映画が終わった。 sounds natural.
映画は終わった。 implies you expect another thing will be over.
For example, you are watching a movie while reading a book. And you finshed watching the movie. You can say 映画は終わった。 but 本は読み終わっていない。
Maybe not many people watch a movie while reading a book.
If you are doing your English and math homework. You finished English. You can say 英語（は）終わった。
