    In 1982 I worked in the concession stand at a drive-in when I was 15.
    The projector guy. Show me how to switch over the projectors at the end of the reel when the cigarette Burns comes on.😊

    Wow, what great memories. Another memory was watching people search for their car after coming out of the concession stand 🤣🤣🤣🤣; including myself.

    I love these old intermission ads. My favorite memory of the Drive-In Theatre was a 1967 dusk-to-dawn show in Cleveland, Ohio, James Bond All-Night, featuring the first five James Bond movies starring Sean Connery!

    The 99W Drive-in Movie Theater in Newberg, OR has some of the classic intermission ads as well as movie double features from both the 1970's and 1980's. It also has a snack bar and an arcade room. Really awesome drive-in movie place in Oregon! 😊

    This is truly an era that I wished was still around. Watching this brought back so many memories of that yesterday era. I still can remember watching a double feature with my family as a kid back in the day. I remember we watched, Slivious, (I think i spelled it wrong) and the Jeff Bridges movie version of King Kong. I was only five years old at that time, but still remember going to see them at the drive in. It is sad that time in our history is gone, but the memories will last a lifetime. I definitely believe life was much better back then. We were not so divided or angry at each other all the time. Watching this video and that special period in our time, makes me wonder what has happened to us, and the direction we ended up going. Still thank you for posting it was a pleasure to relive some of those golden days from that forgone era.

      Thanks for the kind comments. One of my earliest, vaguest memories was being at a drive-in movie while my parents watched 'Jeremiah Johnson'. I spent many a summer night hanging out with friends at the Georgetown Drive-In in southern Indiana. It still exists and I try to visit whenever I'm back home!! One of my favorite moments happened when they had a late night showing, following 'Cowboys & Aliens' (ugh) of an original print of 'American Graffiti'. It's like that movie was made for drive-in viewing. To keep the mood alive... I've recently purchased an outdoor movie screen for my backyard and I always like to kick off the evening with these Drive-In ads.

    If I’m not mistaken, the theater had to pay a fee to show a film in their theater. They got a small percentage of the box office receipts from the film studio. But they made all their profits from the concession stands. So that why they pushed the intermissions to get people to buy snacks.

      well, number one, it was long to give people time to go spend money at the concession stand, and number two there's a blu ray out with about TWELVE HOURS worth of these called HEY FOLKS! IT"S INTERMISSION TIME. Something Weird put them out years ago and now AFGA released them all on two discs.
