What/Where was the last Drive-In Movie you saw? Year?
I loved the drive-in movies. So fun. Even the concessions seemed to taste better. The last one I saw was the 1st weekend ALIEN came out, early 80's in Door County, Wisconsin.
I used to go to the Dixie Drive-In north of Dayton, OH when I was in high school in the late 80's. It cost $5 a carload, and they were the same movies as showing in the regular prices theatres. It still had a metal swingset or two located right in front of the screen. I don't remember the last movie I saw there, but I took my husband, maybe in 1999 or 2000, and the price had gone up to $6 a carload. It's still open, too!
Can't remember the movie, but it was at the Oakley Drive-In in Cincinnati, about five or six years ago. It closed in 2005.
I grew up a half-block away from the Lawrence Park Drive-In in Erie, Pa. As a teenager, my friends and I would walk through the woods and through a hole in the fence to watch the movies. It closed sometime in the 80s.

Conan The Barbarian in 1982. Left the wife at home and went with my best bud and a pint of Jack Black. We enjoyed the film immensely. A drive-in somewhere in Fairfax VA, don't remember where now, they've all been gone a long time.
The last Drive-In movie that I saw was The Spy Who Shagged Me at the Garden-Drive In in Hunlock Creek PA. That was probably 2000. I went with my kid and brother. It was my brothers idea to take my son to a drive in - great idea. That's the movie that happened to be playing that particular weekend. I had the back seat and didn't have a great view, though I really didn't care. It was a beautiful evening so I elected to sit on a lawn chair next to the car. The real reason that I did it was so that the two testosterone units could freely laugh and make comments about the bathroom scenes and such without constantly looking over their shoulder.
