Although it might seem like the days of the drive-in movie theater have passed, drive-ins around the country are seeing a resurgence in popularity.
And why shouldn't they?
Most drive-ins are substantially cheaper than ordinary theaters, and movie-goers can bring their own comfortable chairs and use their cell phone all they like. Even better, there are no sticky floors or mysterious substances on the seats.
While some of the drive-ins on our list have been around for more than half a century, others were built in the last decade, and one was built just last year. Most have a cool retro atmosphere and are open roughly from Memorial Day until Labor Day, making them the perfect low-key summer outing for almost anyone.

This Southern Maine drive-in offers two movies shown on separate screens each night starting at 8:45.
Moviegoers can get any item on the food menu for under $5, and the prices can't be beat — just $15 pays for an entire car, no matter how many people are in it! The theater has been in operation since 1950, but due to rising movie industry costs it's now in danger of closing.
