Everyone loves a night out at the cinema . There's something about sinking down into plush seats, sliding the chocolate off a chop top with your teeth and looking up at a huge screen expectantly awaiting the night's film. But as we all know, a cinema date can cost an arm and a leg and if you take the whole family, it will cost you a torso as well.

Which is why it is good to know when cinemas have their extra cheap nights. But it can be hard to store all that data in your head. So here on one dedicated page are the cheap nights out at Melbourne's cinemas and if you know of any others we would love to hear from you in the comments section. That way we can share the information around.

Mad Mondays

Sun Theatre
8 Ballarat Street, Yarraville

This lovely old cinema has $10 tickets on both Mondays and Tuesdays and if you still haven't made the trek across the Westgate bridge to visit this gorgeous art deco cinema, then it is well worth crossing over

Village Coburg (Drive-in)
155 Newlands Road, Coburg

Entry is free for children under 12. Mad Monday's allows you to catch a movie at half the price ($8 for an adult; $20 per carload). You can grab a bite to eat in the retro style diner or order via SMS and have snacks delivered to your car.

Wicked Wednesdays **

Astor Theatre
Corner Dandenong Road and Chapel Street, St Kilda

Wicked Wednesdays tickets $10

This huge cinema is a reminder of the heyday of cinema greatness when movie going on a Saturday night was something everybody did.

This cinema is huge and has a seating capacity of 1,110 which includes balconies.

The cinema often shows doubles which makes it exceptionally good value. And if you don't have one of the Astor Cinema's famous calendars on the back of your toilet door then it means you just aren't cultured. You can order one on their website.
Every Night

Memberships

If you attend a particular cinema regularly then it is worth seeing if they have membership deals. For example Cinema Nova in Carlton has a membership for $12 a year. It means $11 entry for you and a guest to opening day sessions (Thursdays) of every new film.

Palace Cinemas has a movie club which costs $ 19 dollars a year to join. This means all your tickets come down to $13.50 and you get a free ticket when you join or renew plus one complimentary ticket every year for your birthday. They also do a couple of good family offers at Palace Balwyn, Dendy Brighton and Westgarth which include 2 Adults and 2 Children OR 1 Adult and 3 Children for $50/ 2 Adults and 3 Children OR 1 Adult and 4 Children for $55/ 2 Adults and 4 Children OR 1 Adult and 5 Children for $60*
