To sign "movies," hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of your chest with the palm facing inward toward your body. Place the heel of your flat dominant hand against the heel of your non-dominant hand, with your dominant palm facing forward. Keeping the base of your hands touching, pivot your dominant hand side to side a few times.
Sign "you," "want," "go," and then "movies." Make sure to raise your eyebrows and lean forward slightly at the end of the sentence to indicate you are asking a yes/no question.
Sign "my," "favorite," "movie," and then "comedy." Using the sign for "movie" early in the sentence clearly establishes the topic you are talking about.
Sign "past-night," "we," "watch," "three," and then "movies." Remember to keep your non-dominant hand steady as the base while your dominant hand does the waving motion.

Yes, this sign is commonly used for 'movie,' 'film,' and 'cinema.' If you want to specifically say 'movie theater,' you can sign 'movie' followed by the sign for 'building' or 'theater,' but often just signing 'movie' is enough depending on the context.
Yes! Your dominant hand should always be the one in front doing the waving motion. Your non-dominant hand stays still in the back, acting as the foundation for the sign.
A gentle, moderate pace is perfect. You only need to pivot your hand side to side about two or three times. Doing it too fast might look frantic, while doing it too slowly might seem unnatural.
