For large files and movies, I'd strongly suggest you look at XFS. It's supposed to be really good in that application.
One word of warning though, XFS partitions can be grown or expanded (i.e. LVM, add disk, etc.) but it can not be shrunk. As long as you don't lose a drive, you'll be OK. A friend/coworker uses XFS on his disks for his MythTV box. He lost a hard drive. He might not have lost everything had XFS been able to shrink as well as grow, or if he had made backups or used a mirrored configuration. Even with that caveat, I'd still recommend XFS.
