DRIVE IN MOVIE ADS FROM THE 50,s and 60,s

[voltaman33]

I love the bbq ad.

[jaycody9]

Hot Chocolate, it's a beverage AND a food!

[JohnMGilbert]

Drive-ins were slowly making a comeback until the digital revolution. Hollywood will no longer make film prints after 2013 and digital projectors can't fill that big a screen from that diatance. R.I.P. drive-ins!

[Peschi123]

FU U.ASS.A in other countries mor fun at this time

[voltaman33]

Awesome especially James River BBQ song.

[Milesprower1100]

It didn't look like he enjoyed that burger @ 2:31

[ShinobiGarth]

how is hot chocolate a food?

[dajlbshow]

Once I saw the pizza, why did they put only a slice? And the barbeque sandwiches r called sloppy joes now

[4theluvofpete]

My high school boyfriend so ripped off the speaker once. He was so embarrassed. LOL

[missy12061]

i hated to get to the drive- in late, if we did, i had to walk in front of the other cars to get to thr snack bar

[ALEG0Man360]

[dltanner99]

Drive-in movie novel  The Dare Island Enigma see video book trailer

[nakedbogan]

the sweets look so much better back in those days...

[Indieotto]

Is there a hippie couple at 0:52?

[younghoss]

I love 1.07, "adds to your personal comfort....cigarettes!"

Never mind the kids in the car that are choking, getting watery eyes and are also breathing your carcinogens too.

[electraglider01]

Some interesting intermission clips to entice moviegoers to visit the concession stand....some of you may remember these. Some might not if they and their date were in the back seat of their parents' Buick being naughty....

[texasghost]

Wow..that James River Beef can with the black guy on there would get complaints for sure.

[zekepig]

@texasghost They still sell that stuff in supermarkets today -- with that label even!

[JohnMGilbert]

Boy! I grew up on these, The three with just music, plucked strings, really take me back. It seems like yesterday that I was running a roll of quarters from the box-office to the concession.

[murraymae]

Wonderful. Brings back such memories. The Vermont, the Centenela, the Compton, all of the other theaters. We'd put on our jammies in the daytime and drive to the drive in, I dont think our parents ever realized how wonderful that experience was for the kids!

Thanks for these clips!

[SqueeGeeGir]

that ice cream doesn't look very appetizing....

[dustyduty]

Precious Memories. The good ol days.

[Setebos]

First films I ever saw were at drive-ins with my folks. The Chief and the Burnet, both in Austin (and, sadly, both long torn down and replaced strip centers).

[smr61754]

Drive in movies had the BEST food!

[bwild61]

There are several drive in theaters in full operation in eastern Tn.

[taxingtexan]

The hot chocolate ad must have been more popular during the winter. It would be sodas in the summer.

[HunterMann]

Thanks for all of the great old drive-in intermission ads! I am trying to find some of these on 16mm film. They never seen to come up on e B a y... The drive-in sure did define summer for me in my youth. It was the Moonlight Drive-In Theater in Bellingham, WA Don;t stop rockin', HM

[PVG123TV]

1:47 Lol when vegitarins were a thing of the future.

[Realmusicisgood909]

LOTS OF PRETTY PICKLES

[alanjenk1]

notice how small the portions where back then ?

[NikeAurrs45]

dont get half the shit now a days hot chcolate ice cream cones what bullshit movies are now-a-days only good films to come out now a days are by eastwood scorsese and speilberg everybody else either makes bullshit or tries horribly to copy one of the three that i listed.

P.S. I'm not a film hater i like films of all genres but when you go to the theatre today or tommorow your mostly seeing the same shit that you've seen in another movie. just think about that.

[CosmosPrivateer]

If you can remember having only about 4 or 5 channels on your TV at home with no color you can remember this video.

[xpogolove]

oh my gawd...what a classic...loved it brought back lots of memories. thank you! Pizza ..pizza ...pizza!

[phizgp]

"We have lots of pretty pickles waiting for you..."

2:40

[jetsam50000]

I want a cigarette vending machine.

[thesixtiesguy]

No way. Smithfield BBQ. I remember this ad from the Super 17 Drive in, Portsmouth Virginia in the mid sixties. This is great. Thank you.

[RETROGEMS]

@thesixtiesguy

I remember eating Smithfield barbecue as a kid...I'm from Virginia and it could be found at the supermarkets there. It was pretty good!

[buggyiscool]

i went to a drive in theater a couple years ago, its a totally different experience than the normal movies, its awesome!

[buggyiscool]

3:06 i bet people started freaking out like "holy shit! the chips are moving on their own!!!!" jk jk

[byw613]

Wow this stuff is more older then me.

[Tim22410]

At 2:36.....PYSCHO KILLER!!!

[unclaimedtreas]

It was hot enough watching a drive in movie in Jacksonville, FL back in the

70's. I can't imagine watching one in the summertime in 2009. The humidity...oy vey!

