side of the other. We would see the rated R and X movies on one side and the children's on the other side. Yes I also thought it was kool to switch the sound into the radio. today I don't think it would be as fun because too much Technology has taken over and if you're rich enough U could have your own backyard Drive In movie screen or a large one in your house. Even speakers are designed way different today. We just have to admit it was great history, but it could never be the same, unless U have a very private area where only U know who attends the area. I think it got too convenient for violence for just the public. It's no fun having to watch your back or get in an accidental brawl only because U were there to enjoy a movie with the ones U love. God bless those times though, the guys that did create them were genius. This film on the history of it, Was AWESOME!! It brought back all of my memories from the early 1960'$ and 70's. Shows indoors became more popular after that , they had arcades and other games, and it was good not to have to walk so far to the bathroom. Only thing with indoor theatre, U had to be extremely slick to sneak food in and yes it was hard to bring the crying babies there with U. So that went back to the drawing board as it is today. Soon since we have so many conveniences today in our own homes, even if U don't have lots of money. Blue ray, and DVDs or Net Flix has taken over. I have heard some Drive ins were still open in some places, I don't understand how the way we live today. Like a regular telephone or a magazine. They are going extinct.
thank you so much for this. i've been waiting for years for a proper drive-in documentary to wind up on you tube.
In the 70 and 80 The Drive ln Are So Cool 😎 and the Privacy of your car Wish They could Come Back.
Very enjoyable, brought back many memories. I loved the soundtrack, too.
I bet one way for Drive-ins to become popular again, is for AMC Theaters to start opening some up.
Thank You, you've brought back forgotten memories, and YES,there are still drive-ins in business.I live close to Tampa Fl. and there are 5 within a 100 mile radius of me.

The good old days when we got a discount for the ones we had hide in the trunk of the car.

I think the teenage pregnancy rate dropped by 50 % when our local 3 screener closed in I think 98 or 99. 💑 😈 🚼😆
I wish I could have been around in those times it sure must have been a lot of fun must have been a privilege

Hey, now with the COVID-19 pandemic, Drive In’s are making a comeback! Who’d a thunk.
I am 26 and i went to a drive in movie theater one time when i was little and i feel in love with it since and i would rather be at a drive in movie theater then a normally one
it will comeback.
I remember the Astro 3 Drive In here in Dallas Texas. I remember watching WFAA Ch. 8 News and seeing the report of the Astro Drivine in be torn down.
All the haters have never been to a drive-in
Amen to that!!
We still have a drive in but much prefer the reclining lounge and air conditioned theatre. No wonder the drive ins failed.
The Hindenburg There were air conditioned cars, they would but a tube into your car window that would blow cold air into your vehicle at drive ins
@@thehindenburg811 you're a pussy
What haters??
Yeah, I miss the times when we can get in the car in go to a drive-in and enjoy, a good movie and a Coke and some good ol'popcorn and hot dogs it was a fun time we have.
The giant brick screen with the neon curtains at 53:09 is the Pueblo Drive In Theatre from my hometown of Pueblo, CO. A Home Depot now stands in its place.

This is like going back down memories lane. I,m loving it
Drive ins are magical, and isn't Susan Sanders lovely.
The perfect combination would be a drive in theatre with Tesla and other electric car hookups. So you can use your electric to keep the ac on and use an app for the movie sound.
With Covid-19 drive-in theaters would be a good investment for movie companies right now. Who wants to go to movies and be so close to other patrons.
To let the drive in die off as much as it has proves we suck as a species
There were 3 drive ins here in Peoria Illinois, all are gone now, wish they were still here, I remember the Peoria drive in!
Wonderful and well worth the view!! Shared it on my blog! Thanks!
In door movie theaters should just also have an area or 2 outside the theater where they project movies onto the side of the building for those who want the drive in experience, and those that want to watch inside can do that as well.
The Admiral Twin Drive-In is still open in Tulsa Oklahoma...And is still going strong =)
sad that a dying art of drive in cinemas are dying here in Australia with not many left at all but with some only coming back since our lockdowns are lifting and great documentary
THE FOOD DIDN'T TASTE LIKE CHEMICALS LIKE TODAY'S PROCESSED 😾

