I love those old drive in intermission ads - I actually have a DVD full of them, I sometimes put in on between watching movies. Just to kind of get that old-tyme drive-in movie experience. It sucks that your password got stolen, but Youtube still has plenty of those intermission ads and jingles. I'm glad there are people in the world who enjoy reliving those mid-century experiences!

If you use Plex or Jellyfin as a home media server, it allows movie preview trailers and other preroll media IIRC. You could completely recreate the theater experience. Throw in some old retro Disney or other shorts before a flick.