[hofnerman1]

SmithField pork on a bun @1:40 is so racist. Look at the can. lol

[voodazz]

Holy shit! The dude had a stroke at 2:31

[myturbnzdirty]

I would do the chick at 5:30. Too dam cute!!

[sakal88]

yeah, do her that 90 y old puss

[harpo103]

what is that tune from :50-1:07?

[dudemantwo]

The voice of the man sounds like Johnny Olson...of the Price Is Right...

[dudemantwo]

Isn't the can...very old fashioned? I wonder if they can get away with that now?

[dudemantwo]

The voices...sound very midwestern...and conservative...

[scaramoochscaramooch]

bet those corndogs were the 'bomb!!!!!!'

popcorn probably had 'real' butter

[dudemantwo]

What is the hair-do called? The two blonde ladies...

[silenceinastorm12]

i thought that one commercial with the bbq sandwich was school house rock for a second haha

[NeumannAlfred]

very interesting, thank you for posting. seems so far away....

[MrUnidyne]

My parents could never understand why these were my favorite part of the Drive-In movie program. I went to a Drive-In last year and they didn't have any of these type of films. I was disappointed.

[kbbcoop]

Same Here!!! Last time i went to the drive in with my 10 year old son I was waiting for the intermission ads! They Never CAME! BOOOHOOO!!! I loved them as a kid!

[DeathMechanism88]

@MrUnidyne in pueblo,co we have a classic drive inn

[08aburns]

the intermission ads are my fave part about goin to the drive-in. i love old commercials.

[vsb568]

I wish it was still like this now ... things were so much better and the men respected the women ... and the same for the women now its the total opposite its sad then theres the economy .

[MPVideoArts]

@vsb568 yes the men respect the women as long as they didn't work and did what they said. what a wonderful world

[MiracleMile90]

@MPVideoArts: Oh, I don't think that was true for everybody...................le­t's face it, generalizations are never truly useful in understanding anyone :-(.

[stokepogue]

This one is the best

[stokepogue]

These are the best

[Eewgew]

Thank you soo mush for posting it. I love This stuff :)

[789trebor]

Pickles? Lol! Great stuff!!

[JonnyPills321]

lol they have this at the drive ins at lockport NY still there so funny to watch now

[TCB12453]

This was a great time i loved it society was a lot more respected, people didnt run around looking for tail. There were more mom n' pop stores, and less franchises. People were a lot more nicer etc etc. I miss this time i wish i had a time machine.

[stokepogue]

So do I my friend

[kxsteve]

I knew a girl who liked to taste a pickle at the drive-in 2:40.. And boy did her mouth water!!!!

[mdog2700]

At 1:16 nothin like a smoke after that pickle she said !

[mdog2700]

yea sadly about 4 are closed 4 ever. 1 left i think. too far away though !

[kxsteve]

CORN DOGS!!!!

[mischiefmayhemsoap]

the burger looks like dog meat

[greenfuzz13]

Yes the entire country was under the influence of drugs that you can't get any more and we ate crap that should have killed us overnight. I remember the era fondly. (Regarding the Smithfield canned pork sandwiches: note the label on the can with the smiling house servant. I wonder if they ever changed that?)

[youtba3oo]

wow they sure kno how to lay out a soft cream

[SteevDragon67]

ah the classic tolona pizza pizza pizza commercial! i saw that at the drive-in when i was a kid, and remember it vividly! used to have lots of fun at the drive in, and a few years ago I went to a local one! wasn't as fun without these nifty adverts, but still brought back a lot of fond memories! thanks for posting this!

[wilkes85]

I'm sure they couldn't use this at a drive-in today, because one mention of the word "cigarette" would get people rioting. You know what kind of people I'm talking about... the kinda people who pretend to cough when you're outside having a smoke and they're at least 5 metres away, walking in one direction, and the wind is blowing in the opposite direction. I hate people like that!!!

[matman1490]

the toothpick is probably the best part of the sandwich.

and the little boy in that ad, is prolly in his 50's by now...

[looneywoman]

It could be worse -- could be one of those those Castleberrys!!! :p Blech!!! :p

[tridentum]

Canned barbeque pork...um, yummy.

[graemefield01]

I want some tasty dill pickles!

[topher0002]

2:14 that looks nasty!

[topher0002]

:30 , "soilent green is m ade out of people,  its people!!"

[landen0101]

Brought back great memories. Wish I could go to one again.

[laneatlileden]

they sold more rubbers out of the restroom than they sold popcorn.

[kes1963]

who in the world drinks milk at a drive-in

[kes1963]

who in the world drinks milk at a drive-in

[888yu2]

i would.

[kes1963]

the commercial for the pizza brings back memories. i laughed when the guy got his hand slapped. i was probably about 3 or 4 years old
