Thanks for the comments guys. Here's what if have, and Joshua it almost looks like yours. Let me know what you think. HTML below:

<div class="video-wrapper">
   <iframe width="560" height="316"
      src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7pQQHnqBa2E">
   </iframe>
</div>

Dude I would love to. I've put it one my Xampp Apache server to test it out, and it looks good in all three browsers. I don't have a web hosting company yet. Also, I've used three pictures that relate to the movie for each movie page, and I'm sure there's copyright issues. I've even went as far as to make sure each picture resizes with the browser window for mobile phones.

And here is my css:

.video-wrapper {
  position: relative;
  padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 */
  padding-top: 25px;
  height: 0;
}

.video-wrapper iframe{
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

Thanks Joshua much appreciated. I'm making a practice site called my favorite movies. Scarface, Goodfellas, Casino, The Empire Strikes Back, and Alien. I'm watching Scarface now, I'm at the part, "Maybe you can handle yourself one of those one way tickets to the resurrection." :D
