Howard The Duck (1986).
I remember where we sat, on the left side of the theater.
Yes...Drive in's are theaters:
I also vividly remember my mom covering my eyes in the hot tub scene with Lea Thompson.
I remember some sword fighting movie at the drive-in. As for theater, SW.
shareThe Shaggy D.A. (1976)
shareI'm pretty sure it was Sasquatch: The Legend Of Bigfoot (76)
I was 3 or 4 and it scared the hell out of me π
Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang about 1970. We sat on the non-smoking side of the theatre.
shareIt seems unbelievable now that smoking was ever allowed in theatres. Were there ashtrays next to every seat? You might not know, seeing as you sat on the non-smoking side π
shareThe ashtrays were probably built into the arm rest. It's hard to imagine some places that allowed smoking back in the day. We have definitely moved forward.
shareI remember ashtrays being in the armrests, but I also remember them being on the back of the seat in front of you, depending on where you went.
shareOn the backs of seats sounds like a better plan. Unless someone had long hair or a scarf draped over the back of their seat π₯π
shareAnd the seats were always vinyl.
shareTom Thumb (1958) - went to a Saturday afternoon matinee with my older brother and two of his friends.
The film was shown in a huge neighborhood theater that even had a balcony.
Years later, my Junior High School graduation was held there.
Several years after that, it was divided into a four screen multiplex.
I probably went to some kid movies as a young child but Poseidon Adventure is the first one I remember. My aunt and uncle took me to the drive-in thinking I would fall asleep in the car so my parents could take care of my sick sister at home. I watched the whole movie.
share5 years old and my first movie with my Dad was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs :)
