This drive-in was a staple of my early youth.
In the mid 70’s, I saw The Poseidon Adventure though I fell asleep. Saw Star Wars during initial run in ‘77 and a year later (remember seeing the classic “D” poster in the concession stand). I saw ALIEN there in 1979; my dad worked as a security guard at an office building next door and saw the Chestburster scene half a dozen times before seeing the full film! Mad Max played there in 1979/80, according to an ad I remember seeing in a local paper.
I do remember vividly being able to see one of the screens from 128.

Every time I’ve used the Logan Shuttle, I’m sad to see that it’ll never come back again.

I spent my summers growing up in nearby Manomet and saw many films there. I saw Star Wars for the first time (of many) here, in July 1977, when it was a two screen theater.
Off the top of my head, I know I saw the following films during my years growing up here: The Empire Strikes Back, Cujo, Wargames, Octopussy, Back To The Future, Mad Max-Beyond Thunderdome, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Die Hard and The Dead Pool.
I also worked for one day as a projectionist-trainee in the early Summer 1987 when they were showing Dragnet. They had a platter system.
