A great movie theater is achieved two ways： by beauty and technical presentation， or by being "a movie theater by movie fans for movie fans". Here are the coolest movie theaters in the world.

一家影劇院做到卓爾不群有兩種方式：一種是通過(guò)美麗的外觀和技術(shù)的呈現(xiàn)，另一種是成為“由影迷創(chuàng)建且為影迷而建的電影院”。下面就是世界上最酷的幾家影劇院。

1. Le Grand Rex （Paris， France）

If you like your movies on a grand scale， the name of this theater—the largest in Europe—says it all. When film producer Jacques Hak commissioned its construction in 1931， he had a single goal in mind： to make The Rex one of the world's most beautiful theaters. He succeeded. With seating for 2，800 and a design scheme meant to mimic the great outdoors， Le Grand Rex's vast space is perfectly matched to the big-budget movies it shows.

Why It Stands Out： Le Grand Rex is the kind of theater that only Hollywood could dream up； its Art Deco1） fa?ade2） beckons3） with hypnotizing4） neon signs， which lead patrons5） into a fairytale-like interior space. Which means there's plenty to look at here， even if the movie stinks.

1.大雷克斯劇院（法國(guó)巴黎）

如果你喜歡在規(guī)模宏大的影劇院觀看電影，這座影劇院——?dú)W洲最大的影劇院——的名字就說(shuō)明了一切。當(dāng)電影制片人雅克·阿伊克在1931年出資興建這家劇院時(shí)，他心里只有一個(gè)目標(biāo)：讓大雷克斯劇院成為世界上最美的劇院之一。他做到了。大雷克斯劇院擁有2800個(gè)座位和旨在模擬室外美景的設(shè)計(jì)方案，其巨大的空間與在這里上映的巨額預(yù)算電影相得益彰。

緣何卓爾不群：這是那種只有好萊塢電影才能虛構(gòu)出來(lái)的劇院；劇院飾有霓虹招牌的裝飾派藝術(shù)風(fēng)格的外觀讓人著迷，吸引著顧客進(jìn)入劇院仙境一般的內(nèi)部空間。這意味著即使電影很糟糕， 劇院里也還有很多東西值得一看。

2. Raj Mandir Cinema （Jaipur， India）

Nicknamed "the Pride of Asia"， few movie theaters in the world can boast as dedicated and loyal an audience as the regularly swelling crowds that turn up to this world-famous Hindi movie theater. Now in its 40th year， this pink movie palace seats more than 1，200 people and still sells out on a regular basis.

Why It Stands Out： Like something out of a Bollywood movie， "dreamlike" is the only way to describe a night at the Raj Mandir， where the lighting schemes change with the time of day and soft floral6） scents are pumped in through the air ducts7）.

2. 王宮戲院（印度齋浦爾）

王宮戲院的綽號(hào)是“亞洲的驕傲”，世界上沒(méi)有幾家電影院能像這家世界知名的印地語(yǔ)電影院一樣，擁有如此熱誠(chéng)和忠實(shí)的觀眾定期涌入觀影。這座粉色的電影王宮如今已建成40年，能容納超過(guò)1200人，仍常常座無(wú)虛席。

緣何卓爾不群：就像是發(fā)生在寶萊塢電影中一樣，在王宮戲院度過(guò)一晚只能用“如夢(mèng)似幻”來(lái)形容，那里的照明系統(tǒng)會(huì)在一天內(nèi)隨著時(shí)間而變化，通風(fēng)管還會(huì)送來(lái)柔和的花香。

3. Cine Thisio （Athens， Greece）

At the foot of the Acropolis—with Instagram-worthy views of the Parthenon—this outdoor， summer-only theater gives moviegoers8） the chance to catch a first-run9） flick10） and see some of Athens' most popular tourist hotspots.

Why It Stands Out： With views like this， who cares whether you're being forced to sit through the newest Transformers film？

3. 提西奧電影院（希臘雅典）

這座只在夏天營(yíng)業(yè)的戶外影院位于雅典衛(wèi)城腳下，可將萬(wàn)神廟那值得放上Instagram的美景盡收眼底。它讓影迷們不僅有機(jī)會(huì)觀看首輪放映的大片，還有機(jī)會(huì)欣賞雅典最受歡迎的幾處熱門旅游景點(diǎn)。

緣何卓爾不群：有這樣的美景，誰(shuí)還會(huì)在意自己是不是必須得看完一整部最新的《變形金剛》呢？

4. Avoca Beach Picture Theatre

（Avoca Beach， Australia）

There's no reason to choose between the beach or theater at this cinema， which opened just a couple hundred feet from the Pacific Ocean near Sydney in 1951. Reminiscent11） of an old-school surf shack12）， the cinema's laid-back13） vibe14） extends beyond aesthetics； an outdoor terrace15） lends itself to16） leisurely drink before the movie， and an anything-goes17） lineup of movies could see a recent Oscar winner sharing screen time with a classic Shirley Temple film.

