There's nothing special about planes. Just check the "On" option on the General parameters section of the omni light properties.

try using a normal spotlight, go to its properties and hit "on" then select the desired shadow type.

ShadowMaps are awesome if you want semi-blurred (but low resolution) shadows,
go with Raytracing shadows if you want ultra realism
and then theres Mental Ray, for the ultimate in realism, only Mental Ray doesn't like making videos very much, haha.
