About Starlite Drive-In

Located about 50 miles south of St. Louis on State Highway 21 in Washington County, the Starlite Drive-In has been a twin-screen outdoor cinema staple since it opened in 1952. The two-screen layout gives moviegoers a choice of films every night, and the rural Missouri Ozarks setting makes for a memorable evening under the stars. Starlite draws crowds from the St. Louis metro and the surrounding communities throughout the drive-in season.
