Every old film screening in Sydney, on one page.
Half a dozen cinema websites, each with its own calendar, each burying the classics under whatever opened on Thursday. They are read fresh every night and collected here, so you check one page instead of six.

The cinemas
Reading the current listings…
Dendy and Palace only publish a week or two ahead, which is why their rows look thin — not because they have stopped programming.

Film details, posters, directors, runtimes and release years come from TMDB; posters remain the property of their respective rights holders. Session times are read from each cinema’s own website and belong to them. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any cinema listed, and every booking link goes to the cinema’s own page.
Listings are collected automatically and will sometimes be wrong, stale or incomplete — a session can be moved or sold out minutes after it is read. Check with the cinema before you travel or book. Everything here is provided as is, with no warranty of any kind, and no responsibility is accepted for any loss, cost or disappointment arising from using it.
