You can do this very easily. Install the free program called Plex on the computer that has your movies on it. It acts as a streaming server. Then you install the Plex app on the Fire TV Stick (and your phones, tablets, etc) and the app will link to your "server" from step one and you can watch everything back very easily. I think the Plex App costs a couple bucks but it's easily worth it for what it does.

Please try again later.yes you can, but it involves installing some kind of media streamer on the pc, I use Plex Media server, its a great app and the amazon fireTV stick has a plex app. install plex on the pc with your movies and download the plex app on the amazon fireTV stick you'll love the end result

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can, but with modification. See XMBC or KODI
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I do not think that they are connect so you can't watch movies on your computer hard drive with it. But if you have a Blu-Ray player with Wi-Fi I think you can watch them that way.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have seen no features during usage related to opening files on a network or another computer. You can use a "second display" but that is restricted to Amazon devices. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201493130
