The drive-in theater has been a fixture of American culture since [[The Thirties]]. Every summer night (and all year round in warmer climates), millions of viewers pay the admission fee for themselves and their friends (at least the ones who aren't hiding in the trunk), get some snacks at the concession stand, and watch two (or more) movies projected on an outdoor screen from the privacy and comfort of their cars. Although drive-ins are most popular in the United States, they exist around the world. The drive-in is an enduring symbol of Americana whose continued existence defies some heavy odds.

* The multiplayer map "Drive-In" from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Call of Duty Black Ops]]'' is set in an [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|abandoned drive-in]].

* One of the levels in ''[[Twisted Metal Black]]'' is a drive-in theatre. A well placed missile can destroy the screen.
