How the hell are you ending up finding movies that are less than 1GB and are still quality enough to actually watch?

Search for something, sort by number of seeders, download the top file around the size you want.

Also remembering uploaded names helps (yify comes to mind)

I understand that, my point was that at 1080p and less than 1GB of storage... that bitrate must be trash and virtually unwatchable.

Edit: To my point... A lot of my anime episodes are like 300-900MB... but those are ~25 minutes... To find a 90+ minute movie at 1GB... that's an estimated 2/3 of the quality of an anime image which is usually easier to compress. I just can't see a normal movie being 1GB and not looking like480p that was poorly upscaled to 1080p... like a camrip.
