This shell script will pause between clips until you hit return:

for i in clip1.avi clip2.avi
do
	mplayer -fs $i
	read
done

You will see the desktop between clips though.

Create a short blank video clip and play that instead of pausing:

for i in clip1.avi clip2.avi
do
	mplayer -fs $i
	mplayer -fs blank.avi -loop 0
done

The blank clip will loop until you hit q then the next clip will play.
No doubt someone else will know a better way but these should work
well enough.
