I remember seeing a lot of James Bond movies at the drive in too.
Live and Let Die was my first for non Disney movies at the theater

I went to quite a few drive-in movies, I just don't remember titles.

I bet lots of people would pay a dollar (or the inflation equivalent) to watch a movie that was released 3 months earlier (or more). They just gotta put it in a location that makes sense. Near a college campus would be perfect. |

Looks like they're currently showing Logan, Kong: Skull Island, Hidden Figures, and they're already showing The Circle. |

Probably a Dean Jones Disney movie or Winnie the Pooh That Darn Cat (1965) Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966) The Ugly Dachshund (1966) You have my sympathies. I remember watching those Dean Jones movies at my church as a kid. They had a movie night fairly regularly, and it was always either Dean Jones or Don Knotts movies. The horror.. the horror... |

I'm not sure I could name my first VHS. I can. It was Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jeremiah Johnson. My family got both of them the same Christmas we got our first VCR. |

You poor bastard. This is the equivalent of Return of the Jedi being your first Star Wars. Batman Forever was my first Batman. I remember it well. Saw it with my neighbor. The underrated Batman movie. |

For a while in my childhood I remember them going from 3 to 1 in the state, they may be back up to 3 now. |

While my local dollar theater may have closed, we do have a drive-in that opened up two or three years ago. I've only been once, and it was okay. I'd be a regular if they'd play some classic drive-in films, but all they play is first run movies. They make money in the winter by transforming the snack area into an ice skating rink.

I went to a drive-in one time. It was on a date. My car battery died. I had to get my car jumped while my date froze. We didn't go out after that.

I was a Dean Jones fan, actually. I was 5 or 6 years old. Lol I actually went to a Western movie just because I messed up and confused the name Dean Jones with Dean Martin It was a good movie though. Might have been Rio Bravo or Sons of Katie Elder |

I was talking to my friends about the first movie each of us remembers seeing. I'm not quite sure which came first but mine was either All Dogs Go To Heaven or another Disney movie that nobody's ever heard of called Cheetah. What about you cool cats? Oh I remember Cheetah. I loved that movie when I was a kid. Pretty sure my first theater movie was Sesame Street's Follow That Bird. |
