MGM and UA Movies Now on iTunes

iTunes
We've got a feeling this iTunes thing is gonna be huge.

Sarcasm aside, movies on iTunes seem to be taking off, despite some initial skepticism. The newest converts to the Church of Apple are United Artists and MGM Studios. Along for the ride are such films as Robocop, Mad Max, Foxy Brown, and Dances with Wolves.

The shipment of the Apple TV streaming media unit no doubt had some influence on the timing of this decision. Since the new 'media center lite' is finally in consumers' hands, it makes sense for Apple to beef up its already respectable lineup of downloadable TV shows and movies.

Unfortunately all flicks downloaded from the iTunes store are still only standard definition, which strikes us as a bit of a waste since the Apple TV is capable of displaying high-definition video.
