When you can see new releases (ahem..!) at home on your LCD screen all weekend, it takes more than a movie to get you off your couch. You need atmosphere, a great crowd, an awesome experience. These are the places we think have these qualities in spades.

Rooftop Cinema, Melbourne

Melbourne’s Rooftop Cinema transforms the city skyline into a twinkling backdrop for the hippest movie-night in town. Nestle in a deck chair, wrap up in a blanket and settle down to enjoy some of cinemas best-loved eighties classics and cult favorites.

Skyline Drive-In, Sydney

You’ll be groovin’ all week after a night at this "Happy Days" style drive-in cinema in Blacktown. Cruise your convertible into position, pop back the seats and settle into a blockbuster, before digging into a chilli-dog and a malt shake at the retro-styled diner next door.

New Globe Theatre, Brisbane

Bursting back onto the scene in late 2013 after a three year hiatus, Brisbane’s much-loved Globe is host to a constant whirl of live music, cinema, dance parties and arts performances. Head to Fortitude Valley for cult classics such as Eraserhead, Zoolander and The Princess Bride.

Deckchair Cinema, Darwin

Is there a better spot in Australia for outdoor cinema? Plonk yourself into a deckchair on Darwin’s waterfront, enjoy a cool drink and settle into a movie – and enjoy a tradition that started back in 1929.

Titan Extreme, Perth

The Reading Cinema in Belmont is home to Titan XC, a revolution in movie viewing, with state-of-the-art Dolby Digital projection, plus the latest in cinema audio. What does this mean for the movie-goer? Kick-ass graphics and sound, of course. The best place to see a popcorn blockbuster in town.

The Mercury, Adelaide

Straight up one of the best places to see independent cinema in the country. The Mercury boasts a program that features documentaries and film festival delights, plus the cinema hosts Adelaide Cinematheque, the place to find obscure gems and cult classics from around the world.

State Theatre, Hobart

Last year this Tasmanian gem celebrated its 100th birthday, and while the movies have changed somewhat, this much loved icon is still doing what it’s done for generations – entertaining and delighting movie-goers with great stories.

Whether you want to catch the newest releases or a cinematic gem, head to your favourite cinema. With more than 1500 around the country to choose from – Yellow Pages can help you find your way.
