OneTap Movies
At least the ads scroll away with the rest of the list.
OneTap Movies includes only the basics to find movie time listings; it shows recent movies, high-grossing movies, or theatre schedules near your location. If that’s all you need, the interface works well, displaying theaters with a disclosure triangle to reveal specific movies and movie times.
While you can watch trailers and view theatre locations on a map, OneTap Movies does little else. An obscure link leads to an IMDB listing, but you can’t track down full reviews beyond the cryptic Avantar-provided star values. There’s no way to search or browse an alphabetical movie list. And once you make a decision about a movie, you can’t buy tickets through the app.
OneTap Movies will get you to the right theatre, but it lacks competitors' features.OneTap Movies 1.2

I have OneTap Movies with my iPhone 3G and I can buy tickets just fine. I've checked out the other movie apps, too, and I think this one is the best. You should double check your facts.
