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.

一家影剧院做到卓尔不群有两种方式：一种是通过美丽的外观和技术的呈现，另一种是成为“由影迷创建且为影迷而建的电影院”。下面就是世界上最酷的几家影剧院。

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.大雷克斯剧院（法国巴黎）

如果你喜欢在规模宏大的影剧院观看电影，这座影剧院——欧洲最大的影剧院——的名字就说明了一切。当电影制片人雅克·阿伊克在1931年出资兴建这家剧院时，他心里只有一个目标：让大雷克斯剧院成为世界上最美的剧院之一。他做到了。大雷克斯剧院拥有2800个座位和旨在模拟室外美景的设计方案，其巨大的空间与在这里上映的巨额预算电影相得益彰。

缘何卓尔不群：这是那种只有好莱坞电影才能虚构出来的剧院；剧院饰有霓虹招牌的装饰派艺术风格的外观让人着迷，吸引着顾客进入剧院仙境一般的内部空间。这意味着即使电影很糟糕， 剧院里也还有很多东西值得一看。

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. 王宫戏院（印度斋浦尔）

王宫戏院的绰号是“亚洲的骄傲”，世界上没有几家电影院能像这家世界知名的印地语电影院一样，拥有如此热诚和忠实的观众定期涌入观影。这座粉色的电影王宫如今已建成40年，能容纳超过1200人，仍常常座无虚席。

缘何卓尔不群：就像是发生在宝莱坞电影中一样，在王宫戏院度过一晚只能用“如梦似幻”来形容，那里的照明系统会在一天内随着时间而变化，通风管还会送来柔和的花香。

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. 提西奥电影院（希腊雅典）

这座只在夏天营业的户外影院位于雅典卫城脚下，可将万神庙那值得放上Instagram的美景尽收眼底。……
