Originally built in 1930, The Royal Theatre (608 College St) has become a Toronto icon and brings back a piece of old world glam to movie watching. Their foundation may be old but their selection of movies is anything but, featuring documentaries like GMO OMG and crowd pleasers like The Grand Budapest Hotel.
2. Drive-in theatre at the Polson Pier
