(1)       6,186,762 of the shares of Class A Common  Stock,  par value $0.01 per
          share  ("Issuer  Class A  Common  Stock"),  of  MovieFone,  Inc.  (the
          "Issuer")  covered  by  this  Schedule  13D  are  purchasable  by  the
          Reporting  Person upon exercise of an option  granted to the Reporting
          Person as of February 1, 1999 (the "Option"), and described in Items 3
          and 4 of this Schedule 13D.  Prior to the exercise of the Option,  the
          Reporting Person is not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the
          Issuer as to the shares of Issuer Class A Common Stock  covered by the
          Option. The Option may only be exercised upon the happening of certain
          events  referred  to in Item 4, none of which has  occurred  as of the
          date hereof.  The  Reporting  Person  expressly  disclaims  beneficial
          ownership  of any of the shares of Issuer  Class A Common  Stock which
          are  purchasable  by the Reporting  Person upon exercise of the Option
          until such time as the Reporting  Person  purchases any such shares of
          Issuer  Class A Common  Stock  upon any  such  exercise.  Based on the
          number  of  shares  of  Issuer  Class A Common  Stock  outstanding  on
          February 1, 1999,  as  represented  by the Issuer in the Agreement and
          Plan of Merger by and among the Issuer,  the  Reporting  Person and MF
          Acquisition  Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation  and a newly-formed
          wholly owned direct  subsidiary  of the  Reporting  Person  ("Newco"),
          dated as of February 1, 1999 (the "Merger  Agreement"),  the number of
          shares of Issuer Class A Common Stock subject to the Option represents
          approximately  49.8% of the outstanding Shares (as defined below) (and
          approximately 15.2% of the voting power of the outstanding Shares), or
          approximately  33.3% of the Shares after giving effect to the exercise
          of the Option  (and  approximately  14.0% of the  voting  power of the
          outstanding Shares after giving effect to the exercise of the Option).

(2)      2,657,732  of the  shares  of the  Issuer  Class  A  Common  Stock  and
         7,080,053  of the shares of Class B Common  Stock,  par value $0.01 per
         share ("Issuer Class B Common Stock" and together with the Issuer Class
         A Common  Stock,  "Issuer  Common  Stock" or "Shares") are subject to a
         Stockholders  Agreement dated as of February 1, 1999 (the "Stockholders
         Agreement"),  entered into by certain  stockholders  of the Issuer (the
         "Stockholders")  with the  Reporting  Person  pursuant to which,  among
         other  things,  such  Stockholders  have  agreed to vote,  or cause the
         Record Holder to vote, in person or by proxy,  or to the extent written
         consents  are  solicited,  execute and deliver  written  consents  with
         respect to, all of the shares of Issuer Common Stock beneficially owned
         by such  Stockholders in favor of the proposed merger of Newco with and
         into the Issuer.  Pursuant to the Certificate of  Incorporation  of the
         Issuer,  each share of Issuer Class B Common Stock is convertible  into
         one share of Issuer Class A Common Stock and, prior to conversion, each
         share of Issuer Class B Common Stock votes as five (5) shares of Issuer
         Class  A  Common  Stock.  The  Reporting  Person  expressly   disclaims
         beneficial  ownership  of any of the  shares  of  Issuer  Common  Stock
         covered by the Stockholders Agreement. Based on the number of shares of
         Issuer Common Stock  outstanding on February 1, 1999, as represented by
         the  Issuer in the  Merger  Agreement,  the  number of shares of Issuer
         Common  Stock   indicated   represents   approximately   78.4%  of  the
         outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock (and  approximately  93.4% of
         the voting power of the  outstanding  shares of Issuer  Common  Stock),
         excluding the shares of Issuer  Common Stock  issuable upon exercise of
         the Option (as described in note (1) above).

  Item 1. Security and Issuer.

