You could edit .mc.ext to start xanim on *.avi or *.mov files.
Or install the multimedia package. It has a nice little app, xgetfile,
that does exactly what you might want. 
>From the man page:

       XGetfile  is a versatile file requester. It pops up a win­
       dow and lets the user chose a file with the mouse  or  the
       keyboard.  When  the  user selects a file, several actions
       are possible.

       As a versatile frontend to an audio file player  with  the
       assumed command name play :

        xgetfile -title "Please select a file to play" -exec "play %s" -queue"
