Our local drive-in did yours one better.

Skunks.

They would come around after all the food people dropped and threw out of their windows. You had to be careful not to step on them if you wanted refreshments or a trip to the rest room.

Despite that? I loved going to the drive-in. We would take the pick-up, park it sideways, put a couple of flip-chairs in the back and bring dinner with us. It was a blast.

I'll have to look into any local new ones (preferaby skunk-free)

Our local one is built in a bunker. Nothing can get in and probably in the event of a fire, nothing can get out.

There was a showing of Jaws in Newport harbor near LA a few years ago. The screen was on a barge and people watched it mostly from boats.

I tried signing up for a "boat-in" in Chicago; you rent a boat that holds 6-8 of your guests -- no mixing of strangers -- and these boats would then watch a movie drive-in style on Lake Michigan. The idea was that you signed up for the opportunity to buy tickets (their way of gauging interest), and I managed to squeeze in before they filled up to capacity. I then got an email saying that I was approved to purchase tickets, and that the email with the purchase link would come soon. After non-delivery of a few weeks, a news report came up about how this project crashed before it could get off the ground, because they either didn't file the paperwork properly with the city, or the city just outright said no (both of which are feasible -- city bureaucracy and pettiness strike once again).

On the other hand, I got to watch Apollo-13 at a drive-in with a clear, starry night, and the audience was pretty heartwarming and cute, cheering on key moments and yelling out "PLAY IT AGAIN!" when the movie ended. Fun times.
