For all you lovers of the drive-in theater, here's a website for locating drive-ins in any state. The website also has lots of great pics, info, and links to theater websites.
You can tailor your search to ones that are open or closed. The closed ones can sometimes be interesting to visit too, from a historical perspective. It's amazing how many open drive-ins there still are around the country.
A good site!!!!!!! (Too bad there isnt anything worth seeing @ them now!)
We have a local drive-in, and unlike when I was a kid in the '70s and '80s, it shows first run movies that you would see in a traditional cinema. When I was younger, drive-ins showed B movies or movies that were long out of the cinema.
There is one is San Jose, CA, near where I live. I took my girl, who is from Peru and never heard of such a thing, and she was amazed.
God, I miss the drive-ins. When I was a kid, I saw everything from Aliens, Indiana Jones, Gremlins, Streets of Fire...and of course I would look out the back window and see Texas Chainsaw Massacre II and Day of the Dead like I wasn't supposed to.
There's one 45 minutes from where I live in Ennis Texas. It's quite popular. It used to have three screens, but now it has six. The last movie I was there was The Departed.
We had dozens of drive-ins while I was growing up in San Antonio, Texas. The lone survivor was kept open seasonally. It was being vandalized in recent years. The vandals finally did enough damage the current owners threw in the towel.
Eventually, the City acquired it and saved the screen and it's marquee. The property was used to build a library and some offices. A projection house was erected with plans to have neighborhood movie nights. Sort of an amphitheatre set up. Now other options are being considered. This is how it looks today...
Great place to see a slasher flick and a boob when you were 14...internet wasn't around yet.
