How can I delete a movie from inside the Quicktime application?

The "Delete" option in the Edit menu is greyed out, and I can't drag a movie to the trash. The only way I have found to delete a movie is to open in Finder and delete from there, which is extremely cumbersome. How can I access the Delete option in the Edit menu?

Delete in the Edit menu is for deleting a selection (part of a clip). The QT menu option is not for deleting movie files as a whole. It is intended that you do so in Finder, which is where you manage files.
