i would rather watch a movie at a drive-in but only if the weather is good outside. i picked a drive-in because you have more freedom to talk and stuff instead of a standard movie theater where you have to be quiet for all the other people watching the movie.  also you can take a truck to the drive-in and lay in the back while watching the movie.
