Drive-In (1976)
10/10
Excellent comedy with a Texas touch but anywhere possibilities

This one of many very funny comedies of the 70's. It is one of my top 5 which is amazing as it has no big names or stars from comedy troupes. I never laughed so hard as when the inept robbers comment of "that gun ain't got no safety" or Orville's brother 'Little Bit' (Engleberg from Bad News Bears) saying "They're pink as bubble gum". The movie playing at the drive-in (Disaster 76) was hilarious in itself and scenes from it played right into some of the funniest scenes of the real movie such as the dam breaking and flooding the town on the screen at the same time as the flood from the van's punctured water bed coming down the drive-in lane causing the black doctor from out of town to wish he had not stopped for a movie in this southern town. There are just way to many funny moments to mention them all. I highly recommend this movie and put it right up there with Young Frankenstien and Monty Python's The Holy grail from the same time frame. Where is the DVD???
