Miss Drive in movies?

[banditpowdercoat]

Ohh man, I loved the drive in movies. Pretty much ended when I was a lad. I remember hiding in the Volkswagen van, the pop top kind, and sneakin into the drive in in Summerland when I was 6. I think now a days, with the surround sound etc, no one want to go back to the crapppy speaker sound system. I know I dont go to theatres because usually my home has a better surround system ( have a 7.1 and would never look back)

didnt the drive ins have a clip you could simply attach to your car antenna? my car has 5000.00 worth of audio equipment so sound is not an issue my house stereo well lets just say its almost unrivaled

I've been to the new drive in they built in Aldergrove and its actually quite nice. I think the owners were the ones that owned the Hillcrest in Cloverdale before they sold it and tore it down to put in a strip mall and town houses . I remember when they used to do a classic car cruise in with classic films the night before the Langley cruise in car show.

Ah how the time flies by.

Been a long time since I was to hillcrest.. my first experience there was Star Wars in '77! I think the last time I was there was for Jurasic Park.

I moved from BC over 10yrs ago now.. I didn't even know the hill was gone.

But keep you eyes open folks.. I think we might see a comeback of the local drive in. I know I had a client who was thinking about one near here a couple years ago.

Wow...now this could date some of us. I couldnt say what the first drive in movie I watched was....but it was black and white for sure. As a teen I am sure we didnt watch any movies but we were there every Friday night. The party, fights, drinking, wild women (ok...little girls) sneaking in.......all good memories.

Man I miss the old drive-ins. Used to be a few of them in Calgary and when Starry and I (I am Mrs. Starry) started dating in '97 there was still one left. We went to it at least twice a week. Could pick up supper on the way, and have dinner and a couple of movies for pretty cheap. Could do lots of cuddling in the car too!

Day Light savings killed the drive throughs here, when you cant start the first movie till 11:00 not many people will go.
