If they are overwritten they are toast. If you had made backups with system image or other free software you would not have lost the movies.
I assume you tried all the suggestions, given
Actually the most important thing after file deleted is to not save any more data to the drive where your files are deleted. If you delete them from your hard disk, then do not use computer before you recover your files.
Not sure whether the deleted files are overwritten, or the recovery software is not good enough. I used to use free software recuva also, but then there's one time it failed to recover my deleted files, then I have to purchase shareware asoftech, which helped me recover my files. So now I use asoftech since I bough the license.
