If you love movies - watching them, talking about them and collecting them – here are some apps to bring movies to your Android phone.

If you have a Netflix streaming account, you can use their official Android app, Netflix, to watch movies and TV shows from your Android phone. It syncs up with your account so you can pick from where you left off on your television or computer. You can manage your Netflix queue from the app and find new shows and movies to watch.

Crackle is a free app with unlimited, free to watch movies and TV shows. The movies and TV shows tend to be older titles, but if you are looking for some free content to watch on your Android, there are several good titles to pass the time.

Fandango Movies for Phones is the app you need to keep on top of the latest movie releases. It is the official app for Fandango.com with theater listings, show times, movie listings, cast details, movie photos and trailers.  You can browse for movies playing at nearby theatres and buy tickets on the app. Rate and review movies directly from the app and post to your Facebook wall, check the last 10 tweets about a movie or read its Metacritic reviews.

If you have a huge collection of DVDs, you can organize your movie catalog with the free, ad-supported Movie Collection & Inventory app. It even has a barcode scanner interface to make entering your movie collection easy. You can enter category, rating and personal notes, number of times watched and other information for each movie and track statistics like total number of movies, movies in each category etc. You can back up all this information to the server too.

You’ve probably already heard of GetGlue, the social network for all things entertainment related. The GetGlue Android app makes it easy to check-in and rate the movie or TV show you are watching. Just like on the website, you can find and follow your friends, get updates on what they are watching, earn stickers and get recommendations for what to watch next.
