Summer Movies

We go to the drive-in sometimes if there is something we really want to see. The drive-in theater here doesn't take us 10 minutes to get to but an arsonist set one of the screens on fire one night about a month ago and now there is one less. :angry: I don't know whether they will replace it or not.

I loved Shaun of the Dead!
I liked Knocked Up quite a bit. Funny, and good chemistry.
I liked Oceans 13 better than 12, but still not as much as 11. I like all the actors and actresses--and Don Cheadle graduated from my high school. ;-)
I'd like to see 1408, but not alone.
Transformers reminds me of when the kids were little but I don't have any great desire to see it.
I'd like to see Sicko but will probably wait for the rentals. I do not always agree with Michael Moore's filmmaking methods, but I can't fault his subject matter, nor his convictions.

Cil, I am going to the 2:25 showing of 1408 alone. Hubby will be leaving a little behind me to go to work. I'll let you know if it was worth seeing.

Waaaal, you could go sit on the lawn at Seaside or Rosemary Beach and watch the outdoor movies and pretend it's a real drive-in. (It's actually kinda funn if it's a funny movie like Herbie and the Love Bug. )

The whole swim team used to go every weekend when I was a kid- our coaches would pack us in pickups and station wagons! We had a blast...wish there were more drive-ins around. Now that I think about it, I wonder how much the parents paid the coaches to take us to drive-ins every weekend?

That was where we went on the weekends in groups. Either with the girls or with a date. One time, we piled a bunch of girls in the trunk of a Buick Electra so we could get in cheap. I was driving and when we parked, I went to the trunk and dropped the keys. I told them I couldn't find them. They were freaking out. As you can see, I haven't grown much since high school.

My very first date was at the Drive-In. I got grounded for 6months because I "didn't know what movie we'd "seen".

Ratatouille (yeah, it's a kids' movie.... so what? It's about food.)
Hairspray
The Simpsons Movie
The Ten
The Bourne Ultimatum

I never got to go to a drive in movie

I only went to one. I was working at a camp in Colorado in August when I was in college. The summer staff piled in the back of pickup trucks and went to a local drive in. Here's the catch--we were freezing!!! It was either "Sister Act" or "Sister Act II." I don't much remember because I was scrunched down in the quilts and blankets...

I'm so looking forward to the new Harry Potter. Of course, I've already managed to miss "Pirates 3" and "Spiderman 3," but I managed to see "Shrek the Third." (Laughed my butt off, but I'm a complete dork. The key to seeing those guilty-pleasure type movies is having teenagers on hand to see it with you. You can laugh all you want and don't have to be cool about it. They think you're a complete dork, but they end up laughing all they want, too.)

I really want to see "Oceans 13," too. I'll probably just GO sometime this week.

Did I really just write all that about movies? Sheesh. I've been doing too much homework today.

I love the comments about drive-in moives.My dad thought of them as a den of sin, so I would have to sneak and go. Nothing quite like sitting outside watching a movie....in lawn chairs in the back of a truck!: Good times! Good memories!

We have 2 drive-ins within 30 miles. May try to go to one this summer and relive my youth.
