A
Sun Theatre
‘Boutique’ art deco gloriousness with the individual theatres named after old cinemas from around the western suburbs: Trocadero, Lyric, La Scala. Best choc-top ice-cream range in town, with lolly bags and alcohol (allowed in the cinemas) to boot. Great for a first date.

Palace Como
Glamorous cinema that hosts film festivals and has fab Fridays (half-price cocktails and tapas).
Outdoor cinemas are very popular in the summer; check the websites for seasonal opening dates and program details. Movies are often old-time faves, but new releases also get a showing. Tickets range from $15 to $20 and can sell out quickly.
