Boise Classic Movies

Boise Classic Movies rents space at the Egyptian Theatre to bring Boise amazing classic films. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing their presentations of Indiana Jones, Grease, Labyrinth, The Princess Bride, 16 Candles, ET, and Young Frankenstein – so much fun!
What I love about the series is that, not only are you afforded the opportunity to see classic films on the big screen (in the case of ET? Nothing better than the bicycle scene on the big screen! Seriously!), but you also get to see that film in a theater full of people who love it as much as you do! People cheer the heroes, boo the villains, sometimes shout lines («Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.»), and the whole thing usually ends in applause. Grease even turned into a bit of a singalong (Look at me, I’m Sandra Dee…).
Boise Classic Movies also arranges to bring in a bar during their films, so you can get a glass of wine or local craft beer (Payette Brewing’s Mutton Buster Brown was on tap the last time I was there!). The Egyptians concessions are also open for the usual popcorn/​candy/​soda fare.
They even gather nominations on their website if there’s a classic film you’re just dying to see on the big screen. Once they gather the nominations, you can go on their site and vote for your favorite.
I’m looking forward to end of November/​December as I understand they’re primed to do a whole Christmas series of classic films! Love it!
Get to it!
