15 Cool Drive-In Theaters Where You Can Watch A Movie Retro-Style

The Warwick Drive-In has been going strong since 1950, although it's changed hands quite a few times since then. It's one of the only movie theaters in the Warwick area, which may explain why it's still so popular.

According to their site, the theater can play up to three movies at once, and current movie options are almost identical to what one might find at an ordinary theater. Adult tickets are $10, seniors and kids get in for $6 and children under age 4 are free.

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.

This drive-in doubles as an arcade and features a full snack bar as well as a fleet of go-karts.
