This is the best cinema in Victoria. For one reason: the quality of the movies. Ok, two reasons: also the location!
Nova always features the latest international films and is guaranteed to be right on the cutting edge of art-house screenings.
The cinema itself mightn't be your usual 'Hollywood' glitz and glamour - there's no polystyrene displays or flashing lightbulbs to be seen. It's just your normal, run of the mill theatre - but it is licensed, so you can have some bubbly with your movie too.

After you've watched a fabulous french film, the likes of Amelie or Micmacs, then treat yourself by going downstairs and dining in any number of the awesome restaurants below.

WOW. I love this place. Great comfy chairs. Different movies and I give the range of choc tops top marks. This takes movie going to the next level. I love the location as you can see a great movie and then have a great dinner. This cinema is my absolute favourite.

I love their discount Mondays, although sometimes they cram you into a small theatre. Art house films are another drawcard, although mainstream films are shown here too.

The Nova is a brilliant arthouse cinema, offering a terrific range of movies. The premises are always clean and it always feels like a special night out when I come here to see a movie.

I like this for the intimacy . The Nova was known for playing the movies that others wold n't show, but that's changed and fine by me. it was also close to home

Approximate cost: $20

I love the range of mainstream and alternative movies shown here. There are many cinemas allowing a wide range of films, so you can always find something you like. There are pretty good deals on tickets. Sometimes the ticket lines are pretty long, but only during peak times.

I like this for the intimacy and lack of hype surrounding an enjoyable night out. The Nova was known for playing the movies that others wold n't show, but that's changed and fine by me. I like the extra comfy seats and smaller size theatres. And its on the door steps of several good coffee houses.

With a funky atmosphere and comfy seats this theatre is the ultimate for anyone interested in more independent films. I love their Q & A nights for new Aussie films. Their Choc Tops are out of this world ... Cherry Ripe, Tiramisu, Raspberry Yoghurt and White Chocolate. Mmmm ....

Great cinema, I love that it shows arthouse films that you cant see at other places. Spotlessly clean and comfortable, great location, friendly staff. love the Baily's choc-tops too! And fantastic value if you get the cheap tickets on Monday nights.

My favourite cinema. I've seen so many of my favourite movies here, and a lot of the time I probably wouldn't have been able to see them anywhere else. Good movies, comfy seats in nice, clean cinemas and cheap sessions on Mondays -- I wish I could see all the movies I want to see at Nova.
