Vintage Classics

Overview

Classic film buffs, clear your calendars: the big screen matinee is back. Starting February 1, Palace Kino on Collins Street are dedicating Sunday afternoons to cinema’s golden oldies, screening quintessential titles from critically-acclaimed filmmakers for a fraction of the regular price.

The series begins, in suitably epic fashion with David Lean’s Dr. Zhivago. Other standouts in February and March include Taxi Driver, Blade Runner and Gone with the Wind, along with the first two parts of The Godfather trilogy and the mesmerising horror film The Shining.

Looking further ahead, genre lovers can get revved up for Mad Max and Mad Max 2, dropping just in time for the reboot in early May. Also on tap: a handful of Hitchcock classics like Rear Window and The Birds, early Bond flicks Dr. No and From Russia with Love, plus several much-loved comedies including The Castle and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
