Going to a drive-in movie is like being catapulted back in time. There’s something about noshing on a bag of popcorn in the car or snacking on nachos from the back of a pickup truck that really drives home the feeling of a small-town Saturday night. The Stardust Drive-In Theatre in Watertown, Tennessee, has long been a local favorite and was just listed as one of the top drive-in theaters in the nation by Mental Floss. Learn all about it below!

What can we say? Popcorn is popular! Outside food is not allowed on the premises, so make sure you bring an empty belly that's ready for cheesy nachos, slices of pizza, juicy cheeseburgers, and yes, an all-American hot dog.

New movies start on Friday, and bookings open up on Mondays and Tuesdays. Please note that the Stardust schedule is online, and we'd highly recommend making a reservation beforehand to avoid lines. Plus, drive-ins have experienced a bit of a renaissance and you don't want tickets to sell-out before you can snag one.
