Im sure there is still use in those and massive benefits on owning a true one-word domain name. Think of the number of people that still pay mo they fees to AOL in the US. In a global context there are millions who don't really know how the internet works - from all the new arrivals (usvisa.com, health.in, ...) to many seniors (recipes.com, taxes.com) to in particular the 8-12 year olds arriving each year in the internet with little conceptual background (boobs.com, homework.com).
But to be clear: moviefone/phone.com is obviously not one of those valuable domains, or at least will quickly sizzle out as the name is not really intuitive and you have to know about it to type it in (equivalent would be movies.com, cinema.com, etc).
