When I was a student at the UW, I would routinely go here to rent the movies I needed to watch for my film classes and history classes (even my English Lit - don't tell!). This is a really helpful store, with TONS of movies that you can't find elsewhere. I used to live next to the original Scarecrow over on 65th and Latona, and I'm so glad that they moved to this new, larger location (long ago, but since I still remember the early 90s with their little store, this is new to me!). Great place, best selection anywhere.

I ordered from the Scarecrow Video website and was amazed at the ease with which I placed the order and then the speed with which it arrived on my doorstep. Beats Amazon.com any day! I knew that Scarecrow had a nationwide following - apparently folks from L.A.'s movie scene frequent Scarecrow Video. I didn't feel like driving, so I tried the website. It was great.

my family's home movies. I was really disappointed. I mean, the one where I have a mullet or the one where I am cross-dressing as a five year old are amazing movies but no, Scarecrow said that they haven't found out how to get them yet. But they will. I'm sure of it. Until then I go there to get the 'easier to find' movies about cats who like to protest big business on Tuesdays and the documentaries about mothers against drunk boating. I still ask about the home movies though. The mullet one is to die for!

Scarecrow Video in the U-District is to movies what Powell's in Portland is to books. Geared more to the serious film fanatic than the casual video viewer, the main floor is organized by director rather than genre. However, entire upstairs rooms are dedicated to specific genres such as Film Noir and Anime. There is a huge selection of foreign films. Countries with 'serious' film industries are better represented; you will find more rare French dramas than Bollywood hits. But the odds are that no matter how obscure a movie you are looking for, Scarecrow has it.

scarecrow video at the corner of roosevelt way and 50th is the coolest video store in seattle! they have all of the regular movies that you would rent at the regular chain stores, but in addition they also have many many hard to find movies, many independent movies, etc... there are two stories, and the store is huge! staff are very knowledgeable, and helpful. there's also a really good adult collection!

Scarecrow video is amazing. They have all the movies you wished the big chains carried. Then ones that are out of print, obscure, indie, or otherwise. While we live quite a ways from Scarecrow I will occasionally venture across town to rent here as I know they will have what I need. I highly recommend going to check it out if you haven't already.
