Star Wars in '77. When they blew up that Death Star, that 3 and a half year old brat was really impressed. Probably my earliest memory.

 this is turning into a fun thread; anybody remember Drive In ? A bad 70s cult flick which of course was shown frequently at, yes, drive-ins

Why is that a counter-intuitive idea? I use one every weekend. It's pretty great.

Could be worse I guess...

get your amo supply on your way to your bank hold-up and not be late for the rendez-vous, right?? And down half a bottle of JD to get your courage up to it!!
Yup, sounds like DOUBLE SHOT deal... two shots in one stone
What's next?? a hire-your-gangster drive-thru franchise??  ..

I bet it was a teen comedy with kids screwing their girlfriends in the back seat, while a serial killer was lurking in the cars ??

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Oh I think we have much more egregious examples of American decadence than drive-in movies, my friend. This is a related one I find particularly appalling (drive-in churches). Almost as bad as drive-in liquor stores, which are about as counter-intuitive an idea as any I've ever seen.

In fact, "Examples of American Decadence" sounds like a great thread topic!

Well, I wouldn't dare starting it.... I'd instantly get the Tea Party's KKK followers on my case, since I'm not a United Statian...

Sadly I was born after the fall of Drive ins. Infact, I was born after the internet
