回答: 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。
