Here’s our favourite cinemas around Perth to stuff ourselves with buttery popcorn and catch the best new movies.

Luna Palance Cinemas & Luna on SX

The most prominent of Perth’s independent cinemas, Luna Leederville classily mixes an impressive lineup of arthouse, classic and contemporary films to cater to even the biggest cinephile. Meanwhile Luna on SX has its own thing going on, tucked away down a laneway, just across from Freo’s fave new small bar, Patio. Don’t miss out Luna Leederville’s awesome Monday Doubles, with two screenings and tickets going for just $15 per person – an absolute steal!

Palace Cinema

A relatively new addition to the city, Palace Cinema takes up the top of Perth’s glittering Raine Square. Growing in popularity due to its platinum cinema experience, movie-goers can relax in first-class elegance and enjoy call-service from their seat as well as full meals and cocktails. Catching a movie has never been so glamourous.

Windsor Cinema

Opening its doors in 1937, Windsor Cinema is one of the oldest on this list and the first Perth cinema to screen sub-titled films! Part of the Luna family, it has survived fires, takeovers and countless re-modelings but stands strong today as an art house favourite among locals and visitors. Now fully licensed and boasting a new foyer, you can team up your Windsor ticket with some savings at next door’s delightful Maharaja Indian restaurant.
