Swagger is right, you will have to iterate through each page until there are no pages left. You cannot increase the 'items per page' parameter.
Please note though, while 2.1 hasn't been given an explicit EOL date yet, developing an app with anything on 2.1 now is probably a waste of your time. This was recently discussed here.
Thanks you guys for the prompt responses. I have started looking at version 3. I want to get comprehensive movie info, looks like I'll have to use append_to_response. Is that the proper way to go for getting info such as cast, cost, revenue, etc in one call?
Also, what do you use to convert json to csv? Any free utilities out there?

Yes, it is.
Also, what do you use to convert json to csv?
I don't know of any tools or utilities for this. In Ruby it's pretty easy as you can just serialize your JSON and treat it like a regular hash. Converting it to an array and then to a CSV is pretty straightforward. Depending on your preferred language and skill level, it should be easy to do manually.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think you have to send a query with the page number you want:
Say you queried the 'now_playing' and got this (from the documentation): { "page": 1, "results": [{...}], "total_pages": 4, "total_results": 62 }
I would just iterate through and send out a new query with the page parameter attached:
