Re: Drive in movies
There are open air movies in the summer in NYC (not drive in, obnov): Brooklyn Bridge, park by Chelsea Piers, Bryant Park. It's great.

Re: Drive in movies
While talking cinemas in Maine, the one in Framingham is quite lovely and the restaurant next door is superb and they do a cinema deal, couple bucks for tickets with your meal. The cinema is owned by the same people that own the one in Skowhegan, but that's not as nice a place, very old skool

Re: Drive in movies
That's funny, the inlaws live pretty close, and the place never seems open, it's got a dodgy screen apparently so slightest look of rain or wind and it shuts down apparently, but anyway, never been to that one, can't knock the price though.

Re: Drive in movies
We all piled into the back of a boom truck (10pts if you remember or know what that was) and completely missed the second half of the movie.
Its been demolished since.

Re: Drive in movies
They are few and far between now, having been taken over by suburbs and developed. But Google can help you find a few

Here is a list of the ones that are around (including those that are now dark) in Illinois

Re: Drive in movies
When I was a kid we used to go-the only thing is that I always fell asleep in the backseat (which I was sharing with the dog), so I never got to see the end.
