What is the best film editing software that I can download for free?

Question by Allie S: What is the best film editing software that I can download for free?
I have been working a little with making movies and I really love it. It’s my favorite thing to do. I have Windows Movie Maker, but it really doesn’t do many of the things I want to be able to do and it’s difficult to use, not to mention time consuming. I would really like to be able to edit videos and make films that can be taken seriously and I can be proud of. I want to know if there is any software that is available for download that is free and has good effects and easy to use. I’m short on cash so if it’s free, that’s great, but I suppose I would be willing to pay for good quality editing software. I hate to put money away on a hobby, but I really love it. Please help!
