Best movie finder

When it comes to finding a movie, the free Showtimes is my favorite iPhone app of the bunch. app figures out my location, shows me theaters in order of proximity, and ties into the Maps application to give me directions from my current location. It even offers movie trailers and summaries; shows movies by popularity, user rating, or newness; and includes links to MetaCritic, RottenTomatoes, and IMDB pages for movies using an integrated browser.--JONATHAN SEFF
