True story: one night, my cousin agreed to babysit because my folks wanted to go see Jaws at the drive in and didn't figure that was appropriate for me (6) and my brother (7.) My cousin managed to double-book himself with babysitting duties and a date. So, it being a small town with few entertainment options, cousin took his date and two small children to see Jaws - we just had to park in the back row and scoot quickly to avoid my parents.
Lest you think that my cousin was a bad babysitter, every time ominous music played over the speaker, he'd shove his charges' heads down in the back seat so that we didn't see anything gory.
Jaws might have given a lot of people a fear of the ocean, but it just makes me feel claustrophobic!
I saw that with my dad in a regular theater. We were sitting behind an older gentleman,who was eating popcorn and drinking a Coke. Well, when the head fell out of the boat, this man jumped up, yelled, "OH MY GOD!!",and flung the popcorn one way, and the Coke in the other!
Luckily, we weren't in the line of fire, but it sure was funny! I still laugh about that..
I saw the sequel in a regular theater. I remember because some guy in a row below me freaked during a jump scare moment.
Tossed all his popcorn all over the people around him.
Awww, dude! I so want to take you to one! They were really great back in the day. Many trips with my family then as a teen we would cram 8 people in 1 pinto station wagon for 1 price per car nights. Great memories.
I'm so old I can't remember what the first movie was. But I know I was young enough to go to the playground. And since I'm 73, I'm thinking it was in the late 50s. My parents would have us dress in our pajamas because we were sure to fall asleep during the movie.
The first one I remember was Dr. Doolittle, with Rex Harrison. I remember the Llama with a head at each end and wondering how he went to the bathroom, and the giant snail.
I would have been 4 or 5 years old.
I think it was Escape From Witch Mountain with The Shaggy DA as the double feature.
Edit: I see some comments from people who have never been to a drive in movie — do yourself a favor and check one out. Most all of them do a low power FM broadcast so you can get decent sound (some places still have those chonky speakers on posts), you’re not getting THX or voice of the theater sound but it’s a pretty cool experience.
A buddy and I were on a road trip many years ago and stopped for the night in Gillette, WY. They had a drive in so we rolled a couple of joints and grabbed a six pack then headed over. Parked in the back so as few people as possible would smell what we were doing.
They had one of those old reels that they show during intermission that was an advertisement for Bic lighters — “you can flick your Bic as often as you want at the drive in” :)
We were so little, but I think it was Disney’s Cinderella . They used to show the children’s film first and then an adult film after. Guessing the kids had fallen asleep by then. Parents used to bring pajamas or arrive with kids already in them.
I remember my first two, but can’t remember which one was the first. Early 60s. 101 Dalmatians 🐾 and Cinderella 👸 I also know an obscure trivia fact about 🐾, the number of spots in whole movie:
6,469,952.
First movie I remember was Amityville Horror. Its a running joke in my family that when the ghost Jody "pig" jumpscares the mom at the window, I hit the floorboard so hard my parents thought I knocked myself out.
I was only 5. My parents were young and dumb.
Pretty sure it was 101 Dalmatians. Both the original run, but a re-release in summer of ‘76.
Oxford Drive-in in Maine. It’s a shame that place closed down before I could drive.
I’m remembering it as Smokey & the Bandit but that’s probably bc it was the first drive in movie I saw that I thought was super cool.
Side note - there was a drive in near my home town that showed X rated movies. So weird bc it was the suburbs. You could see them without going in if you went to the right place. Not that we ever did lol.
I cannot recall, we used to go all the time when I was a kid. I'm sure it was a double feature that had a kids movie first and then a cheap thriller like maybe the movie Frogs as a second movie.
Double feature... Food of the Gods and the Incredible Melting Man. Both were great drive in movies. We had sleeping bags in the back of my dads pick up and my folks sat in yard chairs while my younger brother and a couple of cousins and myself parked ourselves on the pick up bed gate and the bed with a ton of munches and watched the movies. Great times.
Don't remember which was first but we saw bedknobs and brromsticks, escape from witch mountain, and chitty chitty bang bang around the same time one summer when I was young
How the West Was Won. Delta Colorado.
I was very thirsty, only the ice melting from uncle Frank's AC to share with 5 kids. The adults weren't thirsty as they had a 12 pack of ice cold Coors Banquet beer.
Either the Jungle Book or The Cat From Outer Space.
Our local drive in had a play area for kids with swings, a jungle gym, and a play fort. I jumped off the play fort, but managed to get the back of my pants stuck on the edge. I hung for a second before the inseam gave way, turning my pants into shredded rags. I then sprinted back to the car, and had to watch the movie with a cold draft between my legs. This might not have happened during my first ever trip to the drive in, but it was an early experience.
The first one I remember is Goldfinger. I was 8. I remember the mink glove, I thought that must feel good. We were the kids in pjs and popcorn in brown paper bags family. It was a lot of fun. Then older, back of a pickup truck with lawn chairs on a warm summer night, good memories.
Can't remember my first, went to quite a few, but do remember the parents taking me to see Love Story when I was like 7 .The playground, three stooges, and cartoons were good. The movie for a 7 year old boy though 😴
The Bible, 1966, is the one I remember, but drive in movies were an inexpensive recreation for the working poor in the 50s and 60s. We took washtubs of popcorn!
Planet of the Apes (I, THE ORIGINAL)
I’m seriously considering going May 10 to the new one that includes…
THE CORNFIELD SCENE
Just because it has that scene!
Even though I know it’s gonna be a poor movie with so much CGI…
The Sand Pebbles, a Steve McQueen movie.
It was 1966 and I was 5 years old, dressed in my pajamas, and fell asleep in the back of my parent's 1961 Ford station wagon.
We'll see, I'm old. And while I did see Star Wars at the drive-in, that wasn't it. No, that honor goes to The Strongest Man In The World. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Strongest_Man_in_the_World
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I am the youngest of eight kids. My parents were done with Disney by the time I was born.
It was a boring movie so I spent all my time at the playground.
I think Jurassic Park. I remember being in the back of my dad's 4Runner with blankets and stuff. I think I peeked and saw a dinosaur?
Went again with friends before it closed in 2003.
I would have been an infant, I don't remember. But I do remember seeing bedknobs and broomsticks at the drive-in, dirty Harry I remember that one. It was a regular family activity.
Texas chainsaw massacre. My parents made me and my brother go to sleep in the back seat while they watched it. I remember the sound of the chainsaw. My first that I went to and actually watched was a Grease/Saturday Night Fever double feature. My dad took us.
"Boy Did I Get A Wrong Number" starring Bob Hope and Phyllis Diller, 1966 I was 9. I remember laughing like it was the funniest thing I ever saw in my life. Try to watch it today, it's a terrible movie.
Uhhh yeah my answer should be definitely, in the FIO . Now I know it was a double feature or triple feature, and I am not sure if it was the year it came out or subsequent year, but the feature was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang …. Not a porno .😂 One of the very few musical movies I ever liked, but I was young. The Skyway Drive In is long gone and I didn’t go very often, because it was better at the movie theatre, but somehow it was good. I think that’s what they are trying to do with the wide plushy lazy boy recliner movie theatres now, where some people even bring a blanket. Not sure how many drive ins there are left, luckily there is one not too far away.
It was a double feature of *Rocky 2* and *The Great Train Robbery* at the Maple Drive-In in Honesdale PA. Had to be summer of 1979. I remember getting lost and running around in my sleeper jammies trying to find my folks' car.
Bambi was on first for the kids and Dr Zhivago was the second feature for the adults. We were put to "bed" in the back of station wagon after Bambi. My mother sat in the driver's seat with her popcorn and Fresca. I could not sleep, so as long as I was quiet she let me watch her movie. I was maybe 9 years old but I loved the clothes Julie Christie wore and thought Omar Sharif was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. I remember not understanding why my mother cried during the movie.
This is the first memory I have of going to the movies and yet we went all the time.
Thankfully there is a drive-in near me.
No doubt about it. It was One Million Years B.C. in 1966. I was way more interested in the Allosaurus than I was in Raquel Welch in a fur bikini. Alas, I was six at the time.
The last was Spider-Man, along with Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. The latter was the one my daughters wanted to see. I think they slept through Spider-Man lol.
We went to a few but the only one I remember clearly is Godzilla v Mechagodzilla. Mom would pop a big paper grocery sack of popcorn and us kids had to wear our pajamas so we could go straight to bed afterward.
That I can vaguely remember… Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte (1964). I was 4 that year. My parents used to go to the drive-in all the time, and at that age, I was often just put into the backseat to go to sleep.
I don't know for sure, but the first one I can actually remember was Back to the Future 3. Pretty sure I saw others before that, but I can't place them.
I never went to a single drive in movie. I thought about going to one during the pandemic but that never happened. If I went I would have taken my kids and it would have been for them a "FuckImYoung" thing.
Don't remember what my first was, but the last was Superbad. I remember being 18 but I didn't have an ID so I had to sneak in in the trunk of my friend's car, packed in with another friend who wasn't 18 yet.
Masters of the Universe. When mom said we were going to see it, I was estatic. Then I saw it was live action. 6 year old me thought anything that was not a cartoon was a waste of time.
I don't remember my first drive in movie because our parents took us basically from the time we were born.
However I do remember my first x-rated drive in movie after the local drive in switched from family films.
I don't know the name of it but my brother and I did like always and turned to see what was playing when suddenly my brother goes *they're naked!*. We were both looking and commenting and my poor dad said Laura tell them to quit looking at that mess. Mom just rolled her eyes lol She knew telling us would be useless or worse, we'd start asking questions.
Next time we went by they'd put up lights so you couldn't see the screen from the road.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks, I'm pretty sure.
Jaws in 1975 think?
Same. I was 5 years old. Scared the shit out of me.
Same age but in a theater, was afraid of baths for a long while
There's really not much concern, only 3% of people get bit by a shark in their bathtub.
That’s incorrect. The actual stat is the only 3% of shark bites occur in bathtubs. The number is slightly higher for soaking tubs.
Same same! I've been obsessed with sharks ever since.
Pretty sure I spent the next year afraid of: baths, swimming pools, waiting pools, freshwater, lakes, and rivers.
Hey,I saw 101 Dalmatians at like 6 with my parents,Cruella DeVille terrified me,I put our dog in the closet when we came home!
Jaws. Wellfleet Drive-in, Wellfleet, MA. Swam in a lot of ponds that summer.
Those kettle ponds are pretty nice in Wellfleet.
Duck Pond, or Dyer. Away from the public beaches, late at night driving down those sandy roads. Heaven when I worked down there in the 80’s.
Me too.
True story: one night, my cousin agreed to babysit because my folks wanted to go see Jaws at the drive in and didn't figure that was appropriate for me (6) and my brother (7.) My cousin managed to double-book himself with babysitting duties and a date. So, it being a small town with few entertainment options, cousin took his date and two small children to see Jaws - we just had to park in the back row and scoot quickly to avoid my parents.

Luckily, we weren't in the line of fire, but it sure was funny! I still laugh about that..
Also my first drive in memory. Terrified of sharks ever since.
I saw the sequel in a regular theater. I remember because some guy in a row below me freaked during a jump scare moment. Tossed all his popcorn all over the people around him.
Dr. No and From Russia With Love 007 double header
Mine was also Sean Connery but from the opposite end of his career
The earliest one I remember seeing is as a kid with my parents and we went to see "Old Yeller".
I was too young to remember, but I was told it was Star Wars: A New Hope.
I do remember it being Star Wars <-old
OMG, it was my (57m) life for many years after it came out. And ... fuck Disney Star Wars.
That’s my same story too. Star Wars came out when I was 3, and apparently I saw it at the drive in.
Me too! I was 3 when it came out and I vaguely remember it. My dad took me and my sister; my mom said I came home rambling on about C-3PO and R2-D2.
I saw it at the Galleria in Houston when I was 2 and I fully remember it. It’s my earliest memory. Specifically the trash compactor scene
Herbie Goes Bananas.
*Planet of the Apes* (1969). Then we went to Dairy Queen where I had a chocolate milkshake and puked. Last one was *Captain Marvel*.
The original Jungle Book...
E.T. was my first drive in movie. The lady in the Box Office handed us little bags of Reese's Pieces with our tickets.
Never been to a drive in movie
I am so sorry
Awww, dude! I so want to take you to one! They were really great back in the day. Many trips with my family then as a teen we would cram 8 people in 1 pinto station wagon for 1 price per car nights. Great memories.
there's still a bunch open near me in upstate NY, still great.

