People treated it like a giant tailgate party, before it got dark out and before the movies started, families were making memories, paying games, laughing, kids giggling and screaming could be heard throughout as the place filled up. So yeah, you can watch a movie at home but there's little to compare when making lasting memories with something that is rare and unique like a drive-in.
mom used to make a pizza or sandwiches and we would park the pickup in the back row and sit in the back of the truck to watch the movie. There was a playground up by the screen and the atmosphere was just as you describe. Simpler times
