In Sacramento during the 70s, there were no fewer than 13 drive-ins operating. One of them specialized in X-rated films; just imagine the reaction of somebody driving past the big screen at night. "What are they showing? 'The Attack of the 50 Foot Clitoris'?"
Thanks to someone who upload this,me,who is 15 year old,got to experience how drive-in ads were made.Not like cinemas now,that always go black every 2 seconds when the trailer is on...
Please der00 don't ever take this video down. It's my favorite thing in all of youtube. Such nostalgia. My dad was just a twinkle in my grandfather's eye when this came out. So long ago but feels so familiar. Love all the music. 6 out of 5 stars on this. Justin in MN
I still have one I go to weekly. They still show the intermission bits they have from the 50s. They got rid of the speakers though and transmit the sound through FM radio. Got sick of having to repair the speakers.
This is mainly why I liked going to a drive-in movie when I was a kid back in the 60's; these cute little intermission ads. But sadly, the drive-ins have gone the way of the dinosaur.
But thanks to today's modern technology, especially You Tube, we can enjoy these cute little ads at anytime.
How could anyone dislike this? oh brother. Imagine anybody today telling you to go to church on Sunday? All hell from the liberals and ACLU would break loose! Political correctness is slowly killing us.
That Pizza looked just like a ChefBoyardee boxed Pizza Mix. You can still buy them in the store.When I was little we went to two differnt drive in movies, One was just a ten minute drive the other was farther, but my sister and I loved it better. It was called Viking Twin, It had two screens. And a playground for us children. That one had ice cream, hot dogs, hamburgers pizza, popcorn, sodas. candy, and that one with the dancing ice cream cups, like in Grease when Danny sings Sandy

