How to transfer movies to my Apple TV?

I own a 160Gb Apple TV and a puny 120Gb mac book pro... I would like to transfer movies from my computer to my Apple TV (works well with the sync) but then would like to be able to delete them from my comp's hard drive and keep them only on the Apple TV. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance

as others have said keeping your files ONLY on appleTV is not a good idea... and not it's intention... appleTV is still sometimes flaky and may need to be reset at time... without the files also on an external drive somewhere you will kiss your files good bye... also you can't get the files off of the appleTV if need be without taking the appleTV apart, removing the HDD and attaching it to a computer or hacking it... both of which would void your warranty
in the case of a laptop.. airport extreme with attached USB drive or time capsule are good options as they allow for wireless connection to external... also remember that unless you can afford to lose everything on your drive you should in addition backup i.e. time capsule with USB drive attached or airport with two drives attached... one for storage and one for backup... you can get 500GB drives for $70 these days... is it worth taking the chance you lose everything on your computer over $140?

    Where are these movies? what format do they have?
    You'll need to Import them into iTunes, and sync them through there if they aren't in itunes already.
    Yoiu may need to convert them to a playable format for the iPad. If its a video format itunes support, you ncan make playable versions for iPad from within iPad.
    Alternatively if you find a Video App such as Moli Player you can import them into the App through iTunes File sharing as well without having to change their format. Moli player is capable of playing many types of videos and audio formats.

    how can I transfer movies from the apple tv to the ituenes, to watch in the ipad?

    Is this a rental or a purchase?
    Rentals on ATV cannot be transferred.
    The 2nd and 3rd gen model do not have accessible storage. Some movie purchases are stored in iCloud (if you live in the US) where you can reload in iTunes on your computer)
    If you own the 1st gen aluminum model then it should be set to sync

    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync your film the iPad's Videos app. If it says that it isn't compatible with the iPad then try doing Advanced > Create iPad Version and then try syncing that version over.

    For transferring videos you could use 'Video Transfer App'. I'm the developer of this universal application (iPhone/iPad) that let's you transfer videos from your iPad or computer directly to another iPhone or iPad.
    The app is currently in the Top 25 iPad apps in the photography category.
    Here are couple of videos that show how the app works:
