I noticed a mention of Drive-ins in the "I have never" thread.
Well, I grew up in Iowa in the 1950's and 1960's ... the glory years of drive in movies and have the sense that some people have no idea what they missed. Movies that we all watched in drive-in theaters were of a special cut and I am sorry, but many of these were not to be missed as part of a Midwestern growing-up experience. Movies about space invaders, movies about Zombies, movies about women in prison, movies about sicko Nazi Doctors ... and yes even movies about car racing and moonshining.
My favorite of the whole bunch? James Caan in "Red Line 7000." Directed by Howard Hawks!
I kind of expect this to be a short thread since Drive-ins are not around any more ... but what the hell, it is appropriate to simply mention films that ... in the day ... properly would have opened at the local drive-in. That will loosen it a bit.
