Bring back our Drive-in movies!

[Old 66 Yorker]

You can always improvise..download a couple of movies onto an iPad, prop it up on the dash and sit in the backseat. Size matters gents and with our cars we have it covered ))

I watched RHPS nearly every Saturday night when I wasn't working shift, at midnight, at a little theater near McChord AFB in Tacoma, WA. I was stationed there for a year and a half. Like nearly everywhere, fun back in the day, but bullshit ruins things as always.

A friend of mine has a big-screen inside his rather huge shop. He'll get all of the required drive-in refreshments, park his car inside facing the screen, and make a fun evening with his wife and kids.

My sister used RHPS as an excise to go party every Friday night, she got away with everything.

I still remember watching a drive in movie, from the highway. Accident or something stopped traffic. Got about a half hour of veiwing pleasure before it cleared up.

I have discovered in my travels there are THREE drive in movies within an hours drive from me.
Not sure if there is more, those are the ones I've seen.

Yeah, they did the car show thing with F9 And American Graffiti.
I've seen AG a hundred times, didn't stay for that.

I saw Cruelly, I actually enjoyed it. It exceeded my expectations, but they were pretty low to begin with.

I have a new puppy so I am doubting I will be going to the drive-in this summer, unless we get someone to watch her. She definitely wouldn't last through a movie.

Nope. One actually in OKC, and one in Guthrie. Used to be two in OKC, but the one near SE 89th and Shields closed a few years back.

I was there last night. Worst of the series. Very disappointed.

I spent a month there in 98-9 timeframe, was more than one then. Maybe the 3rd one I was thinking of was Guthrie.

I had a lot of fun playing pool at a place I think was called Bucks, but might be misremembering the name.
