    Technically, u can play movies.
    Actually, ever hear of wii homebrew applications?
    Right now u need a “mod chip” to be able to run homebrew applications and some can play movies.
    Just wait a couple of months, some nerdy programmer will have an application figured out so that u can play dvd’s without a mod chip.
    I don’t recommend mod chip tho. Even tho it allows u to play unlimited free downloaded (somewhat illegal) games from the internet and lets u play it on ur wii, if ur not experienced enough, u run the risk of damaging ur wii.
    But yeah, it can play movies and gamecube games.

    It can play Gamecube games without any troubles. You don’t even have to be especially careful with the discs. Even if you put the miniature discs in the side instead of the center, the Wii will center it for you and recognize the game.
    However, there’s no DVD playback software on the Wii, so you can’t play any movies. There have been rumors going around that Nintendo would open DVD playback eventually, but no one knows if or when that will happen.

    You can play Gamecube games on it, but for movies you are pretty much limited to Flash movies (such are can be found on YouTube) on the Internet. It doesn’t have a DVD player.
