A lot of times I'll be searching for a movie, and wouldn't you know it there is a movie with the same name. Unfortunately phone flicks only returns one of the movies in the search function. The older one. I can't remember the several other times this has happened, but try searching for the movie titled FUEL. You will get a movie about a track star, when actually you may be looking for the documentary with woody harrellson that was made this year. Their should be some way when movies have the same title to see a list of the movies with their release year or other identifying facts so you can select the one you want. As it stands now you can only see the older movie. When you search in net flix for this same title the first two titles to appear are both called fuel and the first is the more recent movie. if the goal of this app is to have all the functionality of the net flix site, then this feature needs to be included. you would be surprised to find out how many titles have the same name. I think a search for sherlock holmes or hamlet would probably result in the same difficulty. Any one?

    How about these THREE titles..
    Sherlock Holmes
    True Grit
    The Mechanic
    For all of them I had to abandon phoneflicks and use the website..
