I have, but it has been 21 years. It was Tim Burton's Batman. I feel asleep in the middle of it.

What about everyone else?

Yes, I usually go to make-out point afterwards.

Seriously though, they still have those around?

The last time I was at one it was to see Star Trek VI when I was 8 years old. That theater cloased down about a year later.

Yes, as a small kid I saw Ben-Hur with my mom and dad at one. Cool experience.

As a teenager I saw double-show of Animal House and Reefer Madness whilst getting drunk with friends.

Good memories but alas those theatres are long gone.

Once in high school...Had to drive way out of town to get there, but a buddy and I were dating these girls that lived near there. I think the movie playing was Chicken Run...Don't remember too much about it, actually.

I did, but I was so young I don't remember it. The theater is still there, but everything is covered in graffiti now because it's abandoned.

No, the sound is broadcast over AM radio. Each screen gets its own frequency.

Wow really? They've come a long way. I just remember the old days when there was a speaker on a pole next to your ride.

In this case, some guy looked at his corn field, and decided he could put up screens in each corner and erect a large projector house in the center.

Yeah I went to the Cherry Bowl drive-in. It is in the northern part of the Lower Penninsula in Michigan.

Was awesome too, even if they were bad movies we had seen. They had a putt-putt golf course so we played that while waiting for it to get dark.

Sadly we don't have one. I wish we had an outdoors movie theater around here. I remember they did a park showing once about 3 dollars a head brought a blanket and my own snacks just laid there and enjoyed the movie with the stars shining above. It was real nice but they do that like once a year.

There used to be one pretty close to my house, but as far as I know it was never used in all the time it stood there. Eventually, it got torn down and replaced with a church.

Anyhow, Russ Meyer movies are awesome, do you remember "Faster, pu*sycat!Kill! Kill!"....classic

It's called Drive-In Invasion at the Starlight Six; apparently it's still going on, so hey, maybe a roadtrip is called for. The last one I went to was in 2002 or 2003 And AFBrat77, naturally, Faster Pussycat was shown at their very first festival :)
