You need the inverted commas because you are naming something. You do not need the indefinite article unless you are going to specify that it is a movie in your sentence. For example:
I have seen "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."
OR
I have seen the movie "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."/
I have seen the "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" movie.
The same rule applies for your second sentence. Does this answer your question?

There might not be a need for inverted commas since you are giving the name of the movie you have seen. You could use inverted commas when quoting a line from the movie
