The cinema that ruins every other cinema experience for ever more…read more Quite simply the finest, classiest, most demure, seductive, charming and good old-fashioned fun cinema experience in Sydney and quite possibly the universe. Every time you visit a soulless megaplex after your time at Hayden Orpheum it will be a singularly disappointing experience bereft of any aesthetics or cultural value because really, how can anything compare? The cinemas are stunning art deco, they sell old-school choc tops, there's a solid program of the latest blockbusters and art house / doco fare, and they have insanely fun cult classics like a monthly interactive showing of the word movie ever made, The Room. There are love seats in the main cinema, and a freaking organ that rises up out of the floor for matinee performances. I know right! What what all the way. Best.

Being an eastern suburbs dweller, I've only been to the Orpheum on a couple of occassions. Each…read moretime I've sworn to journey over there more often (it's not even that far FFS). The Orpheum has kept it's gorgeous original deco interiors and exteriors intact, and the last time I visited (John Cleese triple bill including the Life Of Brian on Easter Sunday- kudos Orpheum!), there was a vintage pianist playing the grand piano in the lobby. I would love to see a silent movie thing here and I would bet money that they do them, it's that kind of place. Check out retro cinema Sundays- awesome and affordable triple bills that people dress up for. Old school wholesome entertainment, I love it.

Roseville Cinemas are a quaint, traditional movie centre, which caters to the target market of 50+…read moredemographics. Situated on the Pacific Highway in Roseville, the cinema centre advertises a range of quality films. Never see a bad film at this cinema! Despite marketing to an older demographic, there is almost always a film for the young adult genre. Enjoy the ambiance of a bygone era, with 1930's decor. Choc tops, sorbet and popcorn populate the menu. Don't sit in the aisle seat; it's a little chilly with the air conditioning. Wheel chair access is available, with an electronic seat to transport disabled or elderly patrons up the flight of stairs. If you fancy a bite to eat, there are plenty of restaurants located nearby. Some businesses even have discounts if you show your movie ticket. Enjoy a movie in this fabulous ye old setting!

Visiting Roseville Cinemas, you're definitely going to be mixing with the blue rinse set. But…read moreyou're also going to be able to see some precious arthouse films. For anyone on the upper north shore, this makes the cinema worth its weight in antique filigree gold. Without having to travel further down the line to the Hayden Orpheum or (shock horror) across the bridge to Palace Verona, Roseville Cinemas consistently offers up all the arthouse hits. There are only two screens, but they make them work. And they handmake the choctops! It really doesn't get better than that.

Of all of the cinemas I have attended in Australia, this one seems the most dated and tired. There…read moreis just nothing plush about it that warrants the pricing of both tickets and concession stand. The ladies room is always a bit unappealing with trash on the floor, oddly situated soap dispensers and a shortage of dryers. The staff seems rather apathetic. I would much rather see a movie elsewhere.

"The Cinema That Time Forgot", now showing at Hoyts Mandarin Centre…read more Oh sure, it's often empty and oddly soulless and gets given no love from the Hoyts people and it's just plain weird that there's another Hoyts in Westfield literally one minute walk away, but I like this old girl. When I get in one of my can't-deal-with-crowds strops, this is where I head to catch a flick in the peace and quiet of a cinema with only a handful of people in it. Never change, Hoyts Mandarin.

The food is pretty good now, wasn't great when they first opened but has changed dramatically so worth a go if you went a couple of years ago and didn't enjoy the food. If you're more cost-driven, the ticket price includes free soft drink and pop-corn, which works a out at similar value to a regular ticket. Try the in seat app/QR code scanner for ordering wine during the movie- works great!

The theatres are awesome, there's plenty of movie times, it's clean and the best part, it's situated in a massive shopping mall. Once again, no one cares if you bring in food from outside (I may or may not have snuck in Maccas before) and the food court and Coles is so conveniently located on the level below. A movie night out must always include a trip to Coles to load up on junk food! Tip: Park on the rooftop/Coles side for easier access. As per all Westfields, free parking after 6pm. Hooray for movie nights!

Warning RAT infestation !!! Do not go to HOYTS cinema at…read morewestfield Warringah Mall if you value your health and want to be treated with decency by the manager when you report RATS running in the cinema !!! Cinema 5 ( if not others - I see someone on Google reviews has recently reported RATS in cinema 6 too ) is a serious health hazard clearly infested with rats . My family abruptly vacated mid movie yesterday evening after seeing 2 rats under the seats. Worse still the staff , and the manager on last night , were well aware of the rats. Said there were rat traps in the cinema but it was hard to eradicate the rats . Said there had been a rat sighting/ complaint a month ago . (see Google reviews, I'm not the only one to have seen RATS in the Warringah mall HOYTS cinemas . someone else reported rats in cinema 6 . ) last night the manager on duty refused to alert the remaining movie goers in cinema 5 , leaving them unawares they were sitting with rats around them . He also refused to give me his name , although he had all MY details. HOYTS management need to disclose they have a vermin problem, close down any affected cinemas and exterminate the rat infestation until such time as it's sanitary & safe for the public to sit in their theatre/s .
