Once the quintessential spot for young love in the United States, the drive-in movie theater has by and large gone the way of the record player -- a vestige of retro nostalgia. But despite the popularity of at-home streaming sessions, some film-goers say the romance is far from dead: at one rural spot in Virginia, movie-goers looking for a trip down memory lane can get their fill of popcorn while enjoying a double feature under the stars. Here's where the romance can be found.

For over 60 years, families in Virginia have loaded up their car for a night at what is now the region's last drive-in movie theater. Born in the 1930s, drive-ins became popular in the 50s and 60s and many customers enjoy that trip down memory lane.

LINDA TAYLORE MOVIE PATRON "Growing up that was date night when we were going to the drive-ins to see movies."

MASON MOVIE PATRON "It's different from a normal movie theater where you just go and sit down. Here you get to socialize. Just a different environment here."

Here, two films cost 8 dollars, and kids go half price. The fee hasn't changed in 10 years.

DEBBIE WILLIAMS MOVIE PATRON "This is very financially beneficial for us as a family and plus it's different, it's being outdoors, it's the fresh air, looking at the stars and not being in a crowded place."

But these theatres, which have come to be known as a symbol of the "American way of Life", are perhaps past their prime. The 4000 outdoor cinemas of the 1960s have been reduced to a mere 300 today. Up against the comfort and convenience of big movie theatres, owners are forced to evolve.

JIM KOPP OWNER OF FAMILY DRIVE-IN "We have FM stereo sound, and FM stereo sound brings 5.1 stereo surround and this is the preferred way to listen to the movies now."

In recent years, drive-in theatres have made their way from the countryside into larger urban areas. Once a month in Washington, this outdoor cinema draws viewers yearning for the days of yesteryear.

JOSEPHINE CRITTENDEN MOVIE PATRON "It's only things I've seen in movies like Grease."

"It kind of makes me feel like it's the old days, especially from this car since it's from 1968. It seems like a pretty special occasion."

Challenges like weather make it difficult to compete with traditional cinemas, but for many, these outdoor theatres are all about the charm.
