If catching a flick in style is your thing, get ready to plan a night out at Restaurant Hubert. The subterranean CBD restaurant and theatre is bringing back its hit Magnum & Movies series for 2020, transporting Sydneysiders around the globe with film, food and plenty of wine (in magnums, of course).

It'll all take on various nights from February 3–October 26 in Hubert's Theatre Royale, to really ramp up the film-meets-dinner vibe. Each evening will feature plenty of popcorn, a buffet dinner and magnums of wine, which will be passed around throughout the night.

While past events have had an Italian theme, this year's group of films is a little more varied. Kicking the series off is a screening of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds on February 3, followed by a Valentine's Day screening of French romcom Amélie. You'll then travel back Down Under for The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert on February 24, over to Japan for April's Jiro Dreams of Sushi screening and then to Belgium for black comedy In Bruges in May.

You'll also have the chance to drink wine while watching Léon: The Professional, eat dessert during The Grand Budapest Hotel and load up on popcorn for Chocolat. 

Tickets don't come cheap at $145 per head — but that price includes everything (food, wine, film and popcorn) and it's the kind of decadent Monday evening out you don't get to enjoy every day.
