Over here in England we really don’t get the privilege of drive-ins, the country is too cold and you never know when it is going to rain. But I did get to go to one when I was young; I saw Jurassic Park 3 (I know it sucks) but a massive experience. I got totally freaked out as I was in the middle of a massive forest all around. Really did bring the whole thing alive.

I am returning to the US this summer and hope I get to go again.

I love this shit.

In college my roommates and I would check out expensive video projectors, that were not suppose to leave the architecture building, and throw outdoor and indoor screenings.

Chicago has an active summer outdoor movie program.

and of course the best outdoor movie experience ever depicted is the Row-In Theatre in Cinema Paradiso. I would die a happy man if I could watch that film in that little Italian harbor! Plus this great scene:

Thanks Sean! I just joined the Waterloo chapter.

Outdoor movie watching in the summer is the best! We’re having ‘The Wizard’ in a backyard this Saturday in St. Catharines.

I plan to take them out of backyards and into public places, guerilla drive-in style, very soon.

I really want to show ‘Mac and Me’ on the wall of the shoe store beside McDonald’s on Welland Ave in St. Catharines. Or the white fence in the McDonald’s parking lot in Niagara on the Lake.

If anyone is interested in joining the mailing list to be informed of Incredibly Strange Movie Night screenings, send an email to: ismnniagara at gmail dot com

I’m absolutley in love with the idea of Drive-Ins, but unfortunatley there is only a couple here in Texas and there hundreds of miles from where I live. I actually have been to one once when I was visiting San Diego and it was amazing. I saw a Double Feature of National Treasure and The Incredibles. I dream of one day opening a legitimate Drive In here in Houston Texas.
