and t The film was amazing., I did like it, It's a thriller and I remained surprised throughout the film.
1/ When you are describing a type of film you always say "a whatever"; a comedy, a drama, a thriller. It means that the film is one example of that genre of film.
2/ If you don't use "I" here, you are implying that it's the film which "remained surprised".
3/
If you just say "remained surprised" you could be suggesting that you
were surprised and have continued to be surprised right up to now. It's
better to clarify this by saying that you were surprised during the
film's running time.
Generally I love action and drammatic dramatic (or drama) films. , I hate the classical stereotypical American's films with the super heroes, but I'm a fan of Tarantino's movies,. I also like French and old Italian movies.
1/ It would be hard to describe Transformers as a "classic". Classic films tend to be older and have an air of quality about them. (Yes, the word "classic" can also mean "typical of its kind" but when used with films it is more commonly used in the first sense.) I think in this case "stereotypical" is closer; (almost) every superhero film has the same set of characteristics. That is, bad story telling, things that blow up, more things that blow up, lack of character depth and so on. The word also has a slightly negative flavour that "classic" doesn't usually have.
2/ "American's" means something that is owned by just one American. ("The American's wallet was stolen.") Americans' means a thing that is owned by many Americans. ("There is nothing like the Americans' love of cars".) American (no apostrophe, no s) is a straight adjective meaning (in this case) "films which are American in origin".
3/ You would only use "the" in this case if you were referring to certain, specific superheroes.
4/ When used as an adjective, nationality names are capitalised in English. This is different to Italian. You therefore say French, not french, and Italian, not italian.

I love those the kind of movies which give you something.This may get a little confusing, so settle back and relax for a moment before reading on.
"Those" refers to something in the plural; more than one thing.
And yes, "movies" is plural.
However kind of movies is not. It is one particular kind (or type, or class) of movies. "Kind" is the noun that is being affected, not "movies".
You can therefore say this in a couple of different ways. You can say
I love this kind of movie, and shift everything to the singular;
I love the kind of movies as I've said above, where "the" is used to indicate one specific type of movie, even though you haven't specified what that type is. (It's a similar usage to "the cinema" as I described in part 1.)
If there was more than one type of movie you could then say "those kinds of movies", but that doesn't apply here.
After the cinema, we went for a walk in the fresh night air, and then we had something to eat.
You don't really need one of those commas. Removing either one would make the sentence flow better. But other than that it's a good sentence.
I liked that day, I like when I pull the plug for a sec tune out for a moment and I enjoy the little things in the life.
"Pull the plug" usually refers to something more permanent. For example, "I worked at the company for 6 months, but then they pulled the plug on my project". In this case I think you're referring to those times when you briefly let go of all the things that are worrying you and "live in the moment".
You have a good standard of writing. I can see it getting even better with more practice, as you understand a lot of the language quite well.
Part 1
What I did
Yesterday I went to the cinema with a friend of mine, and we, or it would be better to say, I, decided to saw see a new film called Black Butterfly with Antonio Banderas as the main character.,1/ You do need a bit of work in splitting up your text into sentences. As a rule of thumb if you have two commas in a sentence (other than a sentence which contains a list of items) you probably have one too many. If you have more than two, you definitely have too many. In this one you have 6. It makes the sentence jerky and difficult to read because you're continually asking the reader to pause.
2/ You don't go "to cinema" but rather "to a cinema" (to a non-specific cinema) or "to the cinema" (which can either mean a specific cinema even if you haven't named it, or to cinemas in general).
3/ "Or better" by itself sounds a little unnatural; it's not completely wrong but it wouldn't normally be used that way. The pronoun "I" would normally sit within the same comma because you're saying that it was your choice rather than a joint choice. (Incidentally "or rather I" is another way of saying this.)
4/ "Saw" is used for the simple past; "I saw a film". However here you are talking about something that you did in the past (that is, decided), and it was a decision to do something that, at that time was in the future. (You obviously had not seen the film at the time you decided to see it.) In this case you would therefore use the infinitive form "to see". It would be the same with anything else; "Last week I decided to make a cake", " I decided to join a gym", etc.
What I did
Yesterday I went to the cinema with a friend of mine, and we, or better, I decided to see a new film called Black Butterfly with Antonio Banderas in the lead role. And the film was amazing! I did like it. It's a thriller, and I remained surprised throughout.Generally, I love action and drama films. I hate the classic American films with super heroes, but I'm a fan of Tarantino's films (//consistency). I also like French and old Italian films.
I love those kinds of films which give you some value.
After the cinema, we went for a walk in the fresh night air, and then we got something to eat.
I liked that day. I like it when I pull the plug for a second (//?) and enjoy the little things in life.
