Sandy!

Who can forget seeing the dancing hot dogs on the big screen while Danny Zuko sang from the playground, after his drive-in date with Sandy went awry in the 1978 classic, Grease. Well, maybe you'd like to forget the song. Or, how about the Galaxy Drive-In, which was destroyed by a twister during a showing of The Shining in 1996's Twister. Many movies have prominently featured drive-in theatres, some real and some fictional. Zuko's Grease Drive-In was the real thing, the now-defunct Studio Drive-In, not far from Hollywood. Galaxy Drive-In Twister's fictional Galaxy Drive-In was actually a set constructed for the movie. Supposedly a Canadian drive-in was hit by a twister during a showing of TWISTER...hmmmm. Michigandriveins.com rates these flicks on a scale of 1 to 5 rating, based solely on the drive-in footage, 5 being the best. Scroll down for for assorted vid-caps and our reviews of selected movies from this list. Be forewarned, there some real stinkers here!
