If you have Quicktime Pro, it is easy to play a movie as your desktop. Play a movie using Quicktime as fullscreen, then press F11, which shows the desktop. The fullscreen movie slides up to reveal the desktop, and than you can select the Finder. After selecting the Finder, just press F11 again, and the movie slides down and plays as the desktop, and you are free to use any application.

[robg adds: Wow. Matrix Revolutions trailer running full-screen behind a couple windows as I type this. Very impressive! Not sure it's practical, but it makes a great demo!]
