At drive-in theaters, the best seats are reserved for punctual elitists and fashionably late monster trucks. Avoid the perils of Hobbesian parking battles by settling into a cozy seat at home with today's deal: for $5, new customers get two movie rentals (up to a $10 value) at Red Door Movies in Palo Alto. This Groupon is only valid for in-store rentals, but you can reserve your movies online.

Red Door Movies stocks a massive selection of indie films, foreign flicks, and hard-to-find treasures from yesterday’s forgotten cinemas. Chuckle the night away with comedy titles such as Arsenic and Old Lace, a 1944 classic starring Cary Grant, or multitask a study in Hitchcock with a quiet, romantic date night at home watching The Birds or The Lady Vanishes. Charm dainty guests with a post-dinner screening of Man Bites Dog, which satirizes media violence with playful images of men sloppily eating hot dogs. If you’re an indecisive renter, simply refer to the list of 1,001 movies you must see before you die and spend the next several years not dying as you watch them all.

Movie rentals at Red Door Movies cost $4 for old releases (a five-day rental) and $5 for new releases (a two- to five-day rental; hot new releases are only good for one night). Expand your cinematic consciousness with twice the unreal imagery, staged scenes, and inspiring messages of a movie rental with today’s Groupon, and remember to apply everything you learn to your life, from hot-wiring cars in 30 seconds (Cars) to surviving multiple gunshot wounds (Die Hard 5: Surviving Multiple Gunshot Wounds).

New customers only.