Miami once beautful now the drug mecca of the south. Crime ridden streets all brought to you courtesy LBJ Jimmy Carter Bill Clinton. These Fine presidents have RUINED our Country.
I remember those Audio boxes! They were awkward and clumsy and sounded terrible! They were made by RCA,as I recall..at least,the boxes in the Elmsford Drive-in were,anyway!
I too was one that hardly ever saw much of the movie with my fav girl of the time. Alway bought food before going to the drivein. But I did have weakness for the frozen malts that you had to eat with a wooden spoon.
For longer videos, Something Weird Video is a good source. These intermission clips were very cool, so cool that I rarely went to the snack bar during intermiossion, waiting until the movie returned. My clips on You Tube are from OUTDOOR MOOVIES, a Public Access TV show and I really enjoy seeing what others have posted. By the way, I worked at a drive in for 9 serasons. DO NOT EAT THE HJAMBURGERS or HOT DOGS! (unless you can see them being prepared. Nightly we'd re wrap them for later sale.
@robyrobot Just download all of them and use Realplayer to make a Video CD of them. If your DVD player plays multiple formats, you can watch them on your TV.
I love the music in this one. It makes me think that life back then would have been just peachy. I found a box of slides at my grandpa's house after he died. Most of them are sharp, beautiful, color slides from the late 50's-60's of families in his neighborhood all dressed up in their Sunday best on beautiful summer mornings posing for a picture before church. It's incredible.
I wished they would still sell those refillable glass bottles. My parents bought some orange crush in glass bottles. those could be used in fights you know.
These commercials actually want to make me buy stuff...not like todays commercials where erectile dysfunction is a symptom on EVERYTHING...I'm not joking.
I tend to think old-really old. Any advice on what I should drink?
And walking and driving habits will reduce accident rates? Hmm, I dunno..(rubs chin skeptically)
Finally, the last little animation of thieves there(which every family away from home longs to think about while at the movies!), made me laugh. "It's ShowTime!...Swamp Ass". LOL!
Anyone remember one from the early 70s? About a girl maybe named Carol walking in a field of Dandelions going to do some volunteer work or something like that.
@sygo7g In Mexico, you can still get most sodas in re-fillable glass bottles with non-twist tops. Ahh, the sound of a bottle cap popping, and pop is better from a glass bottle. I wish Canada Dry would re-issue the green glass bottle with cork-lined cap. In many US cities you can buy glass bottles of Mexican Coca-Cola(made with better water & real cane sugar, not corn syrup). Wall Street Journal did a feature story about Mexican Coca-Cola a few months ago.
5:05 Gotta love the glass bottles at poolside...I like the old days before we had a million safety rules. Man, I could sure go for an ice-cold drink from the snack bar!
--- Thanks for all of these great vintage film clips! I'm trying to find some of these on 16mm film. Any source besides e.ba.y.? HM, Highway Cinema
p.s. Long live the old Moonlight Drive-In(it was in the Seattle area)
@Sheri451 Well, in the good old days the drive-ins had sloped rows so the car would be parked slightly uphill, so people in the back seat could see just fine. I loved the sound of those old metal speakers. All of the digital sound these days makes me yawn.
This is a wonderful collection. Thank you so much for posting!!!! (Made me remember, there's nothing like drive-in pizza, though ours was square much like highschool lunch pizza LOL :) )
This is jewel of Americana. Such notions! Believe in your country, believe in a code, believe in something. Smoke in your car! Promoting real civic duty, the BSA, why the world of today so much better!
I have a love-hate relationship with drive-in theaters. On one hand, they're an awesome, outdoor activity at night, full of comfort and nostalgic joy. On the other hand, they're a bittersweet reminder of suburban sprawl and how America builds cities for cars and not people.
I miss Drive-in's! Our town tries to have a "Drive-In in the Park" every Friday night during the Spring and Summer months. You can bring your own blankets and lawn chairs and they do open up the snack shop in our park. It's fun, and the movies are for the kids, but at least those of us who remember drive-in's can reminisce a little!
If you had a steady girl you were at the drive in every weekend and very little of the show got watched. Times were that simple not a lot else to do. I remember the speakers were staticy and hard to hear sometimes you had to drive around to tind a good speaker. and some drive ins stayed open all winter and would offer in car heaters. loved the dusk to dawn shows.
Wow! What memories. I remember when you REALLY liked a girl you'd ask her to go to the Drive-In. If she said yes it was "fogged up windows" for you both! Some good memories for sure...
There are still drive-ins around Illinois and I try to go at least twice a summer. The Keno Drive-In still does the 10 minute vintage ads like this one between features! My Youtube channel is a Psychotronic Network, check it out.
The local drive in was always a good source of fun on the weekends.
We used to go there as teens in the late 50's for some innocent fun.
One time a bunch of the guys from the football team got together and as a joke we stole all the sinks from the restrooms and threw them through the projectionists windshield while he was working.
it poured that night and his car was flooded!
Boy was he mad,he swore like a salior on his wedding night.
He never did figure out it was us guys who done it.
advertisements always made me hungry , but the food is usually awful and the drinks are flat.You can buy a permit to bring your own food i ,which sucks.
Awsome !!!! love it!!!! I wish there were more vintage videos of 50's available...love to go in the past, if there is any site, or any video you can upload more....loved this video.....thanks!!!!
We still have two active drive-in theaters down here in Riverside, CA. I remember me and my dad would go down to one of them in his pickup truck to see the summer blockbusters every so often... good times. Oh nostalgia...
Its really cool to watch these intermission films. How going to a movie was really special and how the it was a way bond with the family. Just reminds of a more simple time. Basically the complete opposite of now a days sadly....
Wow lol lol....I can't beleave I can't comment on a video like this without some fuck like you MAKEING IT about race....Its amazing how its never ever about race until fucktards like you come along and MAKE IT about race....I didn't say one thing about race in my comment so why some asswipe like you thinks they have to take the time to rip my comment and make it about racism is laughable at best...Grow up prick.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the comment was about how these days are so much worse than the past. what i spoke of is just one small example of how full of shit you are for acting like all the old people had it all figured out. quit living in a past that never existed, douche bag.
How are you not brining up the past when you drag racism into this? All I said was that compared to today, back then there wasen' as much shit going on..YOU then come along and go into the past and bitch about the "colored section". If anyone needs to quit dragging the past up, its you seeing as you your the one that brough it up in the first place you jackoff.
prisoners i guess were treated much better in the 50s , popcorn and a projector in the holding cell, oh they were white buglars that explains everything !
Pepsi Cola hits the spot, but, we had a drive in that used to run PEPSI COLA ads but only sold COCA COLA products. They also ran a short ad for cigarettes that were not available.
.a cartoon about house burglars, hhahahahaha, very good point nevawrong, hahaha. This is good stuff this is. i lve in the U.K and as far as i know drive ins were an American thing, as far as i know, these are funny
As a kid, my parents never let me go/took me to the concession stand (sometimes dad went to get something, but we usually brought our own stuff). Last year I went for the 1st time since then, and this time I went in to see what I was missing. I think I get it now; as a kid, I probably would have just wanted to stay there, eat and play pinball, those non-video driving games, or whatever else they might have had at the time! Good to finally go in and see what I was missing. It was grand! lol!
Great thing to show people when they're out for the evening away from home...a cartoon about house burglars. But then, in between commercials for chips and ice cream and other unhealthy foods they're suggesting you visit your doctor... LOL
This is the same videotape I have which I bought at a Chicago record show about 15 years ago. Great post here though, so others can see what they are missing. This stuff is great. I love these. Keep posting.
@dannysallstarjoint I haven't been to a drive-in in years either, but as I recall, back in the 1970s and 1980s, they showed updated versions of ads like these. The ads for the concessions seemed to be older sometimes, possibly dating back to the '50s or '60s.
It amazes me that the concession stands sold any food items considering how terrible they looked in some of those clips up on the big screen! The music was always so "great" in those clips, also. But there will always be those fond memories of a summer's evening at the drive-in.
We're fortunate to still have one in the Toledo, OH, area.
I wish they still had drive-in's where I live. I was only a little girl when they got rid of them for those awful multiplex things. I would love to go again, it was a part of what made summer great !
Yes, it is amusing but bizarre to remind audiences that their house might be in the process of being burglarized while they're at the drive-in...even though the two thieves do get caught.
I love the background that resembles raw flesh that's used for the reminders to get regular checkups (especially x-rays.)
Brian Wilson said it best. "I Love The Drive-in" and these old clips are priceless.
Even the music is great. These are on videotape and I am sure they made it to DVD by now. I have them on videotape. I bought them 20 years ago from...
I absolutly love going to a drive in. The atmosphere there is just cool. Im blessed to have a drive in theather in my state and it is always packed in the summer..It is always a great time. And at mine, they actully play these kind of things durning intermission :)
We just went to the drive-in last night...it is a brand new three-screen theatre. They had great food at the snack bar but there are no ads like this shown during intermission.
oh no, a re-run. just kidding. I saw these same films during "saturday fright special" recently. that show is a good way to see all these old intermission films, as well as some old cartoons like popeye, tom and jerry, etc.
Visited out local drive in theater last evening. I talked with the owner and this may be the last season for this summer treat. We will miss the drive in and keep the memories.
I'm amazed that they chose to tell you how many minutes were left with a cartoon of the thieves who are in your house right now as you watch this movie!
I think it's funny how so many people complain about today's "nanny state," when you can look at all these little advice ads from the 50's and see all these things that nobody could get away with putting in front of today's movie screens.
These are the best of the entire lot of intermission ads on YouTube. That fanfare music in the background is the best. It reminds me of the films we used to watch in elementary school (e.g., "Billy and Betty never dart from between parked cars"). Very nice.
In Sacramento during the 70s, there were no fewer than 13 drive-ins operating. One of them specialized in X-rated films; just imagine the reaction of somebody driving past the big screen at night. "What are they showing? 'The Attack of the 50 Foot Clitoris'?"

