[2020·青岛市高三年级统一质量检测] Movie theaters around the world have closed recently. Fortunately, there's never been a better time to catch up on classic movies. Below, read our picks for best movies.
“Thelma & Louise”(1991)
“Thelma & Louise” is a tale of female friendship, and the screen is dominated by the film's two female leads. The pals from a small town in Arkansas hit the road on a weekend quest in search of fun and freedom from their jobs and their boredom.
Filmed in California and Utah, with the best Grand Canyon scenes filmed south of Dead Horse Point State Park, “ Thelma & Louise” is a good option if you have never been out West or if you have and long to return.
“The Grand Budapest Hotel” (2014)
It's one of the most satisfying films of director Wes Anderson's all works. Set in a luxury ski resort in the fictional East European Republic of Zubrowka in the 1930s, the plot is supported by a murder investigation filled with stolen art, prison escapes and a secret concierge (看门人) society.
Though the hotel doesn't actually exist, much of the film was shot in the beautiful German town of Goerlitz, famed for its medieval streets.
“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone” (2001)
When Harry Potter runs through a column at King's Cross Station in London to get to Platform 9， we know it isn't real. And yet we want to visit.
The movie's locations are inspired by real places, as graduates of English private schools will tell you: rushing down narrow old streets to visit tea houses and sandwich shops, discovering books that are hundreds of years old.
“The Trip to Italy” (2014)
In this film, you're on an extraordinary road trip along with two old friends. The route is from Piedmont via Rome to Amalfi, back to Naples and finally the tiny island of Capri. Retracing the footsteps of romantic poets Byron and Shelley, they drive a Mini Cooper through the breathtaking country and alongside steep seaside cliffs.
