Wonderful idea! My Youngest plans to do this; he's just bought a projector and I guess will use a sheet? His urban neighborhood sports many pedestrians on a nice street so let's hope all goes well. I think he'll start soon, maybe tomorrow.

Think about selection. The most popular genres for drive-in or other outdoor screenings seem to be:

* romance or romantic comedy (for sweet dates)

* horror / thriller / slasher (for clutching-each-other dates)

* family / general audiences / cartoons (for parents and kids)
