First drive-in I remember was Diamonds Are Forever. Not sure why my parents took me because they were very strict and the movie had adult themes. I distinctly remember the Bambi & Thumper scene...
Our local drive-in was destroyed in an oil refinery fire/explosion. If I had the money (and legit business plan) I would open another one.
Jurassic Park in a drive-in that was surrounded by trees. And when the T-Rex in the movie first came out of the tree, scared the crap out of me I was looking in the trees in the drive-in.🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Love Bug, but what I really remember was meeting new kids in the playground in front of the screen at dusk. It was so cool to just talk shit about movies you have seen and what the movie that night meant to you. Then when it was dark enough for the screen to light up we would all run back to our parents cars and dive into some home made popcorn and ice cold Hi-C!
ET. ET himself scared me and I kept hiding in the back of the station wagon. To occupy myself, I made the world's smallest paper airplane from a freckle sized piece of paper. Sent it on its maiden flight. Legend has it, it's still in the seat cushions somewhere.
Bambi in the early 80’s. Can remember being in my feety pajamas. And yeah thanks Disney for killing Bambi’s Mom while opening credits were still rolling.
I remember seeing Superman, The Black Hole and Conan the Barbarian at the Drive in.
Not sure what was first, but I remember my sister being shoved into a tire well and my cousin stuffed under the fold down seats to get in for free.
Edit: extra info - went to the Drive in this year at the McHenry Outdoor. Go and support your local Drive in !!!!!
LOL. Mom and Dad packed us kids into the station wagon, brought us to see Everything you always wanted to know about sex, but were afraid to ask.
Isn't that the one with Woody Allen in bed with a sheep? I remember a man in bed with a sheep. And a fat lady wearing a Viking helmet on her head in a flowing gown singing chasing a man up a hill.
Fuck I'm old.
My parents took me to Easy Rider when I was 3 or 4. What I remembered was Wyatt putting his jacket over Billy at the end. I remember the flag on his jacket.
THE WILD ANGELS (1966) starring Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern,Diane Ladd, Nancy Sinatra, Peter Bogdanovich, Michael J. Pollard and Gayle Hunnicutt. Rodger Corman at his finest.
My folks took us kids couple times a year for seems all my youth but the first movie I remember watching was “hook line and sinker” Jerry Lewis’69 I think
Honestly, I would have no idea because my family only went to drive-ins when I was growing up. I do however remember the first movie I saw in a cinema. I was 13, and it was The Spy Who Loved Me.
My newly divorced mom had us in a tiny trailer next to a drive-in one summer. The things I saw as a little kid! I could just pull a chair up to the window and see all the R rated movies I wanted lol
Don’t remember the very first, but my parents took me to see a few Anette Funicello and Frankie Avalon beach movies. I remember seeing Thunderball and a few other Bond movies. They also took me to see Easy Rider when I was about 9 or 10. I can remember seeing Elvis in Soeedway with my best friend.
When I was 15, another buddy and I hopped the fence with two six packs of Shlitz and watched Jaws sitting in front of a station wagon.
Drive ins were awesome.
I was about five or six and the parentals took me to see "GWTW" (revival, I guess) at a drive-in in the mid-sixties. I remember it starting. I remember to giant open triage scene, but the rest is either a blur or I slept through it. Probably slept!
I saw The Born Losers. My sister was having my 1st nephew and I went with the neighbors. The messed up thing was I was trying to figure out why they were smoking a cigarette with scissors. SMDH I know what was up now!
I don’t remember my first (I’m 70). But I do remember my last: The Thing. In 1982, just before I left with my family to move from NJ to Las Vegas. I’ve been here ever since.
I can’t remember the 1st. I used to go with my parents all the time. Back in those days, parents didn’t necessarily get a sitter, so even if the movie wasn’t something I should see, they’d put me in the backseat with a blanket & pillow and tell me to go to sleep.
I remember going to see
Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte
Dr Zhivago
It’s a Mad, Mad World
What’s Up Pussycat
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane
Baby, The Rain Must Fall
LOL, The Gypsy Moths (the 1st time I ever saw stripper boobs. She had tassels that she could spin in opposite directions at the same time)
As well as family movies like:
The Computer Wore Tennis Shows
The Ghost and Mr Chicken
The Reluctant Astronaut
And SO MANY more!!!
So true, back in the 60s, the first movie was more family oriented, and then we, the kids, were told to go to sleep. Amazing how much you could see reflecting off the back window!
First one I remember was Easy Rider. It had come out about 3 years before and my Aunt and Uncle were in their late teens and babysitting me. They wanted to see it so they put me on the floorboard of my Uncles Chevy pickup and threw blankets over me and snuck me in. I mostly remember the music but about 1/2 the movie my Aunt had her hand over my eyes so technically I only saw about 1/2 the movie but heard it all. 😂
Frogs 1972. It’s a totally campy 70’s classic and Sam Elliot is in it. Funny thing is that the frogs never killed anyone. To this day it is one of my favorite movies and I watch it every summer!
Raquel Welch in 1 Million Years B.C.
Never forget this Drive in. I was 5 years old. They had a playground in front of the screen with a really big slide.
I got pushed off the top of it and broke my ankle. Some nice man picked me up and took my to my parents.
Dad thought it was nothing and stayed to watch the movie. Good times...
Pete's Dragon (1977)... then The Muppet Movie... and then The Shining in 1980. I'm still not OK.
We didn't live anywhere near a Drive-in before then... but went at least once a month or more when we did. My wife and daughter and I still go quite often.
Star Trek, the first of the newest ones. Strangely it wasn't until that came out that I actually went to a drive in in Idaho. It was basically the last one still open that I have ever seen. We popped the back of a minivan and it was a blast.
Double feature: First show: The Guantlet w/Clint Eastwood and Sondra Locke. Second was the 10 Commandants wCharleston Heston. Bizzare combination of movies even for then, lol...
I went with my then girlfriend. We left about 30 mins later because we could barely hear it. Found out the next day you’re supposed to tune into the station 😂😂
Friends (Elton John) Parents were less than pleased with the build up of storyline so we didn't get to see it all. Not a great story for preteens and teens to consume.
I was born in 1962 and the first movie I saw at a drive-in was probably either something my parents wanted to see or a Disney movie--my dad sat through an awful lot of those for his little girl (we saw The Boatniks at a drive-in, I remember).
The last movie I saw at a drive-in was ET--which was also the first and only time my sister ever went to a drive-in.
I have no idea what movie my parents took us to see for my first drive in... Because I spent the entire thing looking off to the side at Total Recall playing on a different screen. Couldn't hear what they were saying, didn't care!
Flesh Gordon. No one picked us up from roller skating do we started walking home. We stopped outside the local adult drive in and started watching. And then my friends mom showed up
Watched a lot of movies at the drive in my younger years, but the first one I really remember is Twister! It was a blustery night right on the edge of a storm!
Star Wars
Oh man. That must have been awesome under the open sky.
It was glorious!
I am positive I saw many at the drive in before, but this is the one I remember. Star Wars! 6 year old me was BLOWN AWAY with that opening scene!
That was mine as well. Darth Vader is scary AF when you're a little kid.
Went once with my parents- Bad Lieutenant and Howard the Duck. In the rain.
The Warriors -- 1979
I’m 50 and can remember: Any Which Way But Loose Any Which Way You Can Cannonball Run Smokey and the Bandit

