Watching film in English is the great way to learn.
I don't often watch films in English. I think it's difficult enough for my level. I can't watch films without understanding half or more part of a film. It's not interesting.
If you really want to learn language through watching films you need make a lot of pause, otherwise you should to select a movie that matches your English level and it can be not very interesting. Some people recommend watch films two times, the first with subtitles, the second without one. But for me it's a real challenge.
I think watching film in English should be fun, firstly.

If I can't understand at least half of a film, then it's not interesting.
If you really want to learn the language through watching films, you may have to pause frequently because of your English level and this can be distracting. Some people recommend watching films twice, once with subtitles and then without them.
Importantly, I think watching a film in English should be fun.

Agreed that the whole movie watching process is supposed to be fun. The downside to learning through movies is that if you can't find the right genre of movie that suits you, chances are, you may find it hard to grasp what the characters are talking about, or even put new English vocabulary and expressions you learn into use in daily life. However, it's still possible to pick up some good English whilst having fun if you can be selective on the genre and content.
I used to learn by watching action movies, thrillers, anime and sci-fi movies. Knowing that my listening was slow, I tried to grasp the main idea in the first view and turned off captions, only to focus on what I missed in the 2nd view. That works for me. Don't be held back even if you might need to pause several times. Alternatively, you can download both English and your native subtitles
so that you won't have to pause. Apart from movies, there're tons of TV shows and Youtube videos to choose from.
These days, I often listen to podcasts on movie review without spoilers before I stop by a local movie retal store. These programs will help you understand what to expect from the movie and complex metaphors that'll be in store for you.
Find out what works best for you and keep yourself motivated towards learning.
