Since you asked, some randomish drive in memories:
I took my girlfriend on a date to see Flashdance at a nearby drive in (the one in my hometown had become a parking lot by this time). I wanted to NOT watch the movie but since she grew up in Pittsburgh every couple minutes she would be like "LOOK!!! I used to go there!" so we, er, watched the movie. She later married me and to this day Flashdance has been special for us.
The best drive-in story ever! Congrats to you and your good lady!
Seconded!

Not quite as romantic but I went to see an open air screening of " The Great Escape ". Further back were a load of Bikers who were a little bit noisy but who was going to tell them off! Anyway they messed around until....the Steve McQueen Bike sequence. Then they behaved like a sports crowd. When Steve appeared they went " Yayyyy " and threw Beer Cans at each other. Whenever the Germans appeared there were catcalls, Bronx Cheers and inappropriate suggestions! So, of course , to the attempted jump which was accompanied by a gradually rising " ooowwwwahhhHHHHH " as McQueen tries and fails. When the Germans haul him off there is a chorus of jeers. I think they left after that!

*I'm getting all emotional* 
I would think it terribly uncomfortable to be straddling a bike while watching a movie. Sheesh! Bikers. I think they suffer from a self-fulfilling prophecy that mandates rude behavior lest they not be perceived as deserving to dart in and out of traffic whilst flippin the bird at machines much larger than them.  |

Finally, one of my favorite newspaper columns when I was in high school and college was "Joe Bob Goes to the Drive In," which had a bit of notoriety and he lost his job after mocking the "We Are the World" music video, and I lost track of him after that.
I used to enjoy Joe Bob's movie hosting on the USA network. That was when USA was really good and funny, with lots of B grade movie stuff, including the "UP! All Night!" chick, and Gilbert Gottfried taking a turn on Saturday. Because of Joe Bob, I'll always think of the original Willy Wonka film as a horror flick. One time for his horror movie show, Joe Bob featured it, and explained why the beloved children's film was truly a horror movie. And those shirts he wore were awesome.
I didn't know about the "We are Weird" article and subsequent firing. Sounds like something Ann Coulter would write. |

Oh, it happened, he got fired, and for that exact reason. John Bloom was/is his real name. |

People don't know how to attend movies.
