Drive-In Theater Returns … Sorta

It’s a warm summer evening. Children in pajamas run here and there. Adults sit in their car or in lawn chairs nearby. Most people chow down on favorite snacks, whether it’s red licorice or a big tub of buttered popcorn. It’s drive-in movie night in Twin Falls. The scene has been an American entertainment staple since 1933 when the first open-air movie theater opened in Camden, N.J., with admission of 25 cents for a car and another 25 cents for each person inside. It was a long way from today’s outdoor theaters such as the Motor-Vu and Grand-Vu in Twin Falls. The industry’s initial audience lined up in Richard Hollingshead’s driveway to watch images on a bed sheet strung between trees in his backyard/ Steve Kadel , Twin Falls Times-News. More here. (A movie trailer is projected onto the screen before the start of a feature showing recently at the Blue Fox  Drive-In Theater in Oak Harbor, Wash.)

Question: Do you remember the last movie that you saw at a drive-in theater?
