Way back when I was 10 or 11 years old, I went to the Riverview Drive-in with my family, and I Remembered saw the James Bond movie there (Live and Let Die). I still remember that theme song from that movie today, song by Paul McCartney and the Wings I remembered fell asleep in the car there, that came out in the 70s
