Drive-In Movie for Two

To complete the authentic movie experience, bring along popcorn or movie candy like Jujyfruits, Hot Tamales, Junior Mints, and Whoppers. You can usually find them at video rental shops like Blockbuster, but call first before heading over. And don’t forget the soda pop!

This last point is very important, make sure your DVD player or laptop batter is fully charged and, in the case of the laptop, will play an entire movie.

If the back seat seems a little cramped, find a place where you can lay out a blanket and watch your movie under the stars.