Love the drive in movie theater, They has the best cartoon . Just love The out door entertainment experience. ♡♡♡.
I love the drive in!
You know, I've been looking for this ONE intermission clip that is moonlit scenery, very similar to the one near the end of this video, which has a Monticello-like building with columns, spiderwebs with dewdrops on them, a water fountain, a castle in the moonlight..but the one I am thinking of has a white structure with columns, a low setting crescent moon, a fountain, sparkling dewdrops, and I don't think it had a castle. It was so similar, as in, it panned across the scenery from left to right, much as this one did, but it was a little more refined. It was so dreamy to me, and I (tee hee) associate it with my first true love who took me to the Broadway Drive-in in Boise Idaho in the mid -60's. I would love to see it again.
Ask over at Agonywolf Media's channel. That one was seen in ICWXP ep 203-The Gear Is Family. The guys watch a few ads and movie theater intermission clips right before the Hershey's Chocolate short film.
I have it, in like-new condition. It is a 60-second "musical interlude," designed only to kill time. It features a haunting tune, camera moves over artwork, interspersed with a snowflake graphic. Yes, it has a castle in it, behind the dew-covered cobwebs. I don't see how to PM you? (I'm not going to publicly post it, because it's only licensed for theatrical use.)
You still have it?
Number one reason was to take your date to make out. Other than that you would take a bunch of freinds and a big brown grocery bag full of popcorn you made at home. On the dates you had more class and bought it from the snack bar. When it was really hot we drove a truck and watched from the bed of the truck. We'd bring a mattress, pillows,and blankets.
There's still a drive-in in Saco Maine. They got a digital projector a few years ago so they could continue being in operation.
Love the drive in.the skyline in Barstow ca and ones at riverside ca
The Van Buren, the Magnolia and the Rubidoux Drive In in Riverside CA. The Van Buren and Rubidoux remain.
Very interesting documentary. The drive-in closest to me is closed for the season but hopefully I will get to go to it when it reopens in the spring.
Me and a couple of buddies got busted smoking weed at age 14 inside the screen at New Haven Drive-in, about 50 yrs ago!
Drive In Theater in Webb City Missouri is still open to anyone that’s interested.
I'll never forget those days. Too bad my dad was a cheap bastard and NEVER bought us snacks at the snack bar. Instead he brought the shitty snacks HE liked from home, and WARM 10cent soda that needed a can opener.
Ohhh I feel your pain. Don't think I ever got snack bar food as a kid. Home popped popcorn slathered with margarine. Not even lucky enough to have warm home pop. Watered down Kool-Aid. But damn it was the best
I have never been to a drive-in movie before, but I’m totally blind and I imagine that this is what they should do if they bring back the drive-in again, I know they brought it back for a while when Covid hit, but they could also add audio description at the drive-in where blind people like me could go to the movie and The movie is through your car radio speakers, but they also have a describer describing the movie for the visually impaired and you could either get a pair of headphones at the concession stand put them on and then listen to the movie being described and then you know what’s going on.
THE BEST THINGS ABOUT DRIVE INS WERE THE different kind s of food and you didn't have to be quiet in your own car.i saw a lot of first run movies in the drive ins where i lived.the day i moved to the town in florida in 1980 the drive in had closed its business.i sure miss the drive in theatre
RICHARD FABER I was born in Dade County Florida so I remember a lot of the old drive-in theater names that were around at that time they were the boulevard The breezeway the coral way the Dixie the Golden glades twin the north Dade the Tropicaire The turnpike and the 27th Ave. by 1989 all the drive-in theaters in Dade County closed down for various reasons
My first drive Inn movie was the movie Carrie 🍿

Karoline Smail I couldn’t believe it was him! I still watch Emergency in reruns!
Wow! Just great memories and well done piece except the voices over lapping!
My drive-in is Pleasant valley drive-in located in Connecticut
"life to me is just one big orgasm" the hell?!😂
I should really take some time to watch this, but for some reason I cannot figure out, I am less interested in the historical presentation than I am of the many intermission ad playlets and ad sequences.
I use the pole speakers until the movie starts then switch to car radio
two reasons the drive in disappeared, we don't have the same relationship with our cars, and cars today are too damn small !
Tibb's Drive-in in Indianapolis is still open. I'm 10 and so lucky I get the Drive-in experience.
