The Flicks celebrates 40 years of business in downtown Boise

Located in the heart of downtown Boise, The Flicks has been showing independent, foreign, and art films since 1984.

Now, the theater is inviting the public to see one of the movies they screened on opening night 40 years ago. Casablanca (1942) will be playing at The Flicks on Saturday, September 21 at 7 pm.

The Boise staple is also home to Rick's Cafe, named after the club from Casablanca, which offers a selection of snacks, desserts, hot entrees, and wine and beer for moviegoers.
