A Movie Night at The Ritz

Overview

One of the last Art Deco theatres in town, The Ritz has given Sydney locals eight decades of cinematic education. From its early days at the forefront of modern cinema, to its current status as peddler of box office hits and quirky indie flicks alike, it's impossible to say when The Ritz had its heyday. If you were to ask anyone around town, they'd tell you it's still having it. Take a detour from your normal Sunday, and go see a film at this heritage-listed building from 1937 — the iconic facade, which has been carefully added to over the intervening years, is a stunning example of the Art Deco architectural style from the 1920s and '30s.
