One thing I gotta agree with is the windowed controller in VLC. Though I usually watch things in fullscreen so it isn't too big of an issue. However, VLC was so ugly imo (not sure how nice Movist looks), so I re-skinned it personally, as well as the fullscreen controller.

Is Movist as pretty as that? If so I may try it out. Oh, plus it needs to have some good subtitle options so I can run arabic subs, which was a pain to figure out in VLC settings.[/QUOTE]
Prettier IMHO

Turn off whatever audio tracks you want to.
Subtitles work, but I believe only integrated ones. Doesn't seem to work with .SRT files. (Maybe I just can't figure it out.) But I only have one file with an SRT, and that's only for the two scenes with foreign language. And eventually I'll just use MKVMerge to make it part of the file so I won't even need it.
The little icon in the window corner is for switching between FFMPEG and QuickTime playback. FFMPEG is faster in every instance. QuickTime is a dog on the same files.
Volume goes up to 400% like VLC.
Audio can be delayed or set ahead in case the file has badly synced audio tracks.
Playback speed.
But as I mentioned, it doesn't seem to be updated anymore. It's like it no longer exists. The sites are just stuck in time. But it's my favorite video player outside of Plex which I will use when I get a mini. But for local video, Movist is my player of choice.
VLC would simply need to add all the stuff Movist has and I wouldn't be opposed to switching back. By which I mean single-window application, controls for fine-tuning, the ability to use either QuickTime or FFMPEG...