                  This statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") relates to

described  in Items 3 and 4 below,  the  Reporting  Person may be deemed to have
formed a "group" with each of the Stockholders (as defined in Item 3 below), for
purposes of Section  13(d)(3) of the Act and Rule  13d-5(b)(1)  thereunder.  The
Reporting Person  expressly  declares that the filing of this Schedule 13D shall

each Stockholder and the number of Shares owned by each Stockholder is set forth
in  Schedule A to the  Stockholders  Agreement,  a copy of which is  included as
Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D and which  Schedule A is  incorporated  herein in
its entirety by reference.  To the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, based

                             Director

Robert Gukeisen              Vice President, New Technologies

                  To the best of the Reporting Person's knowledge as of the date
hereof, the name, business address,  present principal  occupation or employment
and citizenship of each executive  officer and director of the Reporting Person,
and the  name,  principal  business  and  address  of any  corporation  or other
organization  in which such  employment  is conducted is set forth in Schedule I
hereto.  The  information  contained  in  Schedule I is  incorporated  herein by
reference.

                  (d)-(e)  During the last five  years,  neither  the  Reporting
Person nor, to the  knowledge  of the  Reporting  Person,  any of the  executive
officers or directors of the Reporting Person,  has been convicted in a criminal
proceeding  (excluding  traffic violations or similar  misdemeanors),  or been a
party to a civil  proceeding of a judicial or  administrative  body of competent

decree  or final  order  enjoining  future  violations  of,  or  prohibiting  or
mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

                  The  Reporting  Person  entered into an Agreement  and Plan of
Merger dated as of February 1, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement") among the Reporting
Person, Newco and the Issuer, providing for, among other things, the merger (the
"Merger")  of Newco  with and into the Issuer  with the Issuer as the  surviving
corporation, and pursuant to which each outstanding Share will be converted into
the right to receive a fraction of a share  (based upon the  Exchange  Ratio set
forth in the Merger  Agreement) of common stock,  par value $0.01 per share,  of
the  Reporting  Person.  The  Merger is subject  to the  approval  of the Merger
Agreement by the Issuer's stockholders, the expiration of the applicable waiting
period  under  the  Hart-Scott-Rodino  Antitrust  Improvements  Act of 1976,  as
amended,  and any other required regulatory  approvals,  and the satisfaction or
waiver of  certain  other  conditions  as more  fully  described  in the  Merger
Agreement.

                  As an inducement  for the  Reporting  Person to enter into the
Merger  Agreement  and in  consideration  thereof,  the Issuer and the Reporting
Person   entered  into  that  certain  Stock  Option   Agreement   (the  "Option
Agreement"),  dated as of  February  1,  1999,  whereby  Issuer  granted  to the
Reporting   Person  an  option  (the   "Option")  to  purchase,   under  certain
circumstances described therein, up to 6,186,762 shares of Issuer Class A Common
Stock at a purchase  price per share  equal to $29.25,  as  adjusted as provided
therein (the  "Purchase  Price").  Based on the number of Shares  outstanding on
February  1, 1999 as  represented  by the  Issuer in the Merger  Agreement,  the
Option would be exercisable for  approximately  49.8% of the outstanding  Shares
(and  approximately  15.2% of the voting power of the  outstanding  Shares),  or
approximately  33.3% of the Shares  after  giving  effect to the exercise of the
Option (and  approximately  14.0% of the voting power of the outstanding  Shares
after giving effect to the exercise of the Option). The Reporting Person did not
pay  additional  consideration  to the  Issuer  in  connection  with the  Issuer
entering into the Option Agreement and granting the Option.

                  None  of the  Triggering  Events  (defined  in  Item 4  below)
permitting the exercise of the Option has occurred as of the date hereof. In the
event that the Option  becomes  exercisable  and the Reporting  Person wishes to
purchase  the  shares  of  Issuer  Class A Common  Stock  subject  thereto,  the
Reporting Person  anticipates that it would fund the exercise price with working
capital. See also Item 4 below.

                  As a further inducement for the Reporting Person to enter into
the Merger Agreement and in consideration thereof, certain trusts of which Henry
G. Jarecki is trustee,  and a trust of which Andrew Jarecki is trustee,  Divonne
Jarecki, Eugene D. Jarecki, Andrew Jarecki, Adam Slutsky, Thomas Jarecki, Robert
Gukeisen and J. Russell Leatherman (collectively,  the "Stockholders"),  entered
into a  Stockholders  Agreement  (the  "Stockholders  Agreement"),  dated  as of
February 1, 1999,  with the Reporting  Person whereby the  Stockholders  agreed,
severally and not jointly,  to vote all of the Shares beneficially owned by them
in favor of approval and adoption of the Merger,  the Merger  Agreement  and the
transactions  contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Reporting Person did not
pay additional consideration to any Stockholder in connection with the execution
and delivery of the Stockholders Agreement.

