"Fence hoppers, and for that matter trunk stowaways, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

LOL

I remember hopping the fence at the El Rancho Drive-In in Sparks, NV once back when I was a 15 year old hooligan.

FYI, The El Rancho is still around today, so if you're in Reno/Sparks, check it out.

I like the Smokey and The Bandit request. We recently did a Burt Reynolds night over at the Starlight in Atlanta, it was amazing. Smokey, Sharkey's Machine and White Lightning. Burt was great but Jerry Reed rules.

If you're into Smokey & The Bandit history, check out http://www.atlantatimemachine.com. Greg Germani has PAINSTAKINGLY re-photographed certain scenes from the movie (e.g. intersections, buildings, bridges, houses, etc) in a "then and now" format. It is incredible, but I'll warn you that you can easily kill an hour or more on this site, it's fascinating! He has done the same with hundreds of historical photos all over Atlanta. Every city should do what Greg has done for Atlanta. It's a real piece of history.

I think we had an issue trying to get Blue Hawaii for the last Tiki-Invasion, but I'll check it out. Great movie, it's soooooo Elvis, we'd LOVE to show that!

Keep the movie ideas coming! Good stuff!
