play movies from my laptop on the tv??

Hi guys. What sort of hardware do I need to play movies from my laptop on the TV? I was thinking along the lines of a TV tuner card, but surely theres an easier way. Theres 1 VGA port on the laptop, no DVI. Perhaps a VGA to Scart adapter??

I don't think there is such a thing as VGA to SCART (someone correct me if I am wrong) unless you want to attempt to make your own, there a bunch of diagrams available online. I think you can get VGA to RGB like this which might work?

There are, I've had a look on ebay and seen a few (see link below). It just seemed a bit too easy to believe
