Ah, thanks -- I simplified this a bit and came up with this, which
seems to work:
tell application (the path to application "QuickTime Player" as string)
Still strange that classic would be chosen first. I'll report this as
a bug to Apple.

For some reason, on Mac OS X, this causes the *classic* version of
QuickTime Player to launch, not the Mac OS X version (which lives in
its standard place in the /Applications folder). If the Mac OS X
version of the program is running, then it properly opens the movie.
Can anybody think of a fix to this, or a workaround? I don't want to
assume that QuickTime player lives in the /Applications folder, but I
don't want classic to launch!
Get QTPlayer's path from Finder (this returns the OSX path in my
experience) and provide the full path to "tell application" (this
works in my experience).
