The Beijing Winter Olympics are in full swing, and standing in front of the TV every day to cheer on the Olympic athletes has become a "required course" for everyone.
If you still have nothing to do between the games, the audience can find 11 movies related to the Winter Olympics to continue their enjoyment. They are all extremely classic ice and snow sports movies, covering the Winter Olympics skiing, figure skating, snowmobiles, and ice hockey. and more competitions.
