My favorite is mplayer. It is just an awesome package and can play
every video format I can think of. Add the following line to
/etc/apt/sources.list and install the corresponding package which
matches with your architecture.
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
Everything should be fine once you install it. If you have trouble
getting the movie in full screen, check the -vo option in the manual
page and choose a different output plugin.
