Fall 2003 Highlights: Drivee-In Classics
Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 05:47 PM
Highlights for the 2003-2004 season. Put the fun back into your television movie watching with Drive-In Classics – a celebration of the funny, entertaining and sometimes provocative drive-in movies of the '50s, '60s and '70s. Drive-in theatres represent one of the last great icons from the golden era, an innocent period of North American culture defined by the emergence of baby-boomer teens as consumers of pop culture and their love affair with chrome-plated automobiles. It's fun in the sun, bikinis on the beach, action on the drag strip, and monsters on the loose. Drive-In Classics... welcome to your theatre under the stars. NEW TV SERIES AT THE DRIVE-IN: Drive-In Classics is introducing TV series to its program line-up in August. This includes the Canadian television premiere of the fan favourite series Witchblade. WITCHBLADE Canadian Television Premieres Every Friday night, beginning August 1 The story of a New York detective whose search for justice brings her into contact with an ancient, intelligent living weapon so powerful it can battle Earth's darkest evil forces. Based on the best-selling comic book and stars Yancy Butler as Sara Pezzini. BLACK SCORPION Every Monday night, beginning August 4 A comic book-style action series starring former Miss Kansas, Michelle Lintel, as a straight-laced cop by day, who turns into sexy crime fighter ‘Black Scorpion’ at night.

STEAMY WINDSHIELDS Every Saturday Night after 10pm ET Re-live those hot summer nights with STEAMY WINDSHIELDS every Saturday on Drive-In Classics.

These sizzling movies are why the drive-in became so popular.