Why It Stands Out： It takes a special kind of cinema to lure moviegoers away from the beach， and the Avoca Beach Picture Theatre has been doing it repeatedly for more than 60 years.

5. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema

（Texas， United States）

There are more than 20 Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas across the U.S. at this point， but it's the original lot18）， first founded in Austin in 1997， that have set the tone for the outposts19） that have followed. And by "tone" we mean a place for serious movie lovers only. The kind of cinephiles20） who are as excited by first-run superhero movies as they are a little-seen documentary.

Why It Stands Out： The Alamo doesn't play when it comes to disruptive patrons. Remember the theater owner that kicked out a girl for texting a few years back？ That was The Alamo. Or the theater that created a fun series of anti-texting PSAs21）？ That was The Alamo， too. And in 2013， founder Tim League took to Twitter to announce that he was banning Madonna from all Alamo theaters until she apologized for texting during a New York Film Festival screening22） of 12 Years a Slave.

4. 阿沃卡海灘電影院

（澳大利亞阿沃卡海灘）

在阿沃卡海灘電影院，你沒(méi)有必要在觀影和沙灘游玩之間做選擇。這家電影院1951年開始營(yíng)業(yè)，離悉尼不遠(yuǎn)，距太平洋僅幾百英尺。它讓人想起舊式的沖浪小屋，那慵懶的氣息已不是美學(xué)所能解釋的。它有一座室外平臺(tái)，適合在觀影前悠閑地喝上一杯；它還有一份沒(méi)有任何限制的電影放映單，上面既有最近的奧斯卡獲獎(jiǎng)影片，也有秀蘭·鄧波兒的經(jīng)典電影。

緣何卓爾不群：非同一般的電影院才能吸引電影愛(ài)好者離開海灘，而阿沃卡海灘電影院在過(guò)去60多年的時(shí)間里一直在周而復(fù)始地這樣做。

5. 阿拉莫草圖屋電影院

（美國(guó)得克薩斯州）

目前美國(guó)已經(jīng)有20多家阿拉莫草圖屋電影院，但正是1997年在奧斯汀最初建立的這批，為此后陸續(xù)開設(shè)的其他影院奠定了基調(diào)。這里用“基調(diào)”一詞，我們是想說(shuō)這是一個(gè)專為真正電影愛(ài)好者創(chuàng)建的地方，他們會(huì)為首映的超級(jí)英雄電影和少有人看的紀(jì)錄片感到同樣興奮。

緣何卓爾不群：阿拉莫對(duì)那些搗亂的顧客可從不手軟。還記得幾年前有家影院的主人把一個(gè)發(fā)短信的女孩趕出來(lái)了嗎？那家影院就是阿拉莫?；蛘哌€記得有家影院曾經(jīng)制作過(guò)一系列有趣的公益廣告反對(duì)觀影時(shí)發(fā)短信嗎？那也是阿拉莫。2013年，影院創(chuàng)始人蒂姆·利格在推特上宣布他禁止麥當(dāng)娜進(jìn)入所有的阿拉莫影院，除非她愿意為自己在紐約電影節(jié)上放映《為奴12年》時(shí)發(fā)短信的行為道歉。

6. Secret Cinema （Worldwide）

The first rule of Secret Cinema is that you do not talk about Secret Cinema， at least not its whereabouts. It is an easy enough rule to follow considering it's not an actual venue， but rather a series of screenings at secret locations around the world. Past engagements have included screenings of Lawrence of Arabia at London's Alexandra Palace and The Grand Budapest Hotel at the landmark Farmiloe Building in Clerkenwell23）.

Why It Stands Out： This is the only movie experience that requires you to register your name and location on their Website to be added to the invite list.

6. 神秘電影院（世界各地）

神秘電影院的第一條規(guī)矩就是你不能談?wù)撋衩仉娪霸?，起碼不能談?wù)撍乃谥??？紤]到它其實(shí)不是一個(gè)真正的場(chǎng)所而是在世界各處的秘密地點(diǎn)放映一系列影片，這條規(guī)矩并不難遵守。影院過(guò)去的活動(dòng)包括在倫敦的亞歷山大宮放映《阿拉伯的勞倫斯》，以及在克拉肯韋爾的地標(biāo)建筑法米羅大樓放映《布達(dá)佩斯大飯店》。

緣何卓爾不群：這是唯一一家需要你在它的網(wǎng)站上注冊(cè)姓名和地址才能被添加到邀請(qǐng)名單上的影院。
