They built a new one in Estill Springs, TN. It has three large screens and a restaurant. The sound comes into your car via FM radio. I've been there once. I live about an hour away from it.

There is a double drive-in theatre still in Springfield, Ohio. Has a screen at either end of the lot and shows different movies but of course you only get the speaker for one. My favorite memory was taking my young kids to a movie as a treat and they were fascinated with sitting in the car and watching without lots of noise and interruptions from the other patrons.

There are sill drive-in theartes
Fun moments for me: I've only been to a drive-in twice.
Once for men in black (original, don't know what other movie wasif there was one) and for evan almighty and then knocked up (went with friends instead of family this time)
during the 2nd time the screen behind us was playing f4 silver surfer so i was constantly turning my head around (couldn't hear anything though) then it played oceans 13 with george clooney but i didn't give a damn about it.
What's funny is it was a big gap between the time when i saw a movie(s) in the drive-in

I loved drive-in's!
There were several in the town where I grew up. A group of us girls would pile into the biggest car and go. We would take blankets and pillows and sit on the hood.
When I was a little kid my Mom and Dad would go and I would wear my PJ's so I could sleep in the back seat.
Thanks for the blast from the past!

Yep we have 1 My husband and I had not been to the drive in for about20 yrs. I wanted to go and we went, but when we got there the speakers where gone but the poles were still standing. So we parked by the pole- movie starts and I cant hear it. I told my husband if this is all the louder it gets we are leaving. Then I told him to go see where the peoples next to us where hearing it from, so he takes a walk comes back and says it sounds like its coming from there car. Well in the mean time I'm becoming irate, so he goes in and ask how do we listen to the movie. well its on your radio. duh we felt stupid. there we are all proped up in the back of the truck with popcorn and no sound

Great question. We still have our neighborhood drive-in.
Fav. story: one summer when I was 21 & semi-homeless living in my car, I had no place to go so went to the drive-in to kill time and saw "The Matrix". I was blown away as I had not expected it to be such a good movie. Too bad the next two films in the series sucked.

Some are still around but they're few and far between. And yes I miss them. I went on my very first date to a drive in theater.

Yes, they still exist. There is one in Lancaster, Ohio. My fondest memory is when My father took me to see Rambo, and I sat in the back glass of our old car to see and I was eating tootsie rolls, I think I was like 4 or 5.
