"The Movie and Tech Series is supported by DVDVideoSoft. Discover Free Studio, a full collection of free software to process video, images and audio at DVDVideoSoft.com. Clean, free and user-friendly.\nPerusing the mobile app landscape, it's pretty clear that a whole bunch of developers love movies. For movie fans, this is pretty great because it means there are tons of apps for movie addicts to choose from. \nAs great as this is, the premise for many of these apps is that you already know what movie you want to watch. With hundreds of cable and satellite channels, 30-screen multiplexes, and online video sites like Hulu, Netflix and YouTube, answering the question \"What should I watch?\" can be pretty difficult.  \nWell, as the saying goes, there's an app for that! Actually, there are tons of apps for that. We've scoured the App Store and the Android Market to find some of the best movie discovery and recommendation apps out there.\nHere are five of our favorites \u2014 let us know about yours in the comments below.\n1. Movie Night Out - iPhone and Android\nMovie Night Out [iTunes link] is a free app for the iPhone and Android that is designed to help answer the question, \"what do you want to do tonight?\" The app is pretty ingenious because it not only helps you find movies playing in your area, but also find places to eat or grab coffee after the flick.\n\n\n\n\nYou can tell the app what kind of movie you want to watch \u2014 say you want a comedy or a drama \u2014 and it will use your location to show you what's playing at theaters near you. You can then find nearby restaurants or coffee shops for post-movie bliss.\nIt's like a cheat sheet for date night!\n2. EW Must List - iPad and iPhone\nEach week, Entertainment Weekly offers a rundown of what movies, books, music and TV shows shouldn't be missed. EW has also made this information accessible on the iPhone [iTunes link] and iPad [iTunes link]. Using the app, you can watch trailers, read reviews and get release information all from within the app.\n\n\n\n\nEvery Friday, 10 new picks are added to the list and you can review picks from the last four weeks right on the app. You can also buy movies directly from iTunes, if it's something that has just been released on home video \u2014 or get quick links to purchase movie tickets.\n3. Miso - iPhone and Android\nSometimes the best way to get an idea of what to watch is to see what your friends are watching. That's the idea behind Miso, one of the hot new entertainment checkin services on the scene.\nLike GetGlue, which we covered in our roundup of apps for movie lovers, Miso lets you earn badges and check in to different content. The real benefit, however, is that you can see what your friends are watching and also see what movies or TV shows are currently trending or are popular. It's a great way to get a reminder of a flick you want to check out or rewatch.\n\n\n\n\nMiso is free and available for iPhone [iTunes link] and Android.\n4. Movies Now HD and Fandango\nIn North America, two of the most popular online movie ticketing services are MovieTickets.com and Fandango. Combined, these services cover nearly every major movie chain. While you can buy tickets or browse showtimes from a mobile web browser, there are apps for both services as well.\nFandango has a free app for iPhone [iTunes link] and Android, while MovieTickets.com has an unofficial (and beautifully executed) app by way of Movies Now HD [iTunes link].\n\n\n\n\nBoth apps let you find upcoming showtimes in your area and purchase tickets from participating theaters. Movies Now HD is $1.99, works on the iPhone and iPad and can conveniently link to your MovieTickets.com account.\nBoth apps offer upcoming films, trailers and synopsis info. Fandango even provides access to the Metacritic rating of a film.\n5. Clicker - iPhone and Android\nWe've covered Clicker before. It's a web service and iPhone [iTunes link] and Android app that lets you find out what type of content is available to watch online, as well as what your friends are watching.\n\n\n\n\nThe cool thing about the Clicker mobile apps is that you can get movie information on the go, manage your Clicker playlist, see what titles are trending and see what your friends are watching. You can also search for mobile-friendly video, and on the iPhone you can purchase movies or TV shows from iTunes.\nLike Miso, Clicker is a cool way to get ideas based on what others are watching, but it goes one step further by letting you know what's available to watch online.\nYour Picks\nThose are our favorite apps for finding a great flick \u2014 what about you?
