Cinema Booking

Browse movies and book tickets at Classic Cinemas Elsternwick with live pricing and email delivery.

Cinema: Classic Cinemas Elsternwick (Melbourne, Australia) Website: https://www.classiccinemas.com.au

Output Format

Use --format markdown for all CLI commands to get pre-formatted output ready for display. This reduces token usage by eliminating the need to parse JSON and format it manually.

bun run src/cli.ts movies --format markdown

JSON output (default) is still available for machine parsing if needed.
