Back in the early to mid-80s when they "renovated" the dive-in off of Airline near Siegen, my father took us to a double feature of Psycho 2 and American Werewolf in London.
I remember it was humid and there were lots of mosquitos. I also remember the speaker was broken for our slot, so my borhters and I just ran around the place and acted a fool.
In the mid-2000s, I went to a theater in a small town in Wyoming. It was July, but once the sun went down, the weather was amazing -- there were mountains in the back ground and instead of speakers, you tuned in through the radio. It was a blast.

Had definitely seen its better days towards the end; if they hadn't demolished it it would have collapsed on its own.

When I lived it Hawaii I saw Back to the Future Part III at a drive-in, I might have been 10 years old at the time.
I have to admit I found myself watching Lionheart on one of the adjacent screens

Because this board is making me feel really old.
I went as a child, at least. If that helps you.
(ETA: I think there's a drive-in still operating in Gatesville, TX, if you're feeling nostalgic.)

I miss the one in Lafayette and I'd love to see them come back, but I can't think of a worse business venture. I've seen them fail for years. They should add it to the list of classic blunders
1. Never start a land war in Asia
2. Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
3. Never open a nostalgic, drive-in movie theater.

Used to hit up the one on Airline Hwy by the old Troop A.

I've been to the one in Dothan twice in the last year. 1st run movies double features. $7/adult. Tune in the sound on the radio and you can talk during the show.
