why dont movie theaters provide bottle warmers and automotive help, yet they charge 11.00 a flick and 12 dollars for popcorn, when back in those days movies were a five cent deal and gave you all that shit? wtf happened to you america?
2:56 I'm sure some drive-in's needed to emphasize the ratings given how radically the movies could change. I've an old circular of a particular drive-in's schedule for the summer months in the '70's, and it wasn't uncommon to go from "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" (Rated G) one night to "Swinging Swedish Schoolgirls" (Rated X) the next.
Actually, M became GP for a few years before it turned into PG. This was preceded by "Suggested For Mature Audiences". Thank you for posting this memory filled tribute to the drive in intermission. I always missed a portion of the mpovies because I never wanted to miss what I consider a highlight...these classsic snack bar ads. The drive ins today that don't bother to show the clips just don't get it.
Thank you so much for posting these vintage, very entertaining clips from drive in intermissions. By the way, if you type into search: tri way drive in plymouth........included is a pretty good assortment of intermission clips up on the drive in screen.
Slept over my friend Randy's house back in the fall of '69. That night his parents took us and his little brother to see Night of the Living Dead at the Blackwood Drive-in, NJ. Enroute they bought a bottle of whiskey and drank it in the car during the film. Randy & I, only 8 y.o., shivered outside on the gravel in the October air watching a zombie movie that would get an R rating today. Past midnight his parents drove home (drunk), with no belts or child seats. They'd be arrested for it now.
Unfortunately, that "Stop Daylight Savings Time" really was a blow for the drive-in industry. According to the Cinderella Twin Drive-in website, DST was partly responsible for over 90% of drive-in closures as films couldn't begin until after sunset; a summer film would have to wait until after 9:00 for instance in most locations.
@torkerbmx I remember that. What's really crazy is that there are 2 cases of that having EVER happened. It's like, instead of punishing the people who killed kids, punish everyone ever, and that's fucking insane.
@Sinisterene The use of the word "faggot" is hate speech, plain and simple. If you use it, then you're a hater. And I'm sure you can find lawn darts being sold today on ebay. Do us a favor and step in front of one, the next time you play.
2 - i.e. you. You're a faggot, regardless of sexual preference.
3 - you could fuck a woman 365 days a year but you'd still be a faggot.
I'd go on a spiel about discrimination and prejudice, and another about the legal and economic efficiency of (as you claim) a non-ban, but you're a faggot
The line-up of 1963 cigarettes at :38? Most of them are gone- including Brown & Williamson's "Life"; Lorillard's "York"; American Tobacco's "Herbert Tareyton", "Montclair" and "Duke"; Liggett & Myers' "Oasis"; and Philip Morris' "Philip Morris Commander" and "Alpine" (that's "Marlboro Menthol" these days). In fact, American Tobacco was "swallowed" by Brown & Williamson, who merged with R.J. Reynolds several years ago. Liggett's still around, but Philip Morris makes Chesterfield & L&M today.
That's veteran announcer Art Gilmore (one of the most identifiable voices in movie trailers) at 2:47 describing the "new" ratings system that went into effect in 1968..."M" was eventually replaced by "PG" {Parental Guidance}, which is still used today.
One time back in the 50's I remember there was this guy with a huge 59 Caddy convertible,we were just adorable teens back then and always strapped for cash,so we waited until this guy started putting the moves on his mistress and while he was busy doing his impression of an octopuss we siphoned all the gas out of his tank into our DeSoto.
Boy we laughed so hard all the way home imagining that old Gomer running out of gas a few blocks after leaving!
Ahh the halcyon days of youth!..I can still remember those late nights at the drive in .putting bullet holes in the screen during intermissions,cutting the valve stems on patrons cars while their owners made out like monkeys in heat. And what about that time we stole this guys hubacps during the film and sold them for popcorn and jujube money!
We still have a drive in here where I live and it never ceases to amaze me how much fun it still is to go. Its pure americana. I remember that they showed intermission stuff like this from the 50's and to me, thats the best part of the expericance. Its like going to a movie was a grand event back then, when friends and family really bonded. I hope they never go completly out.
@ryano2099 You're right. Some years ago we hosted two 15-year-old guys from former Soviet Georgia -- one an ethnic Georgian, the other from enemy Abkhazia -- for a summer weekend. We took them to Bengie's Drive-In up in Easton, MD, and OMG did they get a U.S. culture and history lesson there. Baltimore bottle- blondes teenage chicks in really short skirts with low-cut tops and tattoos, all the snacks they could eat, and arcade games (nothing special to us, but to them great). Diplomacy.
I remember drive in movies very well, but I can't seem to remember ever watching the movies. My girlfriends and I were too focused on other activities.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This had to be created by a man. At 40 seconds, "Remember, babies get hungy, too." No kidding...ever had one around when they're hungry. They let know know!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back in the day...make that the late 1980's, me and my friends used to get a kick out of the old intermission reels that they'd play at the 3 screen NORTHSIDE in Dewitt Michigan just North of Lansing. Originally the nORTHSIDE was a sngle screen, but, near the end they added two very small screens. Anyways, they had a wide range of clips they chose from. The Leprecon. The dancing popcorn. The clocks always ran "10 minutes" but we clocked one at 23 min. and one at 18. The NORTHSIDE is now gone.
man...i remember all of these. i do miss the drive in. at least you had nobody sneezing on you, cell phones,noisy kids and if you were lucky one might have enjoyed a handjob!
