As we know, movie theaters are shuttered, due to mounting case totals of CoVid-19. Happily, drive-in theaters are relevant again and seeing a filmatic resurgence. While there are very few new movies (Palm Springs, Greyhound, and Trolls World Tour are among the six we’ve covered below), classic favorites — the oldies but goodies — are now brightening up our outdoor mega-screens.
We’ve been paying attention. RunPee began adding Peetimes to the app’s database 2008, but didn’t write regular movie reviews until 2015. So we decided to backtrack a few decades to dip into the Well of Souls, where all good movies are kept. And write them up for the RunPee app and blog. Each week we’re filling in the blanks on more treasured favorites.
Here’s a round-up of 26 classics we’ve covering this summer, in no particular order, many of which can be seen at drive in theaters across the USA:

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
July 11, 2019
I’ve loved this app for years and use it at the theater and home. Super easy to use and so helpful to know when it’s a good time to run for the restroom. I notify my kids when it’s close to time, so I don’t end up running them to the restroom multiple times. (Updated review from 4 to 5 . I’d had an issue with the app while at the theater and it was quickly resolved with FANTASTIC customer service. Thanks, RunPee!)
