Here's a more detailed list comparing Free and Gold:

Films on Xbox Video can be quite pricey. You should be able to rent as well as buy. Gold isn't needed for them.

You can stream media from a PC to an Xbox 360 using Windows Media Player or a DLNA / UPnP Media Server such as PS3 Media Server or TVersity. You run the media server on your computer, sharing the folder with the media, and browse it using the Video/Music app on the console.

I use PS3 Media Server to stream videos to my 360 and PS3 (and iPad).

It's also possible to run a media server on a network HDD so you can stream without using a computer. TwonkyMedia Server, I think.
