Best movie making software

I'm trying to make a movie with photos and films using Movie Maker. However, it keeps crashing when I try to do ANYTHING. I think this is because it's fairly long - about 20mins. When I've done 5 minute jobs its been very slow but has worked.
Is there a good alternative (free ideally but would consider buying) that can handle big projects?
As ever, ideas gratefully received...

I use that too but have recently tried out Ulead VideoStudio after a few of my students successfully made use of Green Screen technology. See Baba-roo Productions (select The Jeffersons or Grandma's Story), rather good don't you think (my acting that isI use Pinnacle Studio for bigger projects

Ignore the bad reviews online... I trusted Mr Humphreys and it worked out okay for me

Now that's got to be good thenAdobe Premiere Elements 4 (released last month) is the best I've ever used.

Noticed that it's only a few quid; just started downloading the trial version from Adobe. Any idea if it supports 'green sceen'?

Screens, if you can settle with half-decent stuff, needn't be too expensive. Just pop down and get yourself green card for 3-5 quid and that should do it. The students that created their movies using green screens did just that, see their Miami Vice for a rather good example (non-history related...but the kit costs and trying to find the accessories such as decent microphones etc can be a pain.

Microphone is a different issue if you want top-of-the-range outcome(s); I use cheap ones and the quality is too I guess.

Does anyone know of free online video editing? I saw a very simple version on something called shmash.tv and it looks great but I wonder if there's anything similar that I could use.

A colleague gave me a copy which does a great job of using still and moving picture together with a soundtrack.