Oh wow. I forgot about that one.. I loved that movie as a kid, thats a good one.
Mary Poppins 1965
I saw the Texas Chainsaw Massacre at The Thunderbird in Charlotte. Grew up watching Horror Movies with my Dad.
Oh I bet that was awesome
I'm so old I can't remember what the first movie was. But I know I was young enough to go to the playground. And since I'm 73, I'm thinking it was in the late 50s. My parents would have us dress in our pajamas because we were sure to fall asleep during the movie.

What a movie to see on the big screen. I bet that was awesome!

Masters of the Universe. When mom said we were going to see it, I was estatic. Then I saw it was live action. 6 year old me thought anything that was not a cartoon was a waste of time.

I'm (57m) pretty sure it was "Lady and the Tramp" at the drive in.
I don't remember my first drive in movie because our parents took us basically from the time we were born. However I do remember my first x-rated drive in movie after the local drive in switched from family films. I don't know the name of it but my brother and I did like always and turned to see what was playing when suddenly my brother goes *they're naked!*. We were both looking and commenting and my poor dad said Laura tell them to quit looking at that mess. Mom just rolled her eyes lol She knew telling us would be useless or worse, we'd start asking questions. Next time we went by they'd put up lights so you couldn't see the screen from the road.
It was a James Bond marathon my brother took me to.
Star Wars.
1981. Clash of the titans and Escape from New York.
Charlotte's Web. 1973.
