When was the last time you've been to one?

I don't know there is just something about watching a movie from your car. These are definitely something that there should be more off (Drive-In movie theaters).

Anyone remember Joe Bob Briggs?

Never. We didn't have any in Brazil, and once I moved to Canada I never got around to going to one. It's on my bucket list though.

When I was little, we had two different drive-ins in my area: the Victory, which was a single screen as I recall; and the Starlight, which was at least a double. They are both long gone, regrettably. The Victory was the first casualty of "progress": the land was sold to some church with ambitious plans of building some mega-complex, but it fell through and last I saw, the lot was still vacant after 15 some years. The Starlight went not long after that and I think it was redeveloped into an office park Crying or Very sad

That was back home in Wisconsin. Here around Phoenix, I have no idea if there are any or where they are... first there would have to be a movie worth seeing, however...

For me here in So Cal we have two in our general vicinity...both are multi-screen and its near to impossible to see a movie unless you camp out most of your Friday or Saturday.

Near Phoenix you have the Scottsdale 6 http://www.drive-ins.com/theater/aztscot

As far as the movies go...no movie seen at a drive in was really worth beans anyway (one of my best memories at a drive-in was seeing "Total Recall"

G, if you can give me a hint on where in CA you are I can find one for you as well.

I haven't thought about drive-in in a looonnng time, lol. When I was a kid we used to go all the time. Lots of 70's B movies for sure. Some really good memories for sure. The last one I would have saw was around 1983. The shame is there is a drive-in about 40 minutes from my house.
