AirDrop

Have you actually tried this? I’m sure the stock app won’t airdrop anything. iOS devices don’t share media files with other users for music or videos.

If the files are in the movie app the iPad comes with, it will probably need iTunes. If these movie were bought from Apple they might be downloadable through the iTunes Store app.

Yeah it depends on where the movie files are. Airdrop is your best bet if it allows you.

Well, if you don’t have access to iTunes, will you have access to Airdrop? A movie file will run you hundreds of MBs, if not a gig or two. That’s no easy task over LTE or 4G, if it even allows you to transfer at all.

Why won’t you have access to iTunes on the new iPad?

Define films. Because transferring purchased movies is different than transferring videos you filmed with the camera

Yeah it seems like it should be very straightforward to move a movie/show/song from one of your devices to another, but nope. If you’re doing it the Apple way, you need a third computer with iTunes. Which is bad if, say, you’re on an airplane and decide you want move a movie from your iPhone to your iPad—impossible (unless your brought your laptop with iTunes). It’s things like this that shows Apple hasn’t yet fully graduated iOS devices from being adjunct, or they’re blindly assuming everybody only streams AND always has internet connection, which is not the case.
