What is the best software to use to make a montage of video clips?

Question by Miss_Munky: What is the best software to use to make a montage of video clips?
I want to make a montage of some of my favorite funny scenes from various films. What would be the best software that allows me to cut scenes from movies and then combine them into one video clip? This would be only for my personal use and it would be great if the software was free as well!
Thanks!
Oh sorry, I forgot to add that! I’m using Windows 7 Ultimate.

What OS you are using would help, I use Linux and BSD, there are many programs for that, FREE and Open Source.
I climbed out of the windows 10 years ago, never looked back, never needed to.
There are many windows programs, free, that work and can do that, look at windowssecrets.com or sourceforge.net
