How do you say this in Japanese? "I finished the movie" and "The movie has ended"

Are these grammatically correct?

I finished the movie: 映画を終わった

The movie has ended/The movie is over: 映画が終わった

映画を終わった does not sound natural.
映画を観終わった is correct.

映画が終わった is perfect.

Japanese

I finished the movie →映画を観終わった
this sentence is more natural expression!
映画が終わった→OK!

すみません、もう質問が一つあります。

Which is more natural for saying "The movie is over"?
映画(が)終わった or 映画(は)終わった

Japanese

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。
