A very sad day when the Pitt Centre closed. I happened to be on holidays May 5th 1999, it’s last day. It’s very faded but I still have the ticket stub from the movie Hilary and Jackie that I saw on that last day. I still think about The Pitt Centre and remember some wonderful times there.

The first movie I ever saw here was a double bill of the Marx Brothers – A Day at the Races and A Night at the Opera in July 1976. It was for my birthday. This became my favourite city cinema as it was comfortable, three good-sized screens and a range of movies. Among the movies that screened here (that I recall) were Bugsy Malone, Saturday Night Fever, All Night Long, Ordinary People, Victor / Victoria, The Elephant Man, Black Rain, The Jerk and The Breakfast Club. Great days.

A shame it isn’t there anymore, unfortunately never went to see anything here, but do remember visiting the foyer one day as a child

They showed 70mm films on small screens.

A sad loss indeed! I must’ve worn a rut in the pavement between here and the cinemas just around the corner in George Street as a kid.

Two photographs I took in March 2010, just prior to preparation for demolition:
