What kinda movie server?
If you're going for a professional style server, then look at probably a SCSI setup with RAID if you need redundancy. Also, you'll probably want to check on getting multiple NIC's in it because you might be able to have two connections for people, or one for administation and one for sending.
I'd personally set up probably just a simple XP box with filesharing. Depends on the amount of security that you want.
Also, as I said above, it all depends on the movies also, because if you are doing ripped DVD's, they'll catch on that you're spreading stuff, they'll drop your connection like nuthin depending on the schools rules. If you are a student, try talking with the people in the Information Tech dept if you plan on running legit movies or what not, and they'll be able to suggest things that would fit better and such. I know here at my school, spreading mp3's is grounds for dismissal from the school.
