Hey, V K. Seems like they took the Longest Day video off line.

This movie was around 1963 and watching it is burned into memory as a singularly great young boy experience.

I was 11 years old. My parents took me and 5 younger brothers and a sister were packed in like sardines to watch the movie at a drive-in theater.

This was a doubly whammy movie day because the Longest Day was preceded by maybe the best motion picture comedy I ever saw in my life, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Wow, Buddy Hackett, Jonathan Winters, and a ton of other comedians teamed up on this one.

It was a long night...

Alas! Drive-in theaters are becoming extinct. Property and
taxes are forcing them out of business. Loved the theaters.
Different story, different movie: The film “Alien” was seen
by at a drive-in by then future DH and me. My second view, his first. The big surprise toward the end of the movie; quite unexpected. One could probably hear the screams and shouts (even the sobs) 5 blocks away. Theaters, a soon to be
thing of the past.
