"Why is everyone yelling? Why are there so many people here? Why are those twelve-year-olds in heels?”
These are the sort of questions that cross my mind when I go to Muvico(now Cinemark) on a Friday or Saturday night. Perhaps you have wondered the same thing. Fear not. I think I have found the answer to all of our movie-going qualms.
My friend Bianca went to the drive-in movies last week, and was kind enough to take a few notes for me. The outdoor theater is at the Swap Shop (3291 W. Sunrise Blvd.) and tickets are $ 6.00 per person. Find movie times and more information here.
Positives:
- Starts right on time
- Pick your own seat or choose where to park your truck or convertible (say “goodbye” to front row, crooked necked agony).
- Control the volume of the movie from your own radio.
- Enjoy the great outdoors.
- Movies like they used to be
Negatives
- Less flexibility with movie selection and show times
- More preparation needed
- Weather dependent
- "Stranded at the drive-in…”
Helpful Hints
- Cooler weather is ideal.
- Bring a handheld radio so you don’t have to worry about leaving your car on.
- "Yes this is my pickup truck, and no I won’t take you to the drive-in movies.” Pleeeeeeeease? A pickup truck with an open bed is perfect for this venue. Stock up on blankets, sleeping bags, and hot cocoa. Back up to the screen and enjoy.
- They don’t allow you to lay on the ground, so bring lawn chairs if you don’t want to sit in the car.
