Hi! Could someone please guide me which software to use to watch movies.....This has been the only thing that has prevented me in fully converting on to Linux. After all watching movies is important

In my experience, I'd go with Xine (easier to install) though a little hassle... Requires a separate frontend (GUI)
Xine home page
Mplayer home page

Edit: With the latest libxine you can view Quick Times V6 & mostly V6.1

MPlayer, for sure. It plays everything... DVD, DivX, Xvid, MOV, RAM, ASF, WMZ, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...
