Amazing cinema, just a shame they don't always show the big blockbuster films. But it's still a great place to watch a film.

Palace Cinemas are a really good generally and it's no exception here at Brighton Bay. These are…read morevery clean, up-market and well-designed cinemas that suit the Brighton (wealthier) folk as well as the younger types from around the area. These have to be one of my favourite cinemas where I'm a member and it's worth it if you're a regular. It's pretty expensive to see films but with a discount and member benefits it just means it's not as hard on the pocket as usual. It also means that your movie going experience is a little nicer. I'm very found of the bar and being able to take a beer or wine into the nicely set out and roomy cinemas where I love the fact they play some of the "Arty" films as well as the usual Hollywood blockbusters. Brighton Bay Cinemas are probably my favourite along with the Classic in Elsternwick.

Brighton Bay Cinemas are so very Brighton in every which way. To clarify for those who aren't…read morefamiliar with all that this Bayside suburb representes: the settings are lush and expensive and the crowd are equally so. In this part of town you'd expect nothing less than a bit of luxury. A feature light bulb chandelier welcomes you to the foyer of cinemas where velvet lounges reign supreme. The bar is well stocked and there are a number of gourmet snacks on offer. Brighton Bay recently hosted the Lavazza Italian Film Festival, and a great night was had by all.

I'm very particular when it comes to watching a film. For a while I wasn't going to cinemas due to…read morethe fact my screen at home was big enough, I didn't stick to the seat and people weren't yelling during it. The Classic Cinema in Elsternwick has the touch of class that is needed when going out to watch a film. They always have a healthy array of the Hollywood films but there is a place for the lesser known titles and foreign films where it is always refreshing to see that they support those films. It might sound wanky but it's important that you feel like it's still an occasion to go to the cinemas. It's very clean, you can get a beer or champagne and some perfectly salted popcorn to take in and the people working give you the certain respect you hope for. Now it's not just in Gold Class where you can get good service with a smile. Then in the actual cinema the seats are large where again it's clean and because a standard is set, people aren't inclined to be rude and you can enjoy your movie. I'm very big on the movie-going culture and I believe that it has changed to more of a teen thing but be sure, The Classic Cinema's are suited more for the types that still want to go to the movies as a special occasion (especially seeing as ticket prices have risen). I definitely think it's worth getting up off the couch to go and see a really good film there. I'm very happy it's my local cinema.

The Classic is a not-particulary-arty independent cinema. They're cheap, comfortable and they seem…read moreto do okay by running slightly older new releases. The building's a little classy, which always makes things a little nicer. I guess this is where prints go when the major cinemas are a bit tired of them.

The Palace Westgarth was originally built in the 1920s and following later Art Deco additions and a…read morerecent $4 million overhaul this historically significant cinema now plays host to a decidedly eclectic selection of films catering to everyone from film nuts to novices. Boasting a licensed bar offering coffee, food and some pretty damn good ice cream, The Palace Westgarth is notable for its all inclusive and highly eclectic film programme which runs the gauntlet from Hollywood blockbusters to European film festivals and countless indie flicks in between. This particular outpost of the boutique Palace chain also has special events such as its Friday night 'Cult Vault' screenings showcasing classic and cult cinema. A must visit for its three state of the art screens, diverse film programme and culturally significant location.

The Palace Westgarth Cinemas are in many ways the hub of the Westgarth community. Situated in the…read morecentre of the township with it's highly recognizable heritage building - people from all over Melbourne know this place. Unfortunately I have to say that the Palace Westgarth does not always show movies to warrant people from all over Melbourne knowing it's presence. Don't get me wrong the Palace Westgarth does show many great movies and has a number of great film festivals throughout the year - including the Spanish and French ones of most note. It has the Friday night film vault where they show old school movies usually of the horror or other cult genres at the stoke of midnight. However, most of the time I personally feel that they don't show a great selection of films. They don't show many blockbusters, which is fine, but they also don't show that many independent films either. In fact it seems to me that a large component of their catalogue includes kids movies, second rate British romantic comedies and cheap Hollywood films. All this means is that I find I never end up going all that often to a cinema which I desperately want to support.
