How do I watch downloaded movies on the macbook?

Hi. I'm a new mac user, and I don't know everything about it yet. I'm wondering how I can watch downloaded movies or tv-shows on my macbook? I usually watch downloaded movies on vlc, but it doesn't work. I just don't get it. Hope someone can help me!

I personally enjoy using DivX for watching movies. It supports a multitude of files.
You can find it here: http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac
Depending on the legitimacy of your downloads, certain sites may require you to install specific programs to run a specific file type that they host. If DivX doesn't work for you, then I would look deeper into the website to see if there's any additional software that may be of use to you there.

Is it safe to keep downloaded movies in the Macbook Pro or do I need to use an external hard disk for those ? Please suggest.

Is it safe to store the downloaded movies from iTunes in my Macbook Pro or do I need to store those separately in an external hard disk ? Please advice.

It will be no better or worse than any other video file and should not be responsible for any system instability. As I alluded to earlier, video takes up a lot of space and you can quickly use up that 200 GB of space. Download a few files to you MBP and see what impact it has. I have a couple of external HDDs dedicated to video files (and backups of same) due to the large file sizes.
If you find that space is getting tight on your MBP, then get an external for the video files and another one to back them up. I have a couple of external HDDs dedicated to video files (and backups of same) due to the large file sizes.

How do I watch downloaded movies during airplane mode on iOS7?

Had the HORRIBLE experience of boarding a 5 hour filght with my kids and turning on the iPad only to find that all of the movies we had synced to it VANISHED before my eyes. Needless to say it was a long flight. NOT COOL APPLE! Not cool. How do I fix this???

The movies must be downloaded to the iPad beforehand.
These were rentals or purchased ??

I'm really not understanding what you were doing. The MBP comes with the latest version of Quicktime already installed. If there had been an update (which there has not been), you would download it via System Preferences-Software Update.

I had a lot of moves downloaded last year from the old version and would like some assistance on how to get all those movies into my iTunes 11 library. Thank you.

you should starting with copying the iTunes folder from your old laptop to the new one.
the iTunes folder is in your user profile Music folder.
it should go to the same location on the new laptop.
Provided that you have your media, music and movies in the default location, and you sign in to your apple ID and authorize your new computer (all in iTunes)
you should have all intact.
Post if any problems.

How can I watch a movie I purchased ?

If you purchased and downloaded it on your computer's iTunes then it should be in the Movies section of your iTunes library and you should be able to play it from there. If you downloaded it on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch then it should be in the Videos app on that device - and if it's not a rental you can copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases so that you take a backup of it.

How do I delete a movie from the iTunes-cloud?

How do I delete a movie from the iTunes-cloud? I don't want to hide it I want to delete it even if it means I can't download it again..

Oh sure you can delete it from the computer. I thought that you wanted to permanently delete it so that you can never access it again. In fact, in some countries, you can delete movies and then download that again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID.
Launch iTunes on your computer and click on the movies tab under the Library heading, find the movie and right click on it and select Delete.
