My first drive inn experience was watching Warriors and then Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Both awesome movies.

I don't remember my first, but I think my last was the asteroid double feature. Deep Impact and Armageddon.

The last summer before Hub Oil blew up the drive in theater.

Watching Twister for the first time, and the drive in scene, at the Drive in, was an experience.

I seem to recall The Warriors being on TV a lot during the late 80s - and I was quite into it. I probably haven't seen it all the way through. Now I want to.

I watched the low budget Australian horror movie I.C.U which is so terrible it's unintentionally hilarious. The acting is so over the top and the plot just doesn't make any sense. It's basically trying to be a cross between Saw and Rear Window. 3 kids are spying on their neighbors while staying in an Australian high rise and one thinks he saw a murder take place. The only reason why I picked it up when I saw it at Goodwill was because it was the film debut of the one and only Margo Robbie. It's also super OOP and goes for a mint on Amazon.This is joining The Room and Troll 2 in my so bad it's good list

Poor Things is definitely pretty wild. Totally unexpected. Interesting visually, lots of different ideas explored (not 100% landed as well as others, but still good), and quite hilarious with great performances.

It's like if Wes Anderson and Tim Burton made a porno.

I watched Kaley Cuoco's new one, Role Play in the background on the too F'in cold to drive to work day, I thought it was pretty serviceable background noise, a lot better than the 5.5 rating it has, but certainly no masterpiece.

Mine was a double feature of a weird Future-Cop-Robots-Turn-Evil movie with Tom Selleck called Runaway and Silverado.

I've never heard of this movie, and it looks absolutely preposterous.

I'm in.

My first was the original Planet Of The Apes with Charlton Heston at the Stampede Drive In. Still remember the ending where he rounds the corner on the beach to see the Statue Of Liberty in the sand. One of the best endings of all time.

Hey spoilers!

My first drive in experience was Star Wars. It blew my little mind.

Yeah, geez, spoiler-alert! Next you're probably going to tell us that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father, and that Charles Foster Kane's childhood sled was named 'Rosebud'.

Oh yes. I have this film locked and loaded. My wife, shockingly, expressed no interest, so once she goes to bed...I'm doing this.
