DVDs look great on glossy screen. Remember though that you will get a lot of reflections unless you sit directly in front of the screen.
Web browsing and general applications do look very nice on glossy screens... but you should probably go to PC World or something and have a look at a laptop with a glossy screent to see if you like it before making up your mind.
Personally, I prefer matte screens. Finger prints don't show up as badly as on a glossy screen. A good Matte screen has superior colour accuracy compared to a glossy screen. Matte screens don't suffer from reflections as much.
Glossy screen came out because when you see some screens lined up in a shop, the glossy ones stand out, and this gave an advantage to the laptop manufacturer (Sony etc.) in shop displays. Because of this almost all laptop manufacturers now include a glossy screen... but this doesn't mean its better than what they had before with matte screens.
