If you're really just planning to watch films (non-HD?), the cheapest chinese Android tablet will do you fine + RockPlayer or another VLC-like equivalent for the tablet.
Don't expect them to be fairly good, but they will be fine as an SD media player (sound quality I'm not sure, maybe will need to use headphone jack out to plug into headphones or speakers).
Usually available on ebay or aliexpress
