"Perfect" (1985)

Jamie Lee Curtis transitions from scream queen to sex symbol in 1985's Perfect, a goofy aerobics movie. Laraine Newman outshines John Travolta. Jann Wenner disgraces his own magazine for screen time.

Perfect plays at the Can-View Drive-In in June 1985, alongside Rambo, Richard Pryor, and Chevy Chase

The Hitcher (1986)

Siskel and Ebert hate The Hitcher so much, they imagine things that aren't actually in the movie.

The Hitcher is a popular second feature at the Can-View Drive-In, playing in both May and September of 1986

Hot To Trot (1988)

John Candy voices the homophobic, sexed-up horse in Hot to Trot alongside Bobcat Goldthwait.

Filled with all the sexual innuendo and foul language you'd expect to find a 1980's PG rated movie.

Hot to Trot plays at the Can-View Drive-In with the Bobcat Goldthwait-less Police Academy 5 in August 1988

Amityville 3D (1983)

In the early 80s, not only was Part 3 of any horror series required to be filmed in 3D, but the 3D glasses were part of a scam to pressure audience members to patronize the snack bar.

The cast of Amityville 3D includes Woody Allen's buddy from Annie Hall, Uncle Jesse's girlfriend from Full House, and a teenage pre-plastic surgery Meg Ryan.

The Money Pit (1986)

Before Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, Catch Me If You Can, The Terminal, and Bridge of Spies, Tom Hanks made his first collaboration with Steven Spielberg in 1986's The Money Pit. The film comes from that strange era before Hanks was everyone's most beloved movie star, and Siskel and Ebert thought he was a real bum.

The Money Pit comes to the Can-View Drive-In in April of 1986

The Money Pit returns to the Can-View to play as the supporting feature for Howard the Duck in August of 1986

Child's Play 2 (1990)

A surprisingly appalled review by Roger Ebert prompts Red Coat Black Coat to take a look at this Child's Play sequel for the first time.
