All Nite Drive-In

**auld argonian** · 5th August 10, 08:52 AM

Inspired by Canuck of NI's reference to the drive-in in another thread, my mind drifted back to the good ol' days when my buddies and I and a couple of our dates would cram ourselves and several cases of beer in the car and partake of one of the great pleasures of life, the all night drive-in.

So, if we had the all-night drive in kilt program, what movies would we pick and in what order? Remember that this would be a program that would most likely happen in the Northern Hemisphere, Western Segment months of July or August so we'd be looking at a program that would start at twilight and end at dawn...sundown at about 8PM, sunrise at about 6AM.

Which movies, what order and how much of which beer to get you through...let's assume a designated driver...and what's for breakfast when you get to Denny's? I'm goin' with the "Moons Over My Hammie"!

....for those in other countries (where you are most certainly thinner and have lower cholesterol), Denny's is a chain of family-style restaurants that specializes in large breakfasts...when you get over here, do try it...biscuits with sausage gravy.....mmmmm.

Airplane, Airplane 2. Spinal tap 1 & 2. The whole group of Police Story movies. The Van. With Danny Devito
In the 70's and 80's, I belonged to a van club. We used to take all of our vans to the drive in and park in the last row, against the trees. Several of our group would pull sofas out of the vans, end tables and small refrigerators. Adult beverages abounded. the management didn't like it, but we were keeping him open. Occaisionally we "turned off" the lights in the parking lot so we could see the movie. We made all the noise we wanted. Some nights we had as few as 10 vans. One night in particular, we had at least 40 vans. Other moviegoers would come back to our group because they thought it was a van show. Those were the days. I was divorced in the early 80's and fatbroad got custody of the van. I bought another one, but it was never the same.

A little off topic, but memories took over at the mention of Drive in Movies.

I just like the offbeat comedies.

Blazing Saddles! And whatever beer is handy. If you have a van and a date, you might want to try and catch the showing of Night of the Huge Beaver.

Other good ones would be Rock & Roll Wrestling Women vs the Aztec Mummy, anything filmed in Smell-O-Rama, Pitch Black, and any random good chop socky flick. You mean Police Academy? How about Supertroopers? Teen Wolf? Lost Boys? Superbad?

Rob Roy, Ivanhoe (to mix things up a bit- no kilts but written by SWS), Bonnie Scotland (Laurel & Hardy), Carry On Up The Khyber, and Highlander. In about that order.

I would leave famous Mel off the program I'm afraid- no offense to fans of his but he rather made my namesake The Bruce, and himself, look bad. Not that I didn't enjoy the movie but twice was enough.

No beer in Canada- they have snipers for that.
