Relative clause linker
안녕하세요!
Please, help me correct this sentence: 어제 영화를 보던, 오늘엔 보고 날까해요.
Verb root+던, example 먹던 사과 the apple I ate/ I was eating.

I want to say that "Today I have the intention to see (the end) of the movie I was seeing yesterday". I don’t know how to link these two clauses, I used a comma, I guess it must there be a proper link. 감사해요!

Answer

You could say also 어제 보다 만 영화를 오늘 마저 볼까 해요. 

어제 보다 만 영화 the movie I stopped watching yesterday

-다 말다 stop doing something
숙제하다 말았다. I stopped doing my homework.(I haven't finished my homework.)
좋다 말았다 It stopped being good.

Answer

it should be "어제 보던 영화를 오늘 마저(=끝까지) 볼까 해요". 
you don't need to put the comma to link two clauses in this sentence, and
please check the word order, "보던 영화를" as in "어제 보던 영화를" is correct like "먹던 사과".

Also, "마저(끝까지)~ 할까 해요" i used to correct your sentence could mean " i'm going to/i will finish sth i haven't done yet" in english.
