Starlight Drive-In Theatre

Good place to watch a couple of movies. I like how some people bring their own stuff and hang out at the back of their trucks. Very convenient.

Firstly we love the movie experience and have been going with friends convoy style. Went last night and what a shame that there has been little upkeep. It is charming but the screens have rust marks and trees/​weeds growing blocking the screen. The lot is sorely needing repaving.
The sound quality is great and we bring chairs, food and drinks. Hopefully they will clean the place up a bit and cut the blocking trees.

You can bring your own food (just cleanup behind yourselves) and catch a double (triple on weekends) feature. I think kids under a certain age are free! Can’t beat the convenience and money you’re saving. If you want to use the restrooms or concession then this is where it’s not up to «movie theater» standards, but not a biggie to most patrons.

Does anyone know if they show previews before the movie starts? Haven’t been in forever.

You can bring your own food big plus, watch two movies for price of one. Bring cash they don’t except cards at all.

Went to see 13 Hours on opening night. Along with Daddy’s Home. Every thing was good till the movie started. Movie kept shutdown. After an hour of working on it word got around that it was broke. So we went up to get a refund and was told it will be moved to another screen but it would take another hour and we could go watch one of the other movies that were over half way. We went and watched Ride along 2. Also opening night. After waiting another hour we go back up to check on the progress and they have not even opened the other area to the new screen. Was told again movie should start in 10 minutes. 45 minutes later we go back for the 3 time and the time is 10:20 pm and before I could say anything I was told the movie start at 10:10. I asked what time it was and he looked at his phone and saw the time. I said yep. I told him every thing is still locked up and a lot of people are still waiting and the next showing was filling up the area where we started at. They didn’t tell the people coming in the projector was broke and move to another. So I asked for a refund and it was returned. It really seems the ticket group was told it would be moved but the people who run the projectors had no idea it was being moved. Now it’s 10:30 pm and no way to get anywhere to see the movie tonight. A manager would have helped to fix the problem I’m sure. First time this has happened to us here so let’s hope it’s the last.

I really enjoy going here we can bring our own food and even grill out and enjoy a movie. I don’t like that people be smoking it’s awful I couldn’t even enjoy my movie the last time when I went to see Straight out of Compton due to a man smoking a cigar but the snack bar is good I would of gave it a five but the smoking is a no go

This is pretty good for a drive in. The price is right for $ 9 per person considering it gets you two movies. The picture and sound quality were great, no issues. I have never gone to the snack bar so I can’t speak of that, but the men’s bathroom while certainly not great was at least clean, although could use a nice remodel/​facelift. Be careful over the humps in the parking lot to make sure your car doesn’t bottom out, but on a weeknight it’s pretty quiet and a great way to spend an evening relaxing seeing current movies.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here (over a year), but here’s my review anyway.
I don’t really know what to say about the Starlite. With that being said, let me run down the list of pros & cons:
–This is the only drive-​in movie that I know of in all of Georgia. (I don’t know if that’s a pro or con.)
Cons:
–The location is not near the best of neighborhoods.
–The line is ridiculously long for an anticipated new movie.
–The parking lot is absolutely horrible.
–It’s too dark to see where you’re driving and they want you to keep your lights off.
–There should be some kind of lit markers or something around the parking lot.
–Other people act like it’s a tailgating party during the movie (loud music, coolers with beer) and nobody says anything.
–The consession stand wasn’t open during the movie. Only snack machines near the bathrooms.
Pros:
–The admission price is less than $ 10 per car.
–You get an automatic double-​feature with your admission

I recently went with one of my meetup groups. We got there really early so that we could reserve front row parking spots. I have to say, this place is just a bit confusing. I was over on theater 4 – 6 side. I could not figure out which screen was which. Why? There are no signs on the screens saying which is which. AND the radio stations that are posted on the screens don’t match what they tell you when you drive in (and also on your ticket). At least not at the screen I was at. I was not the only one confused. A number of us were talking amongst ourselves trying to figure out if we were in the right spot. One lady walked back up the front to confirm. Luckily, we were in the right spot. But, seriously, they could make it alot easier for non-​regulars. So that is my gripe.
I do take back my comment in my previous review that you can hear the movie just fine from the front row. You definitely need a radio on even there. I ran my radio thru the first movie and my car totally died. :-(Luckily, the staff are on the ball and they have the starter machine so you don’t have to hook up cables (which we were in the middle of doing when someone walked up).
Even with the cons, it is a great deal for a couple of new movies. Still can come early and grill or bring whatever food you want. Come on. Who wouldn’t like that. I advise bug spray or zappers to save your extremities.

Love date nights there. Nothing can compare to the drive in. Great location. Latest movies. Good prices. Minus one star for the snack bar is terrible. Needs a major upgrade improvement

I have come here a few times now. I have a great time each time I go. It’s always fun to get there early and bring some dinner (pizza) and beer/​wine. It’s a great atmosphere and a great place to just hang out.
My reason for missing the final star was just because of how long it took me to get through the line. I showed up for the 9pm screening at about 9:15 (I was coming from the airport). I figured that it wouldn’t be much of a line since I was already pretty late. Wrong. The line took over 15 minutes from the road to the ticket booth. I cannot understand how it took this long as there were 4 lanes… Just wish they had been a bit more streamlined, as it is not that there are a lot of items they are selling…
Great evening event, especially for a family as the kids tickets are like $ 2 or something silly.

I haven’t been to the drive-​in in about 10 years and its still the memorable experience that I remember. The cost was $ 12 for two people to view a double feature.
We went to see Jurassic Park, and it was playing back to back on the same screen, so although we arrived near the end of the screening, it began again about ten minutes later, so we were able to catch it from the beginning.
Parking was easily found on a Wednesday evening and it wasn’t packed with people, but the people that were there seemed to be having a good time.
We didn’t eat at the concession stand, why would we, since you can bring in your own food and liquor, however, as I was going to the bathroom, I noticed that the sign on the door said cash only.
The bathroom was clean, but again that may have come from it being a Wednesday nite, and the place not being over packed.
I will suggest confirming sure you get the correct radio station for listening to the movie when you enter, as the radio station that appeared on our receipt was not the one that we had to tuned into to listen to the movie.

I’ve never been to a drive inn movie theatre and I was pleasantly surprised. The screens are a lot better than I imagined. I went to see this movie with a bunch of friends. We got there early about an hour before the show and we took over about 4 parking spots and had a BBQ. Someone brought a grill and we set a table with a variety of food.
Before I came to this place I checked out the website to read it there were any rules about food or drink. It said no alcohol, but I saw people bring it anyway and there isn’t anyone at the theatre that enforces that no alcohol rule. I believe this place is supposed to be double features, but we saw a brand new movie so they only showed us one. I didn’t mind anyway, my husband and I couldn’t sit through 2 movies anyway. A bunch of us sat on lawn chairs rather than sit in our cars.
In order to hear the sound of the movie, you need your car to listen through FM transmitter or have a portable radio with a FM transmitter. We have a newer car and found that our car would shut off automatically if the engine is not running to save battery, so it was kind of annoying to restart the car so we didn’t restart it and just listened through other peoples cars. Not the best way to hear, but we still enjoyed it. My friend brought a portable stereo too. we did play music from FM stations, but when it came time for the movie — her radio could not find the right station for the movie. So beware and be prepared in case you’re thinking about bringing your own radio. They have a bathroom and snack place. The cost per person is $ 9. I don’t think I would come here if it’s just 2 people, this place is more fun with a group of people because the fact that you can come early and eat/​drink and socialize a bit before the movie. If it’s just a date for 2, just go to a regular movie theater.

This place is my jam. I love how cheap it is, the gritty quality of the screens, the fact that you’re listening to the audio on your radio, people are bbq-​ing, drinking, smoking, & playing soccer before the movie starts, and, of course, the craptastic food that will probable kill you.
It’s sort of like stepping back in time… but still getting to watch new releases.

I paid to attend the 8:30p.m. showing (2 people) for Home then 10:30p.m. showing for Insurgent on SCREEN 1.
The projector didn’t play the movie Home, the movie was started over 3 times and then it finally went out.
I demanded a refund, I told the manager whom was giving out 30day vouchers to come back, I don’t live here in GA. I live in Chicago. I explained to her I won’t be back until June. The manager would only give me a voucher for 30 days from April 10,2015. I had asked for it to be dated to use in June, when I return and was told NO!
When do come back, Starlight will not get my money and I’ll make sure to tell my family and friends that live here to NOT patronize this establishment. What a waste and the manager wasn’t apologetic at all! I have sent and email through their website let’s see what happens…
If your looking for a traditional drive– in experience this isn’t it their concessions are nonexistent as well.

This is a great experience for anyone with kids the price is $ 9 per adult and just a $ 1 for kids. You are able to bring a grill and cook your own food, which a family next to our car was doing, they were having their kids birthday party there. They also have concession building, they play current movies. The only thing my wife didn’t like was the area surrounding the drive-​in but after you get in your fine.

I absolutely love going to the Starlight Drive-​in. You can always get a double feature movie for the price of one. It’s easy listening if you’re not there with an octopus-​lol, they have nice big screens and pretty decent restrooms for a public outdoor facility. I have never eaten anything at the drive-​in so I’m not familiar with the food at the concession stand, but when I go to the restroom, there’s always a line. I sometimes stop ahead and grab some things to bring or just pack a picnic basket before leaving the house
(romantic right? Lol).
My only complaint is with people leaving their headlights on, on my last visit the person next to us kept his lights on for about 10 minutes after they arrived. I was sooooo annoyed, and I’m aware that it had absolutely nothing to do with the place itself, Ijs.
All & All Starlight Drive –IN is a great value for your buck!

Alright, I haven’t been to a drive in movie… in years and I must say it was way overdue.
Made a last minute decision to go to drive in & it was no line on a Friday afternoon. Surprisingly, not crowded or must. $ 8.00pp you see 2 movies per screen.
I was shocked to see the screen was clean so, it must be «new» it was perfectly clear picture. I was very impressed because, usually since Drive In’s are so old school or old fashion… their normally old pictures. Not in this case! This is a must visit for you, your boo and/​or make it a family nite.
NOTE: I didn’t give them 5stars because, on the downside was. they need to replace the concert as the gravel is pretty rocky & not smooth.

Everything from my previous review still stands except now they accept both CREDIT CARDS and CASH! Yay convenience! Oh and they upped the price to $ 8.
In case you need a recap, 2 (recent) movies for $ 8, payable via cash or credit card. Get there early to ensure good views since their lines get pretty long around show time. Last time we were there, we saw the most adorable father-​son outing and groups of teenagers around but that’s kind of a tangent.
Remember to turn off your damn headlights though.
