    If you connect your iPad to your Mac's iTunes and select its Movies tab e.g.

     

    device itunes 12 movies.jpg

    You should be able to use the right-hand side of that screen to select and sync them to the iPad's Videos app

     

    Or you might be able to select the films in the Movies part of your Mac's iTunes library and click-and-drag them over to the left-hand side of your iTunes screen, and you might get a sidebar appear allowing you to drop them onto the iPad device.

     

    Or, and if they are iTunes purchased films and they are still in the store and you haven't moved countries since buying them (and they aren't hidden from the cloud : Hide and unhide purchases in iTunes or iBooks on your Mac or PC - Apple Support), they might show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app on the iPad for downloading to its Videos app
