A Big Seattle Movie Guide: What to Watch and What to Skip


Old, new, major, minor—here’s our city, and sometimes our state, on the screen.

A pan across lake union. Then we plunge into a tugboat's engine room, where we meet the married, middle-aged couple who own it. They'll spend the next hour and a half engaged in bouts of slapstick bickering. That’s how Seattle first hit cinema screens, in 1933, in
Tugboat Annie. It's not exactly a must-see, but since then, the city and the state around it have been portrayed in hundreds of movies (many shot in Vancouver, BC). Below are brief reviews of films that are significantly set here, divided alphabetically into three categories: Definitely Watch, Worth a Watch, and Skip. We’ll keep adding as we keep watching.