This was way back when there G, M, R, PG. Of course the age bar's higher for R,17 not 16, and X became nC17 and then dsiappeared. Andf it's always good to hear John Seely's Capitol Hi=Q stock music....:)
I remember the GMRX segment being shown at The Lonsdale Twin Drive In in Cumberland,RI during the summer of 1969. It was a family night out. Yhe movies were Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Yours Mine And Ours.
M was first replaced by GP in January 1970 and then by PG in February 1972. PG-13 was added in the mid-80s. NC-17 replaced X in 1990. See the excellent documentary This Film is Not Yet Rated for more history of the MPAA.
Nowadays drive-ins have pretty much gone the way of the 8-track tape. It's too bad there are only a relatively few left. As a child, I remember it being a fun experience.
X back then meant that you were watching Deep Throat,The Devil in Miss Jones or Behind the Green Door. Ah yes...watchin' porn and feasting on some tasty Castleberry's pit cooked barbecue sandwiches while some naughty naughty was going on! Now that's livin'!
I agree with albear972 about the vital message at 2:00 -- although "upside-down time" sounds like it might be kind of interesting...
Anyway, I'm busy forming my own local Temporality Jacobin Club to, uh, turn the clock back on this heinous & inhuman DST imposition. Bring your own burning torches & pitchforks; we attack at midnight (give or take an hour, I can't remember which). Cheers, great vid.
They sure were doc. I was born in 1957 and even I think I was born too late. I would have loved to been a teenager back in the 50s. What a great time.
It's weird because in the movie "Three" with Sam Waterston, they showed Sam Waterston's bare bottom and "berries"...in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" they showed that girl topless while she posed for that painting? In "Jenny" they showed Marlo Thomas' (supposedly) bare breast while she breast fed--they were all rated "M" so I'm wondering if there wasn't a little leeway for a while? If "M" was just like "PG" then, for a time, any kid could get in and watch films with open, incidental nudity?
A friend of mine worked in the projection booth at the drive-in where I grew up, and I would sometimes walk back there and say hello. The floor looked like a cutting room floor, littered with parts of film from all the splice jobs he'd done. For reasons I can't explain, it was fun to pick up a piece of film and hold it to the light, and see the characters in each individual frame.
not bad!! but "save standard time"?? hold on a sec. i am 34 yrs old and don't even recall that being such a big deal back in the day. in fact i *love* daylight saving time and appreciate the sun setting at 8pm. :)
I remember the mosquito coils well, and was just thinking about them. If I'm not mistaken, the coil itself would mount on a sharp, pointed piece of tin. Just enough to put out someone's eye. But I miss them anyway.
Why does shit suck now, not everything, but seen things like this makes me wanna get in my time machine and go get everyone stoned since marijuana back then was as potent as cigarettes. I just wanna have a good time in the 40's or 30's or maybe the Roaring 20's. 50, 60, and 70 would be fun too but I wanna see black and white in color. Maybe take a flat screen with me too so they could experience high def.
lol your car dies right at the exit/entrance, then you have to crap out all that rotten meat, and you remember you are late for work cuz those bastards turned back the god damn clock
Heh, heh... priceless! And you couldn't hear the movie because the carload of kids next to you wouldn't shut up. Then you finally get home about fifty bucks poorer than when you started out, because you took the wife and kids along. By the way, do you think they appreciated what you went through for them? NOOOO!!!!
Videos like this help me experience a taste of what my parents did when they were young. I love the idea that I am watching what my parents did all those years ago because I get a feel for their childhood/teen years. Thanks
all you can do is watch. to actually engage in these activities you must have a willing partner.judging by the number of comments you leave, i would guess your partners could be easily counted on one hand. i bet it is a strong hand with quite a grip.
This video is awesome! Here in Knoxville, they have re-opened several old drive-in theaters that had been shut down since the late 70's. My personal favorite...our Parkway Drive In actually showed some of these short films. They showed the one for Castleberry's and actually sell it at the concessions stand. They also showed the one about candy and the one about having car trouble...to contact the concession area. Thanks for posting this film for people who haven't experienced the drive-in.
Yeah they used to say that DST helped to kill drive ins. Also, I am shocked that the "X" rating was once 16 for the minimum age admitted! There still ARE drive in theaters here in southern CA :)
This seems to have been from 1965 when Daylight Savings Time was being mandated by Federal law of how it is to be practiced. Drive-ins were threatened by the advent of nationwide DST which before then was a state decision. The extra sunlight after 7PM would push their show start time later to 9PM and thus make it unfriendly for families with children, which by then had to go to bed. This is a significant reason why drive-ins started to close even before cable or THX sound systems.
Oh honey, you could take your baby to the drive in and when it cried, you wouldn't disturb anybody else. And you could breast feed. The kids would bed down in the big back seat, and you and spouse could enjoy the show. Remember, this was when you only had 3 choices on TV...if you could get a good signal.
Tarantino said there was supposed to be some hot dog ad in the film that was so disgusting that you never wanted to eat a hot dog again. Where the hell was it?
Considering this film is from a different era, people tended to accept these ads and eat the food mentioned because it was part of the drive in experience.
The standard time idea is great. Most of the intermissions regarding the government actually persuaded the viewer in to RESEARCHING their political records!
unless i missed something, Indiana doesn't do daylight savings time either. I think I had heard something in the news about them changing though, I'm not sure if they did or not.

