Why not to watch a movie in original language .....

I would be a rich woman if I could have a euro for every person who has said to me "I try watching movies in English but I don't understand a word" (To be honest, here in Italy I hear "I don't understand nuffing!!"). We never recommend an English learner watch a movie in English (unless they have an advanced level), it's too difficult and as a consequence is very demoralizing. A really useful activity, however, is to watch a film that you already know really well in your native language, so choose your favourite movie that you've watched a few times, change the language, and watch it in English. You'll already know the theme, the plot and you'll be familiar with what the characters are saying to each other. You're much more likely to 'pick out' (distinguish) new words and phrases because your brain isn't desperately trying to understand 'what the heck' (what on earth, what the devil) people are saying.
