Pleasant Hill Motor Movies was located on Contra Costa Boulevard in Pleasant Hill. A large 600 car capacity single-screener, it was constructed in the late 1940's by Robert Lippert, and changed hands several times during operation.

Closed and demolished around 1978, the site is now home to a shopping center.

Farrington's Bar and Grill, an establishment on the former site, is a virtual museum for the Motor Movies drive-in, with numerous photos and artifacts from this once-popular venue.

When first opened, it was called the Concord MotorIn, and was constructed just outside of Sherman Field, a large airfield.

One of those drivein theaters that was constructed adjacent to a well-traveled highway (Route 680) and the screen faced the highway. It was a large drivein that played first run as well as 2nd or 3rd run, and some all-night shows. I saw many triple-bill horror flicks at this drivein. The snack bar was cavernous.