                  References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement,  the
Option  Agreement and the  Stockholders  Agreement,  respectively,  as set forth
above in this Item 3, are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies
of the Merger  Agreement,  the Option Agreement and the Stockholders  Agreement,
respectively,  included as Exhibits 1, 2 and 3,  respectively,  to this Schedule
13D, and are incorporated in this Item 3 in their entirety,  respectively, where
such references and descriptions appear.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

                  (a)-(j)  The   information   set  forth,  or  incorporated  by
reference, in Item 3 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

                  Pursuant to the Option  Agreement,  the Issuer has granted the
Reporting  Person the Option.  Upon the terms and subject to the  conditions set
forth in the Option Agreement,  the Reporting Person may exercise the Option, in
whole or in part, at any time and from time to time  following the occurrence of
certain  events (each,  a "Triggering  Event").  In general,  Triggering  Events
include:  (i) the  termination  of the  Merger  Agreement  if (a) the  Board  of
Directors of MovieFone shall have (1) failed to recommend  approval and adoption
of the Merger  Agreement and the Merger by the  stockholders  of  MovieFone,  or
withdrawn or modified, or proposed to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to
AOL, its approval or recommendation  of the Merger,  the Merger Agreement or the
transactions  contemplated  thereby,  (2) failed to mail the Proxy  Statement to
MovieFone's  stockholders  within a  reasonable  period of time  after the Proxy
Statement  shall be  available  for  mailing or failed to include  therein  such
approval and recommendation  (including the recommendation that the stockholders
of MovieFone  vote in favor of the  Merger);  (3) made any  recommendation  with
respect to any Acquisition  Proposal other than a recommendation  to reject such
Acquisition  Proposal,  (4) upon a request by AOL,  failed to reaffirm  any such
approval  or  recommendation,  (5) taken any action  prohibited  by Section  4.2
("Solicitation of Other Proposals") of the Merger Agreement,  (6) entered into a
definitive  or  binding  agreement  with  respect to a  Superior  Proposal,  (7)
breached  the  Option  Agreement  in any  material  respect or (8)  resolved  or
announced  its  intention  to do any  of the  foregoing;  or (b) a  third  party
acquires  33% or more of  outstanding  shares of capital  stock or other  equity
interests of MovieFone or any Material  Subsidiary;  and (ii) termination of the
Merger  Agreement  if,  at  MovieFone's  Stockholders'  Meeting  (including  any
adjournment or postponement  thereof), the requisite vote of the stockholders of
MovieFone  shall  not have  been  obtained  and  either  (a) at the time of such
termination  or prior to the  MovieFone  Stockholders'  Meeting there shall have
been an Acquisition  Proposal  (whether or not such Acquisition  Proposal or any
inquiry,  announcement or agreement relating to such Acquisition  Proposal shall
have  been  rejected  or shall  have  been  withdrawn  prior to the time of such
termination or of the MovieFone  Stockholders'  Meeting) or (b) MovieFone  shall
have entered into a binding agreement in connection with an Acquisition Proposal
within twelve (12) months following termination of the Merger Agreement.

                  The  Option  expires  on the date  which is one year  from the
occurrence of any  Triggering  Event if AOL does not provide  written  notice of
exercise of the Option.  In addition,  the Option will terminate at the earliest
of (i)  the  completion  of the  Merger,  (ii)  the  termination  of the  Merger
Agreement  other than  under  circumstances  which  constitute,  or  potentially
constitute  (upon the  occurrence of certain  subsequent  events as described in
clause (ii)(b) above) a Triggering  Event or (iii) the date eighteen (18) months
after termination of the Merger Agreement under circumstances whereby the Option
is  not  immediately,  but  is  potentially  (upon  the  occurrence  of  certain
subsequent events as described in clause (ii)(b) above),  exercisable,  provided
that no Triggering Event has occurred.

