"Drive-In Movie Memories" is a film celebration of America's greatest icon of youth, freedom and the automobile. What began as an auto parts owner's business venture to make some easy money accidentally became a magical place where romance, fun and a sense of community flourished. This film chronicles the drive-in's birth and development, its phenomenal popularity with audiences of all ages, its tragic decline, and its inevitable comeback as a classic form of Americana.

This 58-minute documentary described by Variety as "slick and entertaining" includes photos and footage from the mid-1930s until today, lively interviews with "cast" members ranging in age from 14 to 83, clever sound effects and powerful original music. Notables such as Leonard Maltin, Barry Corbin, Burton Gilliam, Beverly Garland, Samuel Arkoff, and Joe Bob Briggs bring vitality and excitement to this nostalgic topic.

Using fast pacing and clever editing, "Drive-In Movie Memories" covers every aspect of the drive-in movie-going experience: early outdoor projection, the marriage of the car and the movie, architects and drive-in construction, sound projection solutions, ways to cope with the elements, food trailers and concession stands, families and entertainment, teenagers and passion, church services, celebrity appearances, sex and exploitation films, the effects of daylight savings time, television and the VCR, and the drive-in's decline and comeback. This film touches the hearts of young and old alike and makes them want to experience the drive-in movie again and again.
