Is It Possible? If so, what will I need?
I have over 1000 movies. i was wondering if I can buy an external Hard Drive (say 500G)and load them in there. How would I connect this HardDrive to a TV so I can acess my movies instantly. Is that even possible?

Oh I have a really old TV and thinking of purchasing on new one for this set up. If it is possible to connect the harddrive to my tv. What kind of TV should I look into?

Try this, don't think you can get away without a computer. Maybe?
I would try this:
Denzel TP420-SD Home Theater Media Server | Home Entertainment
Also try googling "home theater video server"

Look at the HP MediaSmart Server and PCs. The server will act as a server on your home network. You can then put all your media on it (video, music, photos) on it. With a media smart TV you can them connect the TV to the server and stream your media to the TV.
