Chinese cinema is often overlooked by Westerners and this is a serious mistake — the film industry in China is humongous, and offers up options on par with some of your favourite Hollywood movies. Furthermore, watching a movie in Mandarin Chinese is a great way to brush up on your language skills (check out this great post by FluentU on how to learn Mandarin from watching movies).
