When I heard that the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) finally had its own iPhone app, I must admit, I was pretty unenthusiastic. There are already a ton of apps that searched the database, some of which I like quite a bit. But after trying out the official IMDB app, I’m hooked.

But it also offers local movie times, box office results, TV schedules, and other useful data, all in a VERY clean and well organized interface. Not only has this app replaced my other IMDB serach apps, but it may also bump Movies and Fandango off my iPhone’s home screen.
