Maleficent was very disappointing to me (luckily I didn't have to pay to see that one). I saw Dragon 2 in front of X-men. Both were good. The closest Drive in to me is in Dallas, OR (yes there is such a place xD). Personally I think there should be more of them. Waaaaaay cheaper than a normal theater.
Definitely agree, plus the atmosphere is more fun as well. You can bring your lawn chairs, a comfy blanket, a picnic basket full of snacks and bunch of family and friends. no better way to enjoy a movie on the big screen..

I put old Mercedes Benz seats in the back of my pickup, and use a cooler for an armrest, then the rest of my bed space is taken up by a full size mattress.
