21 Nostalgic, Fun Drive-In Movies Across Upstate New York!
Drive-In movie theatres are back this summer big time!
During the 2-year "Great Pause" of the pandemic, when almost all movie theatres closed down, drive-in movie theatres in many places remained open in the summer.
What a great, nostalgic memory of days gone by these old drive-in theatres are to all generations. In the 1950,s and 1960s I jammed myself into my father's Ford Country Squire 9-passenger station wagon with as many friends as I could get in the car. And then we headed to the drive-in on "one price per carload" night. We stuffed ourselves on concession food (including that heavenly buttered-slathered popcorn), dodged our way around the potentially decapitating speaker-to-window wires, stayed for the second feature, and then crawled our way home down a country backroad shrouded in fog at 1:00 in the morning. Great stuff.
Each entry has a photo of the theatre, its physical address, and a link to its website or Facebook page.
Of special note we found a wonderful drive in Website that has done great research on these places and we have listed the first movies shown at these drive-ins when they opened. It is fun to see so many of the "big hit" movies that were shown on opening night. I mean classics, like Rory Calhoun in "The Saga of Hemp Brown" or Gale Storm starring in :Sunbonnet Sue." It's a riot!
