Drive-In Intermission Clips

This is a series of my favorite intermission film clips. I hope you all enjoy it!

[@brassmaster8468]

5:46 Okay. This is a weird pick for a favorite, but I'm fine with it. 6:33 Another Hot Dog Commercial? Okay. I'm still fine. 7:18 I think I'm starting to see a trend in this video. 8:47 Oh My God!!! There are too many Dogs! Imagine if there's an entire clip show of Hot Dog Ads! 9:50 I should've had my big mouth shut. 10:20 That's a lot of Dog. 10:41 ALRIGHT! I think we got the point.

I live minutes away from a Drive-In Theater that's been operating since the 50's. During film intermissions they play retro clips like these.

Do you ever attempt to tune in with your fm radio when you feel like a free movie?😂

Thankful to have a functioning drive-in at my town, they won a nationwide competition a few years back and received a brand new projector. They play these before the movies. Aww the memories.

[@kolonarulez5222]

This is so charming and comforting even for someone whose only experience with drive ins are clips from movies and old Boomerang

[@angelagoodwin5758]

My parents used to take my brother and I to drive-ins in our pjs and would bring a blanket in case we fell asleep. Happy memories!

@Freedumb Monkey I found it on a 1 minute intermission serving refreshments.

[@lisaknox7722]

I remember most of these Usually playing at dusk. And waiting on the snacks from the concession stand.

[@pikespice]

For those of us who aren't old enough to remember drive-ins, we recognize that first minute of clips from the drive-in scene from Grease and John Travolta singing "Sandy".

These are fun to look at very nostalgic

They got to bring back drive in theaters

[@JeffDeWitt]

There are still some around. In 2018 toward the end of my Route 66 trip I watched "Ready Player One" at the Skyline Drive Inn In Barstow, in my Mustang with the top down no less.

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

We have one here in Sacramento California. But they’re quite rare for the most part. I remember back in the early 80’s there was a drive in with 6 screens. It was awesome.

[@royalgarden18]

They're still around but there are very few. People who go are usually just going for the novelty

[@paulbroxon4626]

There are at least 5 near me and one is so close I can pick up the radio broadcast. This drive-in did away with their window speakers like most in my area. But when I take my vintage car I bring my own window speaker for affect.

[@goanimatenetwork3550]

This is great for my art account. When I make a movie having an intermission thanks for uploading this it will be part of my movie for intermission time.

[@mrhand3350]

intermission only before the movie

[@fvckingtest]

I grew up in Miami, FL. and was lucky to attend a dozen or so drive-in theatre films at the Tropicaire Drive-Inn on Bird Rd. By the time I was old enough to really enjoy the movies (9-10) the projector was removed and the theatre closed permanently. I never saw any of these concession stand ads or intermissions. I remember only one and that was one that said, "PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA!" and then showed a picture of the counter with a smiling man holding a pizza and a kid and his parents smiling back at him. I was a kid who loved him some pizza! The last movie I saw there was "The Black Cauldron" which scared the crap out of me. At least the open-air Flea Market lasted for a couple years after the theatre closed. That was our Sunday activity, going to pick cool vintage stuff with my dad and my brother.

[@BeruBeruIce]

We had a station wagon, and the kids would go to sleep on the bedding I fixed in the back for them!

They most certainly do exist. There are 300 drive-ins in the US today (2023). Almost everyone has one within driving distance.

What is it with all those hot dog commercials?

[@brentmann2988]

5:33 Nice!

[@brianarbenz7206]

What may seem an obsession with getting people to go to the concession center was an economic necessity. Drive-in theaters made their revenue only from concession sales. Admission paid for the cost of procuring the movies. There was no profit in it, unless people bought lots of concessions and trinkets on sale.

[@marcusmiro7481]

This is still the case. Theaters make pennies off ticket sales (literally.) Their entire business model is concessions. Unfortunately, wages have not grown with concession prices, so now everything is grossly expensive vs. how much it used to cost. That said, people should visit smaller local theaters. They won't have the newest blockbusters, but they often screen amazing classics, and frequently have some of the best brand new indie films. Their ticket prices and concession prices are usually way more reasonable, and a lot of them serve alcohol :D.

[@tommccallan8802]

Drive inn back in the hay day 80% of revenue.....snack bar

[@brianarbenz1329]

@@marcusmiro7481 Other problems that wiped out Drive-Ins were unpredictable weather, and Daylight Savings Time. Where I live is the westernmost extent of the Eastern Times Zone and in mid-July through August the sun doesn't set until about 9:40 pm. A very thin time frame for showing movies during the peak season.

Why so much hot dogs in the ending?

[@gustyko8668]

I've never been to a drive-in

[@classiclife7204]

Back when the movie industry was a thing, teenagers were expected to get jobs, and movie theaters were one option. For me, it was the 1980s. We sold hot dogs. The order of customer preference seemed to be: popcorn, candy, nachos, hot dogs. I don't think I ever sold a hot dog to a teenager or younger. I never ate one myself, either as employee or guest. (As an employee, I didn't trust them.) Too weirdly substantial for a movie, I think, plus kind of hard to control the dripping ketchup and mustard in the dark. Men 30 and up got hot dogs. They were clearly influenced by this rather MASSIVE pork-push as shown in the theaters during the 1960s and 70s. Never understood our country's fascination with weeners at events like sports games and movies. Popcorn had been around since the start of the movies almost; when did the hot dog conspiracy start? 1950s? Trying to compete with TV, where you could simply watch a show while eating a simple sandwich? I'm sure someone knows the fascinating whys of all this?

[@SquishyZoran]

[@MrTruckerf]

Drive In Theatre Public Service Announcements : Stop The Clock ! Block Daylight Savings!! Stop Cable Television !! SAVE Free TV !! other psa's no sex in the car while in the drive in, drive slow in the drive in, replace your speaker before exiting the drive in, always accompany your children at the drive in ....

[@brianarbenz7206]

Cable TV and Daylight Saving Time hurt the drive-in business. More people staying at home to watch movies on cable. DST on the western edge of a time zone (like where I grew up in Indiana at the western extent of Eastern Time) meant that drive-ins in summer could not start their movies until about 9:40 pm.
