I also recommend Xine. I had problems with Mplayer on certain distros, 
but haven't any big problem with Xine so far. Mplayer sometimes don't 
work from repo, sometimes don't work from source, and sometimes it work 
but only from command line interface.

I only had problems with some codec's Xine  does use - few times my 
computer freezed during playback. But I knew that does movies have 
codec's issue - the movies had coding bugs, lets say.
