Drive-In Theatres
Ok guys & gals, what was the first movie you saw in a drive-in? For me, it was "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" in the early 60's (St. Pete, FL). This event should be a signature within your memory banks, as you had never experienced this before. For me, it was the big screen, the brand new experience, the amount of big actors, the action scenes, the comedy, and those big palm trees in the shape of a 'W'.

I saw that same movie at a drive-in...it was 1963
 I do remember seeing most of the Elvis movies from the back seat of my uncles car...he and my aunt always took me to drive-in movies when I was a kid. I may not have paid close attention to all of the movies but damn, that snack bar was a pretty cool place for a bottomless pit like I was back then J.R.

Dial M for Murder with my parents me thinks. Don't remember watching many movies at the drive in after the age of going with the folks.
I do remember having the stuffing in the back seat of my VW catch on fire from the 6V battery underneath it while making out.

No way I could answer this accurately, because I'm sure I was too young to remember it.

Dr. Strangelove-
Man I miss the drive-ins.  There are a couple up here in the Dakotas, but neither is less than 100 miles away.Gonna borrow a computer projector, Proxima-type deal, this summer and have a "drive-in" type movie experience in the back yard for the grandson. I'll project it on the side of the house, put an amp and speakers out, and make some popcorn and hot dogs. I know it won't be the same, but it'll still be fun.  Mike

I have no idea what the first was, that was a very long time ago (I am 55). But one that we went to often when I was but a wee child is still in operation on the original 66 Hwy, still called the 66 Drive-In.

Sure..."The Incredible Mr. Limpet" at the Fun-Lan DriveIn in Tampa, Florida. Wow, that was a long time ago! The Fun-Lan had all sorts of gimmicky (but way cool) promotions and events. They had many "dusk to dawn" horror movie showings, but I was too young to attend. Oh well...

It's been too long to remember the first for me. Sure was fun as a kid growing up and even more fun later as a teenager.
 Scottsdale 6 Drive-In Theaters are still in operation. The only ones I know of anymore in the Phoenix metro area.

I remember it well back in the 60s at the Starlight Drive-In with my mom & dad. We saw "The Blob" & "East of Eden." It was only a buck a car load back then. Many trunks got stuffed during that hay day. My dad had just got a brand spanking new white 1963 Pontiac Bonneville.
Great thread for bringing back some fond memories of old Tyler Texas. Rome
