I am a teenager that has driven past your Winnipeg drive-in many times and to my dismay there have been no good movies playing. They are all very unappealing. The odd time that the film industry does come out with a good movie I hate to say but I would much prefer to go to Silvercity about ten minutes away. The problem is is that you are competing in a race that you can’t win. People would much prefer to go to a real cinema to see the recent movies, so what the drive-in has to do is be different. My suggestion is that they play the old movies. The movies could be anything from the start of film to the present day, focusing more on the old movies though. I would love to drive past the movie theatre and see that an old Agatha Christie was playing or maybe a movie form the eighties. If it is not possible to switch to the old films all the time, it would be really neat if you had the old movies playing maybe once a week. By playing the old movies you would be a lot different than the other movie centers and therefore losing quite a lot of competition. There have been a lot of good movies throughout the years and they need to be played so that young people like myself can experience them. There have been some good movies recently but unfortunately there are also a lot of bad ones and in order to be continually playing movies you are forced to play them. That’s not to say years ago there weren’t bad ones also, but you would only be playing the good ones, which there were quite a lot of. The drive-in is something that needs to be remembered for everyone and the movies should be maybe more family geared not movies that only adults should be seeing. The drive-in could become a really neat place for people to remember the old times; it’s too bad they already built the ‘50’s museum here in Winnipeg because the drive-in would have been a really neat place to have it. Nostalgia is in and that could really be brought out by playing the old movies!
Thank you for your time and I hope you really consider my letter because like many others would really love to see the drive-in stay open!
