Intermission Reel #2

[@xXMaoKittyCatXx]

Must've been nice seeing these as intermissions, so nostalgic!!!

[@SuperFlashDriver]

God watching these in the middle of the night sure makes people's mouths water, just by looking at it.

[@LaPabst]

All thats missing are the PJ's and my sister saying, "MOM! I have to Pee again."

[@veganvocalist4782]

[@EdsterIII]

That's epic sir! Love the comment!

We had 2 Drive-in Theaters in our area. One was just down the road from us. The 41-Twin was our favorite Drive-in Theater. The 24-Outdoor was the second one out in Hales Corners, but they had the Hales Corners Speedway just a little distance from the Drive-in and you'd sometimes hear the cars racing. It wasn't so loud that the sound was bad, but it was a bit more frustrating. The 41-Twin however was in Franklin, Wisconsin. Basically out in the middle of open areas. They initially had 2 screens. Well one Big screen that had 2 sides for movies. Later they added 2 more screens on each end of the Drive-in. The concession stands were on both sides and in the middle between the bigger screen and the newer screens. They had swing sets for the kids, and other necessities for them to be occupied with until the movie started. It was easily one of the most amazing things a kid could hear. "Let's go to the Drive-in!" The 41-Twin like so many other memorable places are long since gone, torn down, abandoned, or leveled. They call it "Progress", but I think it's more greed and other political agendas. A huge insurance company is there now. Sad, just sad.

Ate a lot of this stuff at the North Point Drive-In Theater, Baltimore MD as a kid. Right next store to the Roll-Arena roller skating rink. Both long gone unfortunately. Thanks for the video my friend, good stuff indeed!

A young Gregg Allman saw the Hammond organ ad for that Martin Music Center, and thought, “Yes please!” Just kidding, of course. 😂😂😂

The memory's of these intermission clips bring back so many wonderful childhood memories and experiences. Sitting in the back of the Station Wagon, or the back seat of the car. Mom and Dad up front. The Styrofoam cooler squeaking in the backseat filled with some great snacks, sodas, and of course🍺🍻Dad's🍺beer🍻🍺. But the concession stands had the best stuff! 🌭🌭Hotdogs🌭🌭, 🍔🍔Burgers🍔🍔, 🍕🍕pizza🍕🍕, 🍟🍟Fries🍟🍟, 🥨🥨pretzels🥨🥨, 🍦🍦ice-cream🍦🍦, 🥜snacks🥜peanuts 🥜 and they usually had a pinball machine and a couple other games. Early 70's had the sliding disc 🎳🎳Bowling🎳game🎳🎳, then Space Invaders, Pac-Man🟡 ▪︎▪︎●▪︎▪︎ 👻, etc. For a kid it was just hours and hours of fun with movies too! I can still remember those intermission clips of the bun and the 🌭hotdog🌭. The bun would have the "dog" do flips and jumps and then at the end, he'd jump into the bun! Ta-Da! And those little reminders..... 7 minutes to go until showtime were always fun to remember. It was again just fun, pure fun! If a friend was spending the night it was even better. For me the 70's were so incredibly special. I was born in 1967, so I spent my childhood growing up in the 70's. 🌄🌄Saturday🌄Mornings🌄🌄 were also extremely special. CARTOONS!!!!! LOL. But that's another story. The 70's and early 80's were absolutely incredible. The food tasted better, the movies and television were 1000 X's times better. Sure we only had 4 networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS, as well as one or two other local channels that were unaffiliated with any network. Ours was WVTV Channel-18 and a little later, WCGV Channel-24 came on the air. But television shows were much better than nowadays. Shows had heart and soul. They weren't being based on agendas some political garbage. The characters and the story were always number one. Were there messages? Yes, but they weren't forced down your throat. They were done respectfully and tastefully. Soda, snacks, and especially cereal tasted much better than now. Even though we didn't have "Cable-TV", 500 ➕ channels, 📱📱smartphones📱📱, 💻💻Laptop💻Computers💻💻, thousands of options available for streaming, viewing, whatever, as well as thousands of video game systems and games. We had Pong, and later the Atari 2600, then Mattel's Intellivision. My point is that compared to nowadays, when we were kids we had a LOT LESS than kids have now as far as technology. However it didn't matter. You can't miss what you never had. We did have handheld Mattel Games, and others, but mostly we had one thing, our IMAGINATIONS!! Our imaginations kept us entertained. We built forts out in our backyards or in the woods down the road. We had a small "lake" named Mud Lake. There were some fish, bullhead, some pan-fish, as well as 🐢turtles🐢, 🐸frogs🐸, and 🐍🐍grass🐍and🐍garter🐍snakes🐍🐍. For a kid it was a really great place to be. I really miss those days. Life seemed so much better, and at least where I was people were friendly with one another, and you never needed to worry about your safety.

Thanks for posting!

Fun Fact: The Drive-In intermission ad featuring elves was the original version for theaters that offered a certain brand of ice cream snacks. An alternate version features the elf building an ice cream bar.

[@squashpants]

Yes, I believe I have seen all the various versions, including this one, of course.

[@jimkeskey]

I didn't see any elves here!

[@RIXRADvidz]

6:34, 3 servings in that Buttercup Popcorn cup. 3. yeah, y'all are Laffin' Your Asses Off but people really did eat small back in the olde days, a King Sized Coke, the regular bottle to you and I was enough for 2 back in the Olde Days.

[@jonathancreveling8699]

4:16 If I'm reading this correctly, I believe that copyright date is 1968.

Drive-In Theater Intermission Reel Clips from the United States of America, North America from the early-1950s all the way to the late-1970s!

[@EdsterIII]

What's really sad about Drive-in Theaters is that most were destroyed, abandoned, or rebuilt in the late 90's and early 2000's. But had some of the Drive-in Theaters remained, especially during the Covid-19 Pandemic, when that hit, movie theaters shut down, everything shut down. A Drive in could have been a way to supplement the theaters closing. Granted the concession stands couldn't be open, and patrons would have to stay in their cars, but 2 movies, $5-10 per person could have been extremely helpful to the movie industry. But progress demanded that they tear them down. Just a idea. It would have helped some of the people from going stir crazy stuck at home.

[@mattmanh4242]

I should go back to my local drive in at some point

[@statesresearcher2]

The hot dog and hamburger looks pretty bland to me

[@carlosgarciamusic953]

Alright admins I need to work on myself. See you later

[@patriciamartin6756]

Let's not forget though that it was not all.fun and games back then. It was not quite 1950. I was in 1st grade. I went to a movie that fall. That same month, two of my classmates were dead, one of spinal meningitis; one of polio. ( They believed it was caused by swimming in cold water and doctors warned people not to bathe more often than once a week Several of our neighbors that year were diagnosed with cancer., tuberculosis, Diphtheria There weren't many forms of treatment available So they just died

[@jimkeskey]

People die NOW with cancer.

[@Curly34584]
