The drive-in movie theater is back in style. California's first drive-in movie theatre opened in June of 1938 (there were less than 15 "auto theatres"
in all of America at that point).

Many drive-in theaters have shut there doors since outdoor films first gained popularity, but across the country, especially in warmer climates, some still survive and thrive. This is a list of drive-in movie theaters in California. As drive-in theaters seem to shut down without much notice, I highly recommend calling your selected movieviewing location before heading out to make sure it's still open. If you find out one of these is closed, please let me know in a comment and I'll make sure to take it off my list!
