As chosen by you! We asked our audiences to pick from Best Picture winners from every decade since the Ritzy opened, and we can now reveal the winner is... All About Eve!
It's all about women... and their men! An ingenue insinuates herself into the company of an established but aging stage actress and her circle of theater friends. Bette Davis and Anne Baxter shine in Joseph L. Mankiewicz's razor sharp, devilishly entertaining story of the treachery of showbiz.
In March 1911, the Electric Pavilion — as the Ritzy was known at the time — first opened its doors, bringing the magic of cinema to Brixton. This month, 115 years on, we’re celebrating that extraordinary legacy with a special programme of events marking the Ritzy’s 115th birthday. From screenings that reflect our earliest days to films rooted in Brixton’s cultural history, these events celebrate not just a cinema, but the community, creativity and stories that have shaped it for over a century.
