This is the best drive-in movie theater in Georgia, new ranking says

What’s old is new again. At least when it comes to going to the movies.

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, drive-in movie theaters are seeing a resurgence around the country as people look for socially distanced, safe entertainment options.

In that spirit, a new ranking rounded up the best drive-in movie theater in every state. For reference, according to the United Drive-In Theatre Owner's Association, there are 305 drive-in theaters currently operating across the country. Louisiana and North Dakota are the only states without an operating drive-in.

"Over the years, some of these retro establishments have closed down, renovated, and then reopened decades later with a new modern feel. However, other drive-ins have remained untouched by time, with the exception of a few minor technological updates," the new ranking, published by House Beautiful, reads.

Here in Georgia, the list gave a nod to Starlight Drive-In off Atlanta's Moreland Avenue. It's been open and operating for about seven decades, maintaining its retro charm.

“Starlight Drive-In Theatre ... became popular in the '50s for its Art Deco style and affordable entertainment. Now, almost 70 years later, the Starlight Drive-In is still thriving,” House Beautiful notes in its roundup.

The drive-in is open seven days a week. Check out the film offerings and showtimes here.
