BOISE, Idaho — 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.
