Flicks was a former weekend programming block launched in the Summer of 2008 that aired movies, and the secondary movie block compared with the Movie Madness block (which went defunct on July 23, 2008).

Before programming and the end of the promos, the quote "Catch a flick, with the Flicks" (or "Kick back with the Flicks") would be stated, and then the programming would soon air.

The block featured animated theatrical feature films, animated made-for-TV feature films, animated direct-to-video/DVD films, films made for Cartoon Network, and live-action films.

The name of the block was changed on Christmas to "Flicksmas". On July 3, 2010, "Flicks" were rebranded with a live-action human family, no longer containing the Noods. It was later hosted by internet personality KevJumbua (Kevin Wu) in 2011, and finally in 2013, the sentient C and N letters from the current network logo along with a dog named "Flicksy" began hosting.

The block was discontinued at the end of February 28, 2015. Movies were still shown on the network but without the Flicks branding until 2021, when the ACME Night block launched.
