Moviefone can find your nearest theaters, movie times, trailers, and in some cases you can buy tickets.</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1237562292.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>There are some issues such as not being able to buy tickets at all locations and theaters in search may or may not be the closest one to you. But <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=307840047&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">MovieFone</a>&nbsp;has some nice features, such as being able to touch the phone number for the theater to call it, &nbsp;and linking to your address book if you want to get a group together to go with you to the movie. And you can't beat the price.&nbsp;</p>
