I've played around enough with video production to know that I'm really terrible at it, but I have to say that iMovie is simple to learn and very fun and will give you some great results. I've used premeire (a little) and Windows Movie Maker and absolutely despised them. Avid DV Express and Final Cut Pro are very powerful, you can do anything with them, but they're a big step up in complexity and at least for me, very difficult to learn. I guess it depends on what you're trying to do, if you want a system that's simple to learn and relatively powerful get hold of a Mac and use iMovie. The newest version is coming out in a few days.
