If you happen to drop by Johor Bahru (Johor Baru, Johore Bahru, Johor Baharu), why not take some time to catch the movies? Damage to your pockets: RM$8-12 (SGD $3.50-$5.00).

 2. Golden Screen Cinema - Pelangi Leisure Mall, Johor Bahru

Comments: You get the cheapest deal at Leisure mall. Movies cost RM$9.00 and parking is free and aplenty. The crowd is considerably less compared to Tanjung Golden Village (Tebrau City) and Cathay Cineplex (City Square).

3. Tanjong Golden Village - Aeon Tebrau City, Johor Bahru

Location:
AEON Tebrau City Shopping Centre
No 1, Jalan Desa Tebrau
Taman Desa Tebrau
81100 Johor Bahru
Johor

Website: http://www.tgv.com.my

Comments: SLOW queue clearance and it takes you about 45min to 1 hour just to buy your tickets on weekends. Movie cost about RM$10.00 and parking at Tebrau City is cheap at RM$1.00/entry.

The main drawback is the stronger censorship (Malaysia is still a conservation country) compared to Singapore so expect more nudity/violence/and strong language scenes to be cut.

To dispel any myths, you will not see cockroaches and mouse running under your seats nor will you find weird people at the back of the cinema recording the film for pirated DVD productions. The cleanliness and quality of the visual and audio sound system is to a decent standard.

So join the queue for movie tickets and grab a popcorn set at RM$8/set (with drinks) as well. Sit back and enjoy your movie!
