No way I remember. My earliest recollection was a James Bond Double Feature. Even at that I can't remember if it was Goldfinger and Thunderball or Thunderball and You Only Live Twice.

 Japan wouldn't allow the u.s. to license the likeness. My friend is a Godzilla addict, he owns every movie, vhs, dvd, collectible's. Japan needs to release a new version without the subtitles, but I doubt that will ever happen. We have Star Wars and Star Trek. Japan has Godzilla. We can make similar movies, just can't use the likeness. I forgot the name of the movie that was released alittle while ago. They filmed it all from New York with camcorders??? Statue of liberty head fell to the ground. hmmmm. The director stated that was his portrayal of a U.S. Godzilla. We can't remake Godzilla in our image, there's only 1.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in 1969 at some Drive Inc whose name has faded from my memory on Long Island, NY. Recall seeing the Abominable Dr Phibes at the same place and some monster movie. There were others, but I cannot recall them.
Later on down here, I saw Airport 75, Jaws, and The Eiger Sanction. Fun times. I keep meaning to plan a trip around one of the remaining drive ins somewhere out there.

"The Absent Minded Professor". 1962 I believe? From the back seat of my dad's new Fairlane.

Six years old in my parent's Pontiac Sunbird, I saw: Revenge of the Nerds II. Now, you can't do much worse than see this movie (Well, you could see Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation, or Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love.) but to mind, it was great. I was really happy that Ogre made friends with the Nerds.
Saw it at the Columbia Drive-In. Open for many decades, it closed about five years ago. They still had the trailer with film gear in it for awhile, as they moved it to the York fairgrounds to do shows on an inflatable screen. Despite doing great business there, I saw it all go up on Ebay awhile back.

The Born Losers
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.

There are actually two drive ins still in operation within a 20 mile distance from me. Once each summer my son and I head to one when there is a movie we are both wanting to see playing. Tons of great snack food at their concession stand from ice cream to popcorn to burgers.

I know for sure it was a Jerry Lewis film (perhaps "The Patsy"?). The drive in was kitty corner from where Rolling Stone records was in Chicago/Harwood Hts. We still have one drive in left around here; the Cascade in West Chicago.
