This probably isn't the best way to do it, but it worked for me.

I had to do the same in some project. This is what I did:

public final class cacheThis {
private cacheThis() {}

public static void writeObject(Context context, String fileName, Object object) throws IOException {
      FileOutputStream fos = context.openFileOutput(fileName, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
      ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
      oos.writeObject(object);
      oos.flush();
      oos.close();

      fos.close();
   }

   public static Object readObject(Context context, String fileName) throws IOException,
         ClassNotFoundException {
      FileInputStream fis = context.openFileInput(fileName);
      ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
      Object object = ois.readObject();
      fis.close();
      return object;
   }
}

To write to file:

cacheThis.writeObject(YourActivity.this, fileName, movieList);

To read from file:

movieList.addAll((List) cacheThis.readObject(
                VideoActivity.this, fileName));

You have to have your Movie class implements Serializable
