What was the name of that song? It sounded mournful, yet touching......

[videomix22]

@Pookatube The song is titled Sanctuary. It is performed by Jim Wilson and is off his "Places in my heart" album.

WOW! Thanks for the memories. Breaks my heart to see theaters like this. There is one here in NH in this condition I visit often. Great Video!

Heavens to Murgatroid! This short film is really QUITE moving! It brings back so many wonderful memories for me. I saw a LOT of movies at local drive-ins with my family or friends when I was a kid in the 60's and a teen in the 70's. A TOTALLY different experience than going to a walk-in. And a lot more fun! THANKS for posting this delightful footate for us to enjoy! CHEERS! :-)

@JubalCalif Thank you friend for watching. Yes, I too remember those wonderful Drive-In movie day's with my family back in the 60's and in my teenage years during the 70's. Those memories will live with me for the rest of my life.

my dream is to own a drive in theater i would love not for the money just for the fun and of the old feeling watching really terrible movies that people have forgotten do you think it would work

i find that it's really sad that people became so busy with thier personal lives that they no longer go out and socialize with friends and go to drive in movies! i went to a few drive in's as a kid with my family in the early 80's and i am fortunate to have those great memories in my head forever! i mean really how long did it take to get in the car and drive a few miles to the theatre and park your car and enjoy a night out with your family and friends! drive in's were quite an experiance!

@1skunkus Remember sitting on the roof of a friends house to watch a movie? You couldn't hear it, but it was still fun to watch. It sure made you wish you could read lips. I saw a movie with Raquel Welch called the Kansas city bomber that way, I was just 11 then.

Thank you videomix22. That was a tearjerker, but a wonderful video.

The remains are awesome! Its mostly still there. I like that. However, i am intimidated by the screens for some reason.

[1skunkus]

remember passing them on the freeway and all screens would be playing?

[1skunkus]

@creeptales1 I would so do it with you if money was aquired, land was available, gangs would stay out and the rights to play the films, I want to do it too

Well...

They aren't all gone. Last summer we were up in Maine and took in a show at the Bridgton Twin. Two summers ago it was the Sunset in Colchester Vermont. Both are doiing fine.

It's well worth seeking these out and experiencing them: it's more than just a movie!

I hate this... I was really born in the wrong era, I really wish I could've been around to see this kind of thing and back when there were real cars and life was so much simpler...
