Your video card software should have basic functions for that. For AMD it's Eyefinity.
Though there are 3rd party programs out there that make multi-screens easier to use.
I've always used UltraMon.
But you can't have 2 fullscreened applications. I don't know how it works, or why it does this, but when you click outside of the fullscreened window, it minimizes. I use to run dual screens when playing games. I'd have the game on one monitor and a browser on the other, but when i click on the browser the game minimizes.

You can't have a fullscreen game and watch a movie if you only have 1 screen. The closest you could get is to run the game and the movie windowed, but to keep the aspect ratio they would have to be a very small windows. So it's not worth doing really.
I've seen other gamers watch a movie in a little box in the corner of their fullscreen games.. but i don't know how to do that myself.
even on the internet my movie will minimise if i clicked on the page i’m browsing.
All i want to know is how to get my movie into that little box....

You cant play games and watch a movie at the same time without a second monitor. You cant split the screen unless you have some kind of special software or you have a "special" monitor that is 2 screens in one, like the 4k monitors.
