My Rabbi told me that it was ok to watch movies at home but not to go out to a movie theatre. He also said not to watch musicals and avoid very humorous movies. That's what I hold by!

Yes at home, no to the theater. Which in my parlance is the difference between "watching" and "seeing" movie.

my husband was told that if there would not be a minyan of men at the movie theater then you can go see a movie at the movie theater so growing up he was allowed to. now living in israel obviously we dont.
but we will watch movies at home.

I once heard someone ask Rav Yehuda Felix, who was the principal and founder of Orot College (most definitely MO), if it is muttar to watch movies in the 3 weeks and he answered:

Watching movies is assur all year round.
