It’s up to the public to decide what movie will be shown at the Oct. 5 season finale of the Santa Monica Drive-in at the Pier.
Ballots can be cast by going to www.smff.com. More than a thousand people have already cast their Internet ballot, and Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the King, Grease and Endless Summer are currently in the lead.
