I like to watch movies and dvds on my computer and want to know how much space a two hour movie would take up on my hard drive when I eventually buy a computer.

It depends, a DVD movie uncompressed from its native dvd format will take up to 4.5gb of space, tho more if it is a DL disc, if it is it would be more to 8.5gb.
Newer disc formats such as blu-ray and hd-dvd will have movies that will fit in about 50gb +
Now those sizes can be shrinkered if you use compression, like Dvix, xvid, wma, mp3, mp4, mpeg-2, and such
what these formats can do is take videos from the size of 4.5gb and make them around smaller then 1gb. around 700mb averagely.

A DVD ISO will take up about 4.5GB
A downloaded movie will take up about a GB.

Edit: I'm kinda wondering how the hell cool_pal2chat came up with those numbers.