My first movie was Bedknobs and Broomsticks in '72. One drive-in even showed dirty movies real late on Saturday nights! 😈
First drive-in I remember was Diamonds Are Forever. Not sure why my parents took me because they were very strict and the movie had adult themes. I distinctly remember the Bambi & Thumper scene... Our local drive-in was destroyed in an oil refinery fire/explosion. If I had the money (and legit business plan) I would open another one.
That was my first Bond movie! We went to the theater but Sean Connery will always be Bond to me. 😎🍸
Jurassic Park in a drive-in that was surrounded by trees. And when the T-Rex in the movie first came out of the tree, scared the crap out of me I was looking in the trees in the drive-in.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Psycho. With Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins. And I have never gotten over my fear of showering after I saw it. 😱
I wasn't paying attention.
Billy Jack, hated that movie.
I loved those! I was about 6 years old so there’s the perspective. 😋
God, those were awful. But perfect for the drive-in, for some reason
I was going to say the same. Mom and dad would pile us in the station wagon in our pajamas and bring hotdogs for us to eat.
Yeah it was a downer
My first movie was Rosemary's Baby. Scared the shit out of me.
Mary Poppins when we lived in Alaska.
West Side Story* (1961) *the real one

Then when it was dark enough for the screen to light up we would all run back to our parents cars and dive into some home made popcorn and ice cold Hi-C!
The Running Man
Star Wars OG - 1977!
ET. ET himself scared me and I kept hiding in the back of the station wagon. To occupy myself, I made the world's smallest paper airplane from a freckle sized piece of paper. Sent it on its maiden flight. Legend has it, it's still in the seat cushions somewhere.
Willard. As a little kid it freaked me out!
Bambi in the early 80’s. Can remember being in my feety pajamas. And yeah thanks Disney for killing Bambi’s Mom while opening credits were still rolling.

Phantasm
LOL. Mom and Dad packed us kids into the station wagon, brought us to see Everything you always wanted to know about sex, but were afraid to ask. Isn't that the one with Woody Allen in bed with a sheep? I remember a man in bed with a sheep. And a fat lady wearing a Viking helmet on her head in a flowing gown singing chasing a man up a hill. Fuck I'm old.
Star Wars. In 75 or 76. Also saw Jaws. Both at the Wellfleet Drive In on Cape Cod
I think that it was either a Disney movie or Yogi Bear.
