Is it correct?
Can I use 'indeed' to emphasise what someone said?
E.g. 'It's a sad movie.' 'Indeed!'

Yes, that's a correct use. You'll hear people say "Indeed" or "Indeed it is" in your example. That could change depending on time, "It was a sad day" : "Indeed it was", and so on. Both alone or with the added are correct. Hope this helps a bit.

Your use of 'indeed' is indeed correct.
One thing to be mentioned here is that in American spoken English, you would never hear 'indeed'. It is only used in formal written English.
In place of 'indeed' you would hear:
"That was a good movie!" "Yeah, it sure was!" or "Yes, I'll say!"
