Scarecrow Video

I wrote about Satyajit Ray's DAYS AND NIGHTS IN THE FOREST, which plays @siffnews.bsky.social Uptown in Seattle, for the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social website. What a beauty this film is. scarecrowvideo.org/posts/the-se...

I was ten years old, and I can't believe I convinced my mom to take me to the theater to see it. Literally the greatest thing she has ever done. It's the reason I love movies.

Movie Legend Bruce Campbell Reveals Cancer Diagnosis, Promises To Keep Being The King Regardless - SlashFilm Leave it to a living legend like Bruce Campbell to tell the world that he has been diagnosed with cancer in a way that is so 'Bruce Campbell.'

Long live the King

if you want to dive into physical movies and don't have a local video store, consider @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social's rent-by-mail program. largest video store in the world and a nonprofit dedicated to film preservation!

The best way to start your week is checking out the new Viva and all the goodies within! Dave Foley! Plucky old woman abandoned in a beachside tourist town! A wrestling terrier! youtu.be/jPDgufth3fs?...

A reminder to those in our Seattle area: @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social exists to scratch that itch.

NEW VIVA ALERT 🚨

If a disc looks iffy, we will check it; but we can't check every disc.

We compare it with our current rental, and if the donation is in better condition will will upgrade our rental. Anything else, we might keep as a spare or we will sell.

In memory of owner Craig Wilson, former Queen Anne/Fremont rental shop Video Isle facilitated the donation of their extensive collection to Scarecrow this past weekend. Our largest donation ever!

Listening to @kenjennings.bsky.social talk about @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social on @kuow.org's Week In Review and thought to myself, "man, if only I could rent by mail." So I checked and YOU CAN!

So far our Valentine's Day in-store watch has included Kazan's SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS & Wong Kar-wai's CHUNGKING EXPRESS! Time 2 yearn!

today's your last chance to cash in on some screamin' deals!

New episode alert! BROADCAST NEWS ('87), MILLENNIUM ('89), & LADY AND THE TRAMP ('55)! Go tell @colonelmortimer.bsky.social and @whateverokay.bsky.social how good they are at watching movies. youtu.be/QNti918ViqA

Happy Birthday to Carol Channing! Watching 1985's ALICE IN WONDERLAND, where she plays The White Queen.

Honoring the memory of Catherine O'Hara today. Previously played a whole bunch of SCTV episodes in the store, and now we've moved on to BEST IN SHOW. #RIP

Incredible news! A cathedral of cinema, a treasure house of trash, a palace of physical discs (and tapes), Scarecrow will thrive!

Never a director section for this guy.

This is such a win for Seattle (and movie people everywhere). We’re lucky to have Scarecrow!

The greatest store of its kind anywhere, amazing news.

This is such wonderful news for the film scene in Seattle (which has had some real blows in the last couple of years). So exciting!

Scarecrow Video is a Seattle landmark, yes, but it's also believed by most to be the largest collection of physical film media in the world -- over 150,000 titles. This is huge news.

One of the best institutions in the US

A real building for real movies.

As a card-carrying member since 1992, I'm happy to hear this!

This is awesome! Seattle once was a stomping ground for me. Seeing artists grow and expand makes my indie/horror heart soar! We got home grown #monsterkids!

Huge win for physical media!
