Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios (MGM) and Apple today announced that MGM is now offering titles from its catalog of feature films for purchase at the iTunes Store. iTunes customers can now get films such as Dances With Wolves, Mad Max, The Great Train Robbery and Rocky, with other titles to be added in the coming weeks.

Titles from MGM‚Äôs collection that will be available on iTunes will include The Thomas Crown Affair, Ronin, and the musical Lilies of the Field. Movies from the iTunes Store are downloaded at a resolution of 640×480 and can be viewed on a computer, fifth generation iPod or widescreen TV with Apple TV. Unfortunately, the resolution that Apple currently offers is, unfortunately, well below the capabilities of most widescreen televisions.
“It‚Äôs exciting to be bringing so many amazing films from our catalog to iTunes,” said Douglas A. Lee, MGM‚Äôs executive vice president of Worldwide Digital Media. “We have an unrivaled movie library and are looking forward to adding even more films in the future so users can take their favorite movies with them wherever they go.”

“More than two million movies have now been downloaded from the iTunes Store making it the world‚Äôs most popular online movie store,” said Eddy Cue, Apple‚Äôs vice president of iTunes. “We‚Äôre absolutely thrilled so many legendary MGM films are joining an iTunes film catalog that now has over 500 movies.”
