About Seattle Movies

Seattle Movies puts every movie showing in Seattle, the Eastside and across the water to Bainbridge and Bremerton , all on one page. Independent houses and multiplexes, side by side. Free, no account, nothing to install.

Why it exists

Figuring out what's playing tonight used to mean opening a pile of theater websites, each laid out differently. This is the one page we wanted instead: every theater and every showing, sorted the way you actually decide, by theater, by film or by what's starting soon.

Seattle's screens

SIFF's three screens, Northwest Film Forum, the Grand Illusion, the Beacon, Central Cinema and the Big Picture are read straight from each theater's own calendar, so repertory nights and one-offs show up right next to the multiplexes. Rain or shine, there's something good playing!

How it works

Listings refresh through the day. Independent theaters are read from their own schedules, and the chains come from Fandango's public listings. We don't sell tickets: tap any time and you go straight to the theater's own page to buy. Times change and shows sell out, so that page always has the final word.

Who makes it

Seattle Movies is made by Ben VanderVeen, a designer in Portland, Oregon. It's an independent project, not owned by a theater, a chain or a ticket seller. Ads help cover the costs, and if you'd like to chip in, you can support it on Ko-fi.

Three cities

Seattle Movies is one of three sister sites, each built the same careful way.
