I would use xfs if I were you, since you mentioned storing movies on it and
xfs is widely held to be the best file system for large files. xfs is also my
favourite file system for other reasons, it has a very good tool support
If you do decide to go with xfs, make sure you've done an online update, as
the original kernel in 9.1 had a bug that made it fail with xfs partitions. A
fixed kernel was released shortly after 9.1 was released, so if you've
already done one online update you should be fine now
