Yup the Mrs and me have ticked another off our “To Do before you snuff it list”, the American institution that is/ was the Drive in movie theatre.

Sit in your car, watch a movie on a 60 foot screen and tune your radio to a set frequency to hear the sound, fantastic. Bridgton is home to a dual screen movie theatre showin not one but 4 movies back to back. You choose the two films you want to see (in this case Iron Man 2 and Shutter Island), for the extremely reasonable price (Britain take note) of $3.25 per film per person (that is actually £2.19 in today’s monopoly money). So we really pushed the boat out, a gallon of popcorn, litre of tea and coffee for, are you ready for this $7 (£4.71). Can anyone tell me why we get royally shafted in the UK?

The screen was perfect, the sound excellent, Iron Man 2 was brilliant, the company as ever was fantastic and the best bit, no annoying people to disturb you with loud conversation or mobile phones.

What a top night, again all part of the meticulous planning by my Tour Guide.

Bridgton Drive in Movie theatre you rock!
