The latest I can find the theatre playing double bills is 1982 (from Ed Solero’s clippings).
In fact, this is what was playing on the weekend of March 5th, 1982.
Screen 1: Death Wish II/Prom Night
Screen 2: Enter The Ninja/Evilspeak
Screen 3: Evil Under The Sun/Endless Love
Thanks Jim Bono for sending me this site. I managed the Westbury Drive-In in the early 80’s and know at least 2 people writing into this forum – Bill Mitchell who took over as manager of the Drive-In when I became Divsion Manager, and Bob Tooley who managed the Cinema 150 Theatre in Syosset(Woodbury). Bob was fortunate and deserving to run the premier showcase of UA theatres in Nassau County, at the time. Beautifully run and maintained and I’m glad to let Bob know that now. Bill, hope you see this and thanks for the cases of nacho trays when I needed them.

Hi Rick! You were right … it WAS the best job I’d ever have.
Lost Memory, is it possible that the fact that the highway was always backed up (traffic-wise) on both sides due to people trying to enter the Sunrise Drive-In contributed to that drive-in’s ultimate closing down? Just curious.
btw—sounds like you all had lots of fun going to the drive-ins.
Hi Bill, send me an e-mail so we can catch up.
I guess it was the late 60’s when I saw some Jerry Lewis film and I may have seen the Long Long Trailer with Lucy .
Here is the grand opening ad from Newsday on June 23, 1954, for the Westbury Drive-in.

Hello, can someone tell me where I can find information as to what movies played at the Westbury drive in…in the summer of 1996?? Thanks
Chris…I would try Newsday or booking office for UA..
If NYozoner can find an ad from 1954 they sould have stuff on file..
in the mid to late 80s my parents and i went to the drive in a lot and now they tell me about getting a kick out of seeing these dogs and cats on the screen before the shows started for the evening. i really dont remember too well as i was so young.
