Hey Everyone,

My local theatre is back open & received an email saying all movies are only $5. I jumped on to see what was playing and was surprised by the line up.

Obviously there isn't much in the way of new movies out right now, so they
seem to be playing a lot of the classics with some newer ones thrown in:

Jurassic Park
Jaws
The Karate Kid
The Goonies
The Invisible Man


So I have tickets to go see The Goonies tomorrow. I was a little young the first time around to see it in theatres, but I remember renting it on VHS
back in the day.

I notice our local drive in also is playing some classics:

Screen 1:
ET
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Mission Impossible

Screen 2:
Austin Powers
The Mask
Wedding Crashers

Screen 3:
Baby Driver
The Shallows
Don't Breathe

I don't mind drive ins, but I wouldn't be able to make it through 2 whole movies let alone 3.


Would you be comfortable going to a movie just yet?

What classics would you like to see on the big screen again (or for the first time?)

I'll report back about the experience & how safe everything seems.

Watch how impressively they introduce all the main characters during the opening credits and what you can expect from them. It's truly impressive.

There's a lot of cities who would have Friday/Saturday night movies in the
park for free or a small fee like this. Twin Falls, ID would do this downtown at the city park about once or so a month years ago.

They also used to have two drive-in's until they sold the land because it would've cost more to upgrade their projectors to digital format (especially just running them from May to October).

I don't mind drive ins, but I wouldn't be able to make it through 2 whole movies let alone 3.

Used to take my hatchback...fold down the rear seats & lay down in the back where I could stretch out. Would back up the car & watch out of the big back window. Plus...if you had "company"...didn't need a heater to keep the inside warm. Would take my own food/drinks & have a foam pad for comfort with
sleeping bags. When I had an F-150...would take lawn chairs & such in the
back. If it rained...always kept a tarp...so would stay warm.

Loved the drive-in! Too bad the land is more valuable for condo's...rather
than being a way to get out of the house...stay safe in the confines of your vehicle.

BTW...ordered a 120 in 6x9 projection screen which just came in today. With
my projector...no more glowing screen.

So funny story, I ended up having to work and ended up missing the movie!

Fortunately I was able to get a refund for The Goonies but finished work
early enough to end up going to the drive-in to see ET instead.

Looks like The Goonies is playing again this upcoming weekend so I'll see if
I can actually manage to see it this time.
