A Quick Reminder: Patronize Your Local Drive-In

Drive-Ins.com has the ultimate database of the world's surviving drive-in movie theaters.

If you haven't been yet this summer (or ever, heaven forbid), take it from CinemaTech: there is no better way to see a movie in the summertime. Bring your own food/beverages, bring a couple of lawn chairs, bring a football to toss around before the movie. You can turn up the sound (broadcast over your new-fangled FM radio) as loud as you want. You can talk (or make out) throughout the entire movie with nary a complaint.

Also, a word to the wise: many drive-ins now charge by the carload, rather than by the person. That means you don't have to stuff your cousin into the trunk to save money. Know before you go.
