looking for a good place around brisbane that still does them.

Yatala is a good 30-45 minute drive from my place, anything closer you know of?

The only place in brisbane is the ones at yatala. Not quite brisbane but it's the only ones in the area.

And highly recommended

(googled and ninja'd my OP.)

So there's nothing closer to brissie? I remember a while ago they were everywhere.

About 9 - 10 years ago yes.

More like 20 years ago.

they're s*** anyway, you dont end up seeing the movie, just going drinking piss with your mates, which you can do elsewhere, for frees

A drive-in? seriously why? The novelty wears off pretty quickly.

It's cool if you havne't been to one before. They are quite crap, and yatala is full of ferals.

I went to the drive-in movies for the first time 3 weeks ago
i went to the 9pm session at yatala on a sunday night.
i found it to be excellent. my falcon seats are almost lounge chairs anyway, recline them a bit, works well. Tune the radio into the frequency, windows up, make as much noise opening packets/laughing/talking as you like. Can't hear another person too. Plus it was only $10 per person. I'll definitely be going again. I think the secret is to not go on a friday or saturday night.

just dont go in the summer coz the first movie will be shown with the sun still on the horizon n ya can't see s***. sound quality is horrible too. home cinema ftw.

I went with the missus for valintiesn day. Good times. Bottle of bubbly i didnt have to pay the earth for, bit of sushi. some chick flick, but meh.

sound quality is horrible too.

your car is doing it wrong

Werd is they are doing a Transformers 2 / Terminator 4 double at the moment.

Went last friday, kinda sucked a bit with a couple of light showers but I hadn't been since I was a kid and still enjoyed myself. I think the best part is not hearing anyone else and just being in your own little world. Can even have sex without anyone worrying.

Movies should sound fuly sik in my car then. Pity my seats are s*** :(

Never been to the drive-ins. Should have gone while the Aspley one still existed :(

Never been to the drive-ins.

Neither I.

nope.
And minxy, yeah me too. Go to yatala though, it's worth the drive.

I'm officially a Southsider now so Yatala's not too far away anymore. Would have preferred driving back to Aspley though

last drive in i went to was 11 years ago to see saving private ryan followed by true lies.

waiting for the 'SPOTTED: MJ AT YATALA' thread...


it's been yeeears since I've been to a drive in.


Can ya still have a smoke on the site these days or has that changed?


Fair enough it's a 40min drive down there, but that's nothing considering the hours I've tolerated standing along side drunk peeps @3am in the city just waiting for a taxi after work


link ?

Also I originally started going to the drive in for a novelty however now with a newborn it makes heaps more sense to go to the drive-in instead of pissing everyone else off in a cinema.

Depends. If you've got a "fuleh shik yuleh" 4 sub setup with little attention to anything else it'll sound like trash. Sounded OK in the GF's car with one sub and some kicker and kenwood gear.

I kept thinking I should turn it down though to not disturb people even though they where watching the same movie as me haha.

Werd is they are doing a Transformers 2 / Terminator 4 double at the moment.

Saw that last saturday.

I used to love the drivein, used to goto the one in richlands - that one was good, wish it was still there. I remember one time the queue was so big our old gemini overheated in the lineup to get in and I had to push the thing though the booth to pay ahah

heh, last drive in i went to was with the missus and we saw happy gilmore

we smoked a bowl and laughed ourselves stupid and ate a f***ton of lollys

THIS and things like it, is what makes Drive Movies great fun.
