1989 when my son was conceived. For obvious reasons I don’t remember the movie. I THINK it might have been “Colors”. ---

The last time I went to the drive in was just two years ago. I was doing a feature story on the seasonal opening of the local drive in in Sterling, Colorado. We were under a tornado watch but they started the film anyway, it was _Hitch_. I got to see the first half, before the projector broke and everyone was refunded their money and had to leave. Before that the last film I saw, but did not hear, was _Southern Fried Movie_ (I think it was 1975. Our apartment used to face the screen of a drive in and we would go out on our balcony and watch the films and make up dialogue for them. The last drive in I watched and heard was _Ride the High Country_ and it sort of worked because I was in Rock Springs, Wyoming. That was sometime in the late 60s if I remember correctly. ---

When I was 10, and saw _Dead Calm_ \ I need to go again. ---

This past Tuesday. I saw Ratatouille and Ocean’s 13 at the Montana Drive-In located in Estill Springs TN. One of the best ways to see a movie, they have 3 screens… it’s 5 bucks a head (4 for kids) to see two movies and their concessions are reasonable and good. ---

I saw _Risky Business_ at the drive-in theater in the summer of 1984, I believe. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/when-was-the-last-time-you-went-to-a-drive-in-theater/410504.md?page=3)
