It sounds like your monitors are combined into one virtual display then, using 
something like Xinerama.  I'm not sure how you could restrict each movie to 
one monitor, my best guess would be to play the movie in a window and just 
resize the window so it takes up one whole monitor.

I run my monitors as separate X11 screens, so I don't have this problem, but 
when you run them as separate screens you can't do things like drag windows 
across monitors.  This doesn't bother me because I like having them separate 
(it means I can run them in different resolutions, colour depths, etc.) but 
it's not for everyone.

Cheers,
Adam.
