The German public TV Stations deliver us a huge source of different Movies in ther own Media libraries like the ZDF or ARD Library.
Sadly they need to remove the movies after some time, but it's simple to safe them. You can use different Plugins fro Browser or you can also using a free app, named "MediathekView" who is running under Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
With this App you can search in all Librarys of ARD, ZDF, Arte, 3Sat, SWR, BR, MDR, NDR, WDR, HR, RBB, ORF and SRF. BUt it's not only a search and downloader, you can also Access the Infos about the movie, programming automatic downloads for Series or creating a personal subscription list
If you would download a Movie, you have the choice what quality you want and if you want to safe the subtitles (if available) and the Info in a seperate TXT File.
If you are not sure if the File is the right one, you can also start a simple playing of the movie over VLC (you need to install that free Player -> Video Lan Client).

And this is how it looks:
