Never too much power for movies, unless you are outside as well, since you control the power entering the speakers with that little thing called volume control and in a closer listening levels a HT environment brings you just wouldn't have to turn the volume up as much as you do for outside listening.

I would certainly be entertaining seperate amps to run the M80s for the outside listening levels you desire and I would move the M80's onto the deck/patio if at all possible. I have run my M80s outside on my deck a few times and it's great.