                  Upon the  occurrence of certain events set forth in the Option
Agreement, the Issuer is required to repurchase the Option and the Option Shares
held by the Reporting Person.  In addition,  the Option Agreement grants certain
registration rights to the Reporting Person with respect to the shares of Issuer
Class A Common Stock subject to the Option.

                  Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement,  the Stockholders have
agreed  to vote  all of the  Shares  beneficially  owned by them in favor of the
approval  and  adoption  of the Merger  Agreement.  The  Stockholders  Agreement
terminates  upon the  earlier  to occur of the  completion  of the Merger or the
termination of the Merger Agreement. The name of each Stockholder and the number
of  outstanding  shares of Issuer  Common  Stock  held by each  Stockholder  and
subject  to the  Stockholders  Agreement  are set  forth  on  Schedule  A to the
Stockholders Agreement which is incorporated herein by reference.

                  The  purpose  of the  Option  Agreement  and the  Stockholders
Agreement are to facilitate consummation of the Merger.

                  Upon  consummation of the Merger as contemplated by the Merger
Agreement,  (a) Newco will be merged into the Issuer, (b) the Board of Directors
of the Issuer  will be  replaced  by the Board of  Directors  of Newco,  (c) the
Certificate  of  Incorporation  and Bylaws of the Issuer will be replaced by the
Certificate of  Incorporation  and Bylaws of Newco, (d) the Shares will cease to
be authorized for listing on the Nasdaq  National Market and (e) the Shares will
become eligible for termination of registration  pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

                  References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement,  the
Option  Agreement and the  Stockholders  Agreement,  respectively,  as set forth
above in this Item 4, are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies
of the Merger  Agreement,  the Option Agreement and the Stockholders  Agreement,
respectively,  included as Exhibits 1, 2 and 3,  respectively,  to this Schedule
13D, and are incorporated in this Item 4 in their entirety,  respectively, where
such references and descriptions  appear.  Capitalized  terms used in Item 4 but
not otherwise  defined herein have the respective  meanings  assigned to them in
the Merger Agreement.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                  (a)-(b)  The number of shares of Issuer  Class A Common  Stock
covered by the Option is 6,186,762,  which  constitutes,  based on the number of
Shares  outstanding  on  February  1, 1999 as  represented  by the Issuer in the
Merger Agreement, approximately (i) 49.8% of the Shares (and approximately 15.2%
of the voting  power of the Shares)  outstanding  prior to giving  effect to the
exercise  of  the  Option,  or  (ii)  approximately  33.3%  of the  Shares  (and
approximately 14.0% of the voting power of the Shares) that would be outstanding
after giving effect to the exercise of the Option.

                  Prior to the exercise of the Option,  the Reporting Person (i)
is not  entitled  to any rights as a  stockholder  of Issuer as to the shares of
Issuer  Class A Common  Stock  covered  by the  Option  and (ii)  disclaims  any
beneficial  ownership  of the shares of Issuer  Class A Common  Stock  which are
purchasable  by the  Reporting  Person upon  exercise of the Option  because the
Option is exercisable  only in the limited  circumstances  referred to in Item 4
above,  none of which has  occurred  as of the date  hereof.  If the Option were
exercised, the Reporting Person would have the sole right to vote and to dispose
of the  shares  of  Issuer  Class A Common  Stock  issued  as a  result  of such
exercise,  subject to the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement.  See the
information in Items 3 and 4 above with respect to the Option  Agreement,  which
information is incorporated herein by reference.

                  The number of Shares covered by the Stockholders  Agreement is
9,737,785  (representing  2,657,732  shares of Issuer  Class A Common  Stock and
7,080,053   shares  of  Issuer  Class  B  Common   Stock),   which   constitutes
approximately  78.4% of the Issuer Common  Stock,  based on the number of Shares
outstanding  on February  1, 1999,  as  represented  by the Issuer in the Merger
Agreement (and represents  approximately 93.4% of the voting power of the Issuer
Common Stock). Based on the number of Shares outstanding on February 1, 1999, as
represented by the Issuer in the Merger Agreement,  and the number of Shares set
forth in Schedule A to the  Stockholders  Agreement,  certain trusts  (including
