Is this my movies??? or whats left of them

Hate to say but sure looks like it. Have you tried re-naming a couple of them with the proper extension and try to view it? Have you tried running "Recuva" on that folder.
As a last ditch effort have you tried 'chkdsk /r' on that drive? Take note that chkdsk may also destroy what is there!!! I say that because in some cases it has fixed the problem where other times it hasn't and made things worse especially if it is a drive problem. The fact you had crc errors on that drive is not a good sign.

YES Just remember that the drive had problems and even after a format (I would suggest a destructive format from the manufacturer of the drive) that you may have problems down the road.
