    If ... you live in the U.S. - you can download some movies again fro free if you use the same Apple ID.

     

    Go to the purchased tab of the iTunes app on the iPad. Tap the View button in the upper left corner. If "Movies" appears in the resulting window - tap that. You should now see all of your purchased movies. Tap the movie and then tap the cloud icon to download it again.

    Unfortunately, you will have to buy the movies again. Free Re-Downloads are available only in the US.

     

    Are you sure that the movies are not in your iTunes library on the computer and you can just sync them back to the iPad?