Yes, in that era they would "try to help", that would mean calling the local garage, remember that the cellphone was not invented yet.
Not that it matters, unlike the past, very few can work on the modern automobile anyway.
Baby bottle warmers have gone cordless, no longer a need.
In fact, there are now car coffee makers, and fridges, and,,,everything but the drive-in.
Now, you can spend upwards of $40, and hear screaming babies, in the discomfort of a modern movie house.

A friend of mine worked in the projection booth at the drive-in where I grew up, and I would sometimes walk back there and say hello. The floor looked like a cutting room floor, littered with parts of film from all the splice jobs he'd done. For reasons I can't explain, it was fun to pick up a piece of film and hold it to the light, and see the characters in each individual frame.

Because the thing that always hits the spot on a hot, sticky evening at the drive-in is a cup of mouth-meltingly hot four-hour-old coffee...

Our local drive-in was torn down to make way for a new "server farm" run by Google (which also owns YouTube, where you're seeing this video).
Sick irony, huh?

"Pic" coils. You can still buy them. I use them when I go camping.
sideshowcarny 3 years ago 3
I remember the mosquito coils well, and was just thinking about them. If I'm not mistaken, the coil itself would mount on a sharp, pointed piece of tin. Just enough to put out someone's eye. But I miss them anyway.

Why does shit suck now, not everything, but seen things like this makes me wanna get in my time machine and go get everyone stoned since marijuana back then was as potent as cigarettes. I just wanna have a good time in the 40's or 30's or maybe the Roaring 20's. 50, 60, and 70 would be fun too but I wanna see black and white in color. Maybe take a flat screen with me too so they could experience high def.

Heh, heh... priceless! And you couldn't hear the movie because the carload of kids next to you wouldn't shut up. Then you finally get home about fifty bucks poorer than when you started out, because you took the wife and kids along. By the way, do you think they appreciated what you went through for them? NOOOO!!!!

Videos like this help me experience a taste of what my parents did when they were young. I love the idea that I am watching what my parents did all those years ago because I get a feel for their childhood/teen years. Thanks

all you can do is watch. to actually engage in these activities you must have a willing partner.judging by the number of comments you leave, i would guess your partners could be easily counted on one hand. i bet it is a strong hand with quite a grip.

This video is awesome! Here in Knoxville, they have re-opened several old drive-in theaters that had been shut down since the late 70's. My personal favorite...our Parkway Drive In actually showed some of these short films. They showed the one for Castleberry's and actually sell it at the concessions stand. They also showed the one about candy and the one about having car trouble...to contact the concession area. Thanks for posting this film for people who haven't experienced the drive-in.

were the against daylight savings time back in what ever year this is from??
TiberiusStorm 4 years ago
This seems to have been from 1965 when Daylight Savings Time was being mandated by Federal law of how it is to be practiced. Drive-ins were threatened by the advent of nationwide DST which before then was a state decision. The extra sunlight after 7PM would push their show start time later to 9PM and thus make it unfriendly for families with children, which by then had to go to bed. This is a significant reason why drive-ins started to close even before cable or THX sound systems.

Re: Babies get hungry too. That's why they invented breastfeeding. Who would bring a crying baby to a drive-in anyhow?
UglySean 4 years ago
Oh honey, you could take your baby to the drive in and when it cried, you wouldn't disturb anybody else. And you could breast feed. The kids would bed down in the big back seat, and you and spouse could enjoy the show. Remember, this was when you only had 3 choices on TV...if you could get a good signal.

Considering this film is from a different era, people tended to accept these ads and eat the food mentioned because it was part of the drive in experience.