We still have two active drive-in theaters down here in Riverside, CA. I remember me and my dad would go down to one of them in his pickup truck to see the summer blockbusters every so often... good times. Oh nostalgia...

Its really cool to watch these intermission films. How going to a movie was really special and how the it was a way bond with the family. Just reminds of a more simple time. Basically the complete opposite of now a days sadly....

the comment was about how these days are so much worse than the past. what i spoke of is just one small example of how full of shit you are for acting like all the old people had it all figured out. quit living in a past that never existed, douche bag.
zee339 2 years ago
How are you not brining up the past when you drag racism into this? All I said was that compared to today, back then there wasen' as much shit going on..YOU then come along and go into the past and bitch about the "colored section". If anyone needs to quit dragging the past up, its you seeing as you your the one that brough it up in the first place you jackoff.

Pepsi Cola hits the spot, but, we had a drive in that used to run PEPSI COLA ads but only sold COCA COLA products. They also ran a short ad for cigarettes that were not available.

Looks flat and watery. Given the questionable quality of many concession stands of the era, the footage has more truth than the script.

As a kid, my parents never let me go/took me to the concession stand (sometimes dad went to get something, but we usually brought our own stuff). Last year I went for the 1st time since then, and this time I went in to see what I was missing. I think I get it now; as a kid, I probably would have just wanted to stay there, eat and play pinball, those non-video driving games, or whatever else they might have had at the time! Good to finally go in and see what I was missing. It was grand! lol!

Great thing to show people when they're out for the evening away from home...a cartoon about house burglars. But then, in between commercials for chips and ice cream and other unhealthy foods they're suggesting you visit your doctor... LOL

I haven't been to the drive-in in years. Do they still use some of the vintage ads or are they more updated? I miss the old ones. Thanks.
dannysallstarjoint 3 years ago
@dannysallstarjoint I haven't been to a drive-in in years either, but as I recall, back in the 1970s and 1980s, they showed updated versions of ads like these. The ads for the concessions seemed to be older sometimes, possibly dating back to the '50s or '60s.
Teflon65 11 months ago
It amazes me that the concession stands sold any food items considering how terrible they looked in some of those clips up on the big screen! The music was always so "great" in those clips, also. But there will always be those fond memories of a summer's evening at the drive-in.
We're fortunate to still have one in the Toledo, OH, area.

Yes, it is amusing but bizarre to remind audiences that their house might be in the process of being burglarized while they're at the drive-in...even though the two thieves do get caught.
I love the background that resembles raw flesh that's used for the reminders to get regular checkups (especially x-rays.)

Brian Wilson said it best. "I Love The Drive-in" and these old clips are priceless.
Even the music is great. These are on videotape and I am sure they made it to DVD by now. I have them on videotape. I bought them 20 years ago from...

I think it's funny how so many people complain about today's "nanny state," when you can look at all these little advice ads from the 50's and see all these things that nobody could get away with putting in front of today's movie screens.
Thanks for the great trip down memory lane!

These are the best of the entire lot of intermission ads on YouTube. That fanfare music in the background is the best. It reminds me of the films we used to watch in elementary school (e.g., "Billy and Betty never dart from between parked cars"). Very nice.
