Hollywood KNIGHTS. The drive in got blown away by hurricane a couple of years later, all except for the marquee the wise guy owner proceeded to put gone with the wind on the marquee.

Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

Jeez, I worked at one during a high school summer vacation. It was a farce, strict portion control, but we were allowed to make our own pizzas for lunch. Which we loaded with enough ingredients that would have rendered them twice of what we would have charged for a regular one.
I think they were related to Hardee’s hamburger chain.
Judging from the caption of that photo, what you don’t see any more is proper grammar.
I'm not sure whether to be impressed by the accuracy of the dialect conveyed by the phrasing of that question, or just disappointed by it on general principle.
In any case, for me, I'm fairly sure the answer would be "Smokey and the Bandit."
Speaking of pizza places, I'm rather surprised to see that this chain still exists, albeit with a much smaller footprint:
The one we used to go to in the Atlanta suburbs was gone long ago. When we made the trek down there, it was a special occasion indeed. The two-hour car ride to get there was worth it, because I got to see my cool aunt & uncle, eat pizza, and pour quarters into the jukebox which was loaded with ELO records.

I really was not watching the screen at the time.
Last ever drive-in for me was at Surrey, BC and the film was "The Fifth Element". 1990s, sometime...
If you would have gone to see "Closed For The Season" you might have froze to death.
They played the Matt Helm Spy movies this week and I caught a couple. I forgot how schlocky and entertaining they were! He’s constantly smoking Lucky Strikes, drinking and driving, escaping impossible situations but he always gets the lady and the bad guy. I laughed and enjoyed them! Probably couldn’t make today but innocent fun.
"Jaws"
Lol! Sorry at least one other person was peeved at how this was worded. If I knew how to correct the grammar at my end I would have.I'm not sure whether to be impressed by the accuracy of the dialect conveyed by the phrasing of that question, or just disappointed by it on general principle.

.Smokey and the Bandit? Last time I saw that was in the 80s. So funny that I remember this was on cable ( USA Channel?) at about 3am in our motel room post gig. We were on the road in Juneau, Alaska. Yep. It was all parties and girls back then.
No worries; In some parts of the world, that's just how such a question would be likely to be phrased.
Here, this might trigger you…
Somewhere, in some box, I still have my name tag/badge. That was the last time I ever worked in food service.
No, we didn't have any uniforms. The snacks booth/entry was pretty small. So was the drive-in. I mostly made popcorn.
There are still a few drive-in movie locations in my area.
The Silver Drive-In is only a few minutes from my house. I have not seen a movie there in many years.
