On Oct. 18th these movies will be shown ala double feature at the Ritacco Center in Toms River for only $10.

I was born just after Jaws was released so it will be great to finally see it on the big screen.

Whoa, is this a drive in double featue?? I'm so there if so!

They should combine the two so Frenchie gets eaten.

Honk!

The Nature Boy

I thought that was Frankie Avalon's job. Beauty School Dropout.

Sadly, drive-ins in NJ have gone the way of the dodo.

Actually the movies will be played in an auditorium style theater. The desired effect is a drive-in experience.

Check out this article for info on a new Drive-in theater being proposed in Wall township:

When I see this thread, I realize how spoiled us Angelinos are to have double-features of classic films every single day.

The Nature Boy

I realize that, but I thought this was in reference to the Wall Speedway one that was proposed. Supposedly they were trying to have it up and running 6 days a week(racing the other day) for the Fall season.

And if you are interested, there are 2 just outside northern NJ, one in Warwick NY( www.warwickdrivein.com ) and also one in Pennslyvania that escapes me. NJ needs a drive in, we are the damn birthplace of them!

The Bus

Yeah but you pay outrageous sums of money for housing.

The Nature Boy

You sure are. Any links to theaters that feature them so I can just hate where I live more?

NYC actually does a good job, and there are everyday screenings of classic films, but going to NYC from Jersey every day for a film gets to be cost prohibitive(parking is killer, or the mass transit cost is more than the movie).

The Arclight is the one I heard about, I'd love to see something similar in Jersey or NY.

For all the high price and sometimes-a-pain reserved seating, the Arclight is a high class joint all the way. They'll do anything for you. (They'll even refund unused tickets, even if you return them AFTER the showing has already taken place.)
