How can you connect a standalone dvd player to your PC and watch movies?

Answer
You can:

A) Install a TV tuner card which will allow you to not only plug in a DVD player or VHS player, it will also allow you to view TV on the PC as long as you plug in either cable or an antenna.

There are many different ones but here is an example:

Or

B) You can use a similar USB device, does pretty much the same thing but uses the USB port and you don't have to open the computer

But why would you want to??? Doesn't your PC have a DVD drive?, if not you can install one or get an external USB one.

Answer
No.

DVD players for home theaters are NOT data devices. Find a friend with a working DVD drive in their computer and bring a USB Flash drive. Have him copy the files to the USB flash drive, then use this on your PC.
