As we reminisce about childhood summers, the thrill of watching movies from the comfort of a car brings back a wave of nostalgia. Let's take a closer look.

I have fond memories of going to drive-in movie theaters with my parents. However, I do wonder why my mom and dad would take me to see movies like Friday the 13th and Hell Night when I was 10 years old.  That seems strange.

Drive-in movies were fairly popular when I was a child in the 80s and 90s.  They were huge in the 1950s and 1960s.  At one point in the 1960s, there were more than 4,000 drive-in theaters.  Now there are fewer than 300 nationwide.

Here's a list of the 19 remaining drive-in theaters in Indiana, sorted in alphabetical order by city.
