This isn't about the first movie at a Drive-In, but related.

TCM had a run of "biker" films this weekend. One of them was "The Born Losers" which is the first "Billy Jack" film.

I remember seeing this as a new movie at the Drive-In with my brother. We would have been in his VW beetle.

I DVR'd the movie and watched it last night. That was some pretty heady stuff back in the day. Elizabeth James was not hard to look at! I figure she's about 60 years old now.

My favorite Drive-In growing up was the Magnolia Drive-In in Charleston SC. It was so named for a huge magnolia tree out front. I saw lots of movies there through the years, both with my brother and later in my own car, either with friends or a date.

Eventually, it closed and the property was sold as valuable commercial property. Rick Hendrick has one of his many Chevrolet dealerships on that site now.
