Every city has a cinema , but it's the 75-year-old, two-tiered art deco edifices that are getting thin on the ground . Make sure you see something projected on the Astor’s gigantic screen. Read more

If you love classic film , this is a haven. Definitely the best theatre in Melbourne (actually it's one of the reasons I moved here). Prices are good considering they're almost all double features .

Ann Byrne

The popcorn is delicious, you can get a glass of wine to take in, the seats are old but comfy , the screen is huge, and Marzipan the famous theatre cat (now age 21) loves a pat!

Awesome vintage cinema ideally suited to catching movies that have stopped running at Village / Hoyts or just an old classic. Wicked Wednesday's get you a double movie pass for $10.

Tim Maccheroni

Lovely old art deco cinema with an authentic feeling. Come see classic film here and enjoy a drink from the bar .

Johnny James

One of the best movie theatres in the Melbourne area. The choc-tops are a must. You get good luck if you see the cat.

Fantastic old fashioned cinema , showing new and classic movies in 35mm, 70mm, 2k and 4k. Fine films and atmosphere.

Andrew Wilkins

One of Melbourne's treasures. The only place to see a classic film as it was intended to be seen.

David Meakins

One of the last great old theatres. Best seat upstairs seems to be the very front row middle.

"There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life"Fellini was talking about this Theatre for sure

Sam

Beautiful 1930s theatre - get there 45 mins early so you can sit upstairs

Adam F

Known for reviving classic films , this is the juncture of fine 1930s Art Deco architecture and the silver screen.

Thomas Suttie

Buy a block of tickets. Go as often as you can, and make it your regular movie spot.

Libby

Say hello to Marzipan , the Astor's resident cat, then go get your choctop from the very reasonably priced candy bar .

Bianca

Try the cake slices at the kiosk. They're ginormous & very good!
