Video Editor

[Mitica100]

Since I'm not into video, I thought I'd ask others here about a simple (and possibly free) video editor piece of software. Outside of the Windows Moviemaker, which I am not very fond of to say the least, are there any free or cheap user-friendly programs? I shot some video on our trip to Rome and I would like to have a photo slide show that can also include some of the video. Any ideas will be appreciated.
