...but in different windows? i'm wanting to use a program that'll let me watch a movie on one screen then switch over and play a game in another, something like a virtual desktop manager but they work independently?
 
It's called Windows.

On Windows, you can open up and run different programs at the same time.

Some games may require a lot of your system resources - you wouldn't want to devote some of those resources to watching a movie when you need them for your game.
 
i wouldn't necessarily call it a "program" but an "os" windows allows this

The thing is you need dual display, 2 monitors functioning on your computer, you extend your desktop to the second monitor. Games, most of them that i play (warcraft 3, wow, counter strike) these games change the resolution on the monitor, these will always be in the main monitor because of that.

If you use Vlc media player (the best media player in the world) you can set that up so it takes up the second monitor

be advised most computers will lag while playing high end games on one monitor and a movie on another.

So simple answer:
Dual display
Extend Desktop
VLC Media Player
