Opel Moonlight Cinema 2012/2013 @ Royal Botanic Gardens

We all succumb to the lure of the big screen in summer, and I don't mean that flat screen attached to your living room wall. Summer means outdoor movies in most Australian capital cities, and one of Melbourne's favourite outdoor movie experiences is the Moonlight Cinema in the scenic surrounds of the City Botanic Gardens. And it all kicks off on Thursday 6 December.


The 2012/2013 season features new movies and a new sponsor. Out with Ford Focus and in with Opel. What is it with movies and cars? Doesn't seem like an obvious synergy to me, but no matter. What matters is the movies, the moonlight and the gardens. Now there's synergy.

The season's opening night will feature the Dustin Hoffman directed comedy Quartet starring Billy Connolly and British cinema stalwarts Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon and Tom Courtenay. With more than three months of movies you're bound to find something to tickle your cinematic tastebuds. Romantics might enjoy Woody Allen's To Rome With Love, for action aficionados there's Looper or The Avengers. For the kids there's Madagascar 3 or Hotel Transylvania, and hot new releases will include Hitchcock, The Hobbit and Les Miserables. There'll even be golden oldies like Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Top Gun. See? Something for everyone.


Tickets are available online or at the on-site box office and there's regular pull-up-a-patch of grass seating or Gold Grass (yep - Gold Grass NOT Gold Class) for the movie goer who would like just a little more comfort, and is prepared to pay for it. You could take the girls for a special chick flick with your BFFs or treat your special someone to not just the movie, but bean bed comfort as well. You can take your own picnic or order food and drink from the on-site catering.
