"Movie" is a US term interchangeable with the GB one "film" so, yeah!
p.s Where I come from we don �t even use the term "see". We say, "You wanna go check out that flick!

"Let �s go see a movie." I use it all the time.

Generally to watch is a now activity:
Watch the movie! (Pay attention to the movie now!)
I am watching a movie.
I was watching the movie when my phone rang.
And to see is less time-specific:
I saw a movie.
Have you seen that movie?
Let �s go see the movie.
If you live in England you might say, "I went to the cinema to watch a movie."
If you live in the US, you will say, "I went to see a movie."
