Ready to feed your appetite at the movies this weekend? Get advance tickets to see Délicieux!

Délicieux is the story of France’s first-ever restaurant!

With the help of a surprising young woman, a chef who has been sacked by his master finds the strength to free himself from his position as a servant and opens the first restaurant.

"It is such a glorious premise for a film, and Besnard manages to make it as tasty a confection as Manceron’s carefully baked and decorated desserts. Comfort films are as much a phenomenon as comfort foods, and Délicieux is a warm, hugely enjoyable confection indeed." - FictionMachine.com

Kristen Stewart is sure to get a Best Actress nomination for her stunning portrayal of Princess Diana in Spencer, continuing this week at the Playhouse.

"An empathetic, intelligent insight into the prison of fame and privilege, with Kristen Stewart offering a lead performance that is brittle, tender, sometimes playful and not a little uncanny." - Screen International

"A visual masterpiece." (Time Out). Stanley Kubrick's PATHS OF GLORY plays Nov 11 & 14. "The scenes of trench warfare are frighteningly vivid, and Kirk Douglas gives a searing performance." - Total Film

Robocop returns to the big screen on Nov 11 & 12, while James Cameron's 1984 sci-fi classic The Terminator plays on Nov 26.

Paul Verhoeven's 1987 satire is a film (like his Starship Troopers & Fatal Attraction) that get better with age. Check it out on the big screen and see why it stands the test of time.

Considered one of the best films of the 1990s, Michael Mann's hugely influential crime drama HEAT boasted the first joint on-screen acting appearance of acting titans Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino. Plays Nov 10 & 13!

David Fincher's hypnotic crime noir, Seven returns to the big screen Nov 17 & 19.

"It's not the identity of the killer that gives Seven its kick -- it's the way Fincher raises mystery to the level of moral provocation." - Rolling Stone

You can see Blade Runner: The Final Cut on Nov 18, or you can see two Blade Runners for the price of one with the Blade Runner Double Bill: The Final Cut + Blade Runner 2049 on Nov 20 (aka Rick Deckard Day)!
