Quotes
Jon Bokenkamp: If it's the 1900's and you're going to the movies in the summertime, it's hot in that theater. So somebody got this brilliant idea to start showing movies outdoors.

As a child of the...

Drive-in, who went, since my father loved them (and so do I), I was able to enjoy this most American of entertainments. This is an excellent documentary that, in some places, brought a tear to my eye. The Drive-In was a fun place to go and I always enjoyed it. I can still remember nearly every movie I ever saw at the Drive-In and I wish those that are making a comeback last 100 years.
