Harking back to the grand old days of cinema going in the 1930s, the Astor Cinema is all about atmosphere. It is alone worth a visit for its art deco architecture, inviting foyers and comfortable chairs. However, it also has the fundamentals of cinema going right, with a huge screen and excellent sound quality. The Astor shows both classic films and recent releases in a double feature format each evening. Look out for special screenings of 70mm classic films—a pleasure to watch.
