Awhile back, I asked readers to select what movies they’d show at their dream drive-in show. Thanks to these folks who replied!
John S. Barry: Sonny Boy, Curtains, Disconnected, Phantasm 4, Fathers Day, Town That Dreaded Sundown, Mutant. Tried to get into the idea of sitting outside in Kansas in the summer as a young man.
I’m totally down with The Town That Dreaded Sundown, I saw that at the drive-in a few years ago. The new one is really worth of watching, too!
Phil Freeman: The Stuff, Rolling Thunder, Desperate Living, Rock n Roll High School, Planet of the Vampires, 2,000 Maniacs, Spider Baby, Day of the Animals
Some great picks on here, Phil! The Stuff is one of my favorites of all time. And I’ve gone on and on about my love of Rock ‘n Roll High School!
J. Worthington Farnsworth: Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!, Once Upon a Time in the West, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, The Shining, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Point Break, Snatch, Empire Strikes Back.
I like the range here. Pee Wee’s BIg Adventure is a great drive-in film and it ends at the drive-in!
