spree: High land prices and short seasons make it tough for drive-ins but this may be a revival.
We have one drive-in with six screens left in my metro-area. Although it is in a somewhat seedy area (the federal pen is down the street and I could pick up some crack on the way to the show if I wanted to) we go almost every weekend. I love the drive-in and it would be a real shame if they disappeared entirely. What I really like is two first-run movies for $6 and I can sit outside and drink beer and smoke ciggies to my heart's content. I have great memories of the drive-in from my childhood and early teens -- my son loves the place and I hope it is around when he is ready for his first backseat grope.
Last weekend I happened to glance over at the car next to us and two young adults (sheesh, when did I get old?) were, uh, going at it in the car. Not a big deal unless you consider that we were watching Nemo for fuck's sake -- they coulda picked a better flick to fuck at with less kiddies around.

Reminds me of the time that my family went to watch Used Cars at the drive-in... My dad had assured my mom that it was only rated R because of language, so she was mortified to see women dancing on top of cars with pasties on. I spent much of the movie with mom's hand over my eyes.
Anyone else have enjoyable memories of watching bad movies with their folks? My only other one was my own mortification at the nudity in Flashdance when I saw that in the theater with my (then divorced) dad. I was in the midst of puberty at the time...
