Lightwave, 3DS MAX, Inventor all able to simulate physics easily.

Maya comes as a PLE edition if you want to use that indefinately.

However it does come with awful rendering overlays becuase its free.

For animating and cinematics perhaps consider a media based piece of oftware like Lightwave and MAX, for more dynamic peices, inventor wins really.
