Hey!! I wish TCM would do something similar with some of the great big, wide-screen movie theatres here in the Boston area, such as the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square, the Wang Center for the Performing Arts, and a whole bunch of other big-screen theatres! That would be so cool!
Score a major one for DeAnza (all 4 D/I’s featuring this presentation are owned by DeAnza Land & Leisure Corp – who has spent the last few years massively remodeling and upgrading their existing drive-ins)!
I only wish they were showing double features and some flicks that are a bit more “drive-in-ish.” “Viva Las Vegas” & “Bonnie & Clyde” get a pass, but “Lolita” & “To Catch A Thief” kinda don’t fit the whole drive-in-movie vibe.
Hello from Oregon… we have a delightful drive-in located south west of Portland or north east of Salem. It’s in Newberg on highway 99.
Also owned by a small family who operate the delightful single screen Cameo Cinema
When I was programming the Lafayette I tried, unsuccessfully, to get TCM involved with our shows several times. I wasn’t looking for any sponsorship money from them, just a little publicity and potential help in securing certain titles.
I said years ago that TCM should try something like this at indoor venues. Not just any indoor venue, but real treasures, such as the Ziegfeld in New York, the Lafayette in Suffern N.Y., the Ritz in Elizabeth N.J. Big theatres, with big screens, the way movies should be shown. Perhaps someday this can become reality.

I hope TCM are reading these letters…
