The Big Flicks

The Big Flicks was a former Saturday weekend programming block on the American children's subscription network Gingo. It was broadcast every Saturday and Sunday night. It was launched on May 17, 1997 with the first movie to air was Dennis the Menace.

The block featured animated theatrical feature films, animated made-for-TV feature films, animated direct-to-video/DVD films, films made for Gingo, and live-action films. Some of the films on the block had to be edited for content in order to be aired and in some rare cases were left uncut. To date, The Big Flicks is the only programming block using the Gingo name to air TV-14 programming.

The block was discontinued after a Sunday airing of Iron Man 3 on October 29, 2016. Despite this, movies are still shown on the network, but without the Big Flicks branding.

Origins
Debuting on May 17, 1997, it is the de-facto movie identity of Gingo. It airs films from the period. The block also aired on Gingo at Nite and NightHouse, who were two of Gingo's most popular nighttime blocks ever. Besides Gingo Movies, it contains animated films from other various studios, including Universal Animation Studios, Illumination, DreamWorks Animation, and other third-party studios. It also aired live-action films.

The block was first named "Gingo's Movie Night" until after the 9/11 attacks, when it was renamed to "The Big Flicks" in 2001.
