5. Former Queen’s Theatre
Opened in the early-1930s, Queen’s Theatre on Guillemard Road was a hot favourite with Singaporeans for its Malay, Indonesian and even Egyptian movies. Back in the day, tickets cost $2 for circle seats, $1.50 for the back stall and $1 for the front stall. (They probably even let you bring outside food in.)
The cinema eventually closed in 1982. Today, the building is occupied by Grandlink Square, but the facade of the old theatre is visible from Lorong 44.
