This is the coolest new-technology/ law-of-unintended-consequences story I've read in I can't tell ya how long: ad-hoc, mailing-list organized drive-in theaters that use digital projectors and low-power FM transmitters. W00t!
Some folks set up a digital projector outfitted with an FM transmitter and put it inside a car. Every couple of weeks they send out an e-mail to a listserv full of fans with details on the movie that will be showing, the wall it will be projected on, the time and whatnot. You show up, tune to the designated FM station and enjoy a flick, or steam up the windows. The Mobile Movie movement started in Santa Cruz, and is now playing in Berkeley, Oakland, Minneapolis, Dallas, Los Angeles, West Chester, PA., and Tampa City, FL.
