Cinemas I was surprised to hear that drive-in movie threatres still exist in some parts of America, and they sound idyllic:
"As pink clouds moved silently across the sky, a few more cars of people showed up mid-film to secure a spot for the next half of the doubleheader. Breezes blew gently, drifting the film's soundtrack throughout the car park. Dawn Carter sat on a blanket with her husband Mike, while their 3-year-old daughter Mikayla, in her pajamas, prepared to settle in for the night. A bright quarter moon vied with the film for attention."
Another fad which never appeared on British shores (the weather presumably) although the Stella Artois screen series tried something similar. Backbeat appeared at the Pier Head in Liverpool but was severely rained off so they haven't been back since. Perhaps if they'd actually shown a good film...
