If you've already updated to a post-202 nightly, then you'll want to change density in build.prop.

You'll need Root Explorer or another root file explorer. Go into the app's settings and make sure root or superuser is enabled.
Navigate to /system folder by going up or back two directories from /sdcard.
In /system, mount R/W. There will either be a R/W button up top, or an option under Menu > More.
Long-press build.prop and "Open in Text Editor."
Find "qemu.sf.lcd_density=161" just over halfway down and change it to 160.
Reboot.
Run Market.
If you see a Movies category, you're done.
If not, close Market, long-press your Market icon, Application Info > Clear Data.
Repeat 7 thru 9 until it sticks.
